Just thinking about it right now off the top of my head, Frank Mir has fought:
JDS
Barnett
Lesnar x 2
Carwin
Nelson
Cormier
Nogueir x 2
Crocop
And now Overeem
Love him or hate him, the dude does not take an easy fight. Lifelong Mir fan here.
Agreed...Ben saying it for years
Very true. And I would add Sylvia to that list. He beat Big Tim when he was a legitimate force in the division. Submitting Roberto Traven in his third professional fight was quite a feat.
Mir is a great fighter, most of his fights are fun to watch
A seasoned and experienced be for sure. Title holder as well.
MURRRRRR!
Grantman - Agreed...Ben saying it for years
You're right Ben he definitely has fought a lot of great competition.
Go back and check his record, he even has a controversial win over Dan Quinn early in his career.
Lol..I didn't make it from my phone to my computer to edit it before it's already been quoted twice...
Andersons_Chin - A seasoned and experienced be for sure. Title holder as well.
MURRRRRR!
2 time champ (one was an interim), the two fights with noguira are enough to make mir a legend, dude is a beast just can't hang with todays top 5 heavyweights
He's had a helluva career, win or lose. Definitely a HOF'er.
jmont -Indeed. Good call.Andersons_Chin - A seasoned and experienced be for sure. Title holder as well.
MURRRRRR!2 time champ (one was an interim), the two fights with noguira are enough to make mir a legend, dude is a beast just can't hang with todays top 5 heavyweights
So does he beat the reem?
lets not forget PedePano, big Wes 2x, and Vera, mma's version of murderers row
Mir has fought tougher opponenets than any other champ or fighter in the ufc
I've always been a frank Mir hater. Because he's the devil. But the dudes a gamer he will fight anyone. And you gotta respect that. Even if he has been losing recently it's been all to monsters
Pick it up Brad Pickett - Brock Lesner fought the hardest competetion.
He fought former champ Mir in his UFC debut
Fought Herring (top 10 at the time, and legit pride contender)
The legendairy Couture who was champ
The interim champ mir with improved striking which he used to finish Egg Nog for the first time
Carwin who KO'd every fighter he versed in the first round
Velasquez who is the current Champ, and more impressively the first MEXICAN- AMERICAN champ
Then he fought K1, dream, and strikeforce champ, a juiced to his gills Reembot
Plus he was scheduled to fight JDS, and Fedor
All that bulshit to be called a pussy by fans.
Brock Lesner was an extraordinary, successful huuman being, but he is the laughing stock of this website. Why? Because he had the charisma and good looks to be a WWE superstar.

JDS
Mir
Reem
Barnett

IF ANYTHING, Mir has had one hard fuckin' road for sure!!!
I personally am not too much of a fan, but I sure as hell have nothing but pure respect for his résumé
