I would understand if he intentionally got bigger. But compare his physique today cutting to 265 to his physique when he cut the weight earlier in his career.

Funny how all these fighters who previously fought outside of the UFC, come to the UFC, and suddenly are no longer ripped or shredded. hmmmm
Are they both 6'1"? They look about the same height even though Mir is barefoot.
He's been fighting in the UFC since UFC 84 (May '08) though.
Here ya go, HB:

Its rather intriguing isn't it. I wonder where 30lbs of muscle just disappears to.....
He been fighting in the UFC for 2 years and this is going to be his 4th fight. It seems like something more recent.

Apparently Frank Mir stole it over the course of a few months
but nobody in the UFC uses steroids.
Mir looked pretty big and in good shape, more interesting fight now imo

I would not be surprised if we hear about an injury that Carwin battled throughout his training camp.
Disagree, Carwin does not look out of shape.
My guess is he has been working his cardio big time for this and has moved the weight into other parts of his body.
Frank looks huge!
ttt
carwin had to lose some of that muscle. no way he could have cut that much to hit 265.
Just for curiosity's sake I wanted to see how Mir compares height-wise to Carwin and Mir. And no, I'm not saying the shorter fighter will automatically lose the fight, lol.
Look how small Mir's hands are compared to Carwin lol
Mir is not in good shape.
I think I might cry if that a$$hole Mir wins.
I wonder if Mir has improved his wrestling and takedown defense. He only ever talks about getting bigger and stronger. Also, is that extra bulk gonna slow him down? Another thing Brock has in addition to his strength and size is that he has good speed for someone that big.
lol @ Carwin being listed at 6'5
