Yesterday at 06:03 AM

Frank Mir is typically a well-mannered and chilled individual when he’s not fighting in the cage, but there are still some situations that push him to the edge.

The former UFC champion has confessed that there’s one thing that happens in the gym that really angers him.

Frank Mir gets very angry when this happens

In his esteemed career, Frank Mir proved himself to be one of the greatest heavyweights the sport has ever seen, scaling the UFC mountain not once but twice.

The skilled athlete forged a reputation as one of the best Brazilian jiu-jitsu practitioners in the history of the division, regularly forcing his opponents to tap with ruthless submissions.

Now, he’s guiding his children down the path of martial arts, aiming to instill in them the same warrior spirit that has always lived inside him.

However, on occasion, Mir claims that when his kids are competing, the parents of their opponents can take it a little too seriously.

In an interview on the HJR Podcast, he explained: “The only times I’ve ever had to walk out of a gym, sometimes my kids will be on the mat, and I can see the parents has their kid going, and the kid is going kind of nuts.

“The parent is trying to live through that their kid is going to beat my kid. They’re going hard, and my kid still thinks it’s a game of rolling around.

“I have to sit there and go, ‘Turn it on’. Then, I get mad. I’m like, ‘Hey, wait a minute, if you wanna find out we can find out, if you have any questions, we’ll go outside and I’ll answer every one of them for you’.”

With his children, including Isabella Mir, now continuing his legacy, it’s fair to say that the family name is held in a very high regard.

And, of course, that all started with what the man himself was doing inside the octagon, and, indeed, the training room, where he honed his craft ahead of the biggest nights of his career.

On one occasion, he went to war on the mats with a famous former UFC fighter and the session almost ended in disaster.
