Frank Mir Has Fixed Himself

As a long time fan of Frank Mir, I can tell you his career is the definition of a roller coaster ride. He went from submitting one of the best grapplers in the world as a purple belt, to losing and putting on lethargic and listless performances against sub-par competition, to having a horrific motorcycle accident that almost didn’t let him train again (let alone fight at the highest levels of Mixed Martial Arts).
