No DC was already strike force champion so he was already proven to be really good, he deserved a high ranked fight for his first fight. Like how Gaethje got a top 5 opponent for his UFC debut too
He is one of the scariest guys that ever fought. Looks like a good natured cuddly grandad yet has the ability to utterly destroy any human being that doesn't have high level training in multiple martial arts.
@@wisdomincoming12 DC took down Josh Barnett, so size isn't a problem. Mir did have excellent BJJ, though, so maybe you're right about DC not wanting to test it.
Yeah, that's the thing you can't tell by someones weight if their an athlete at times. If they're an a great athlete who gained a lot of weight or for whatever reason is overweight you won't be able to tell by looking at them that they're a good athlete.
DC was a Olympic wrestler and trained at probably the best MMA gym in the world. Fans don't know DC is a hvwt even in wrestling so in that caliber the hvwt wrestlers are athletic.

True. I think 90% of the time he does finish Frank, but for whatever reason he didn't this time, although he did beat the hell out of him. He's so beyond Frank that I wouldn't think Frank lasts a round though normally.
@@billj4525frank was in his prime when he fought DC and a descent hvwt championship contender in UFC. If DC didn't train at AKA frank Mir would of beat DCs ass or caught him with armbar or bjj move.
What on earth are you yapping about my dude. The dude is a 5'9 heavyweight. What do you except? You want him to be under 10% bodyfat with a sixpack?? Also imagine thinking you know fighter better than the fighter himself. 🤡🤡🤦♂️🤦♂️
I think he did good for fighting DC. DC under performed. Considering how much better he is than Frank, if they were to have that fight several times most of the time DC wins in round 1. So Frank did well. He might have looked unmotivated, but that's just because DC was beating the hell out of him and wasn't letting him do anything.
People forget that DC was undefeated at heavy for a reason. He was a real problem. Hard to believe he was more explosive, powerful, and effective at HW than at LH. He was better than Cain. Even Jon said he wanted nothing to do with DC at heavy weight.
Cormier's wrestling, cardio, pressure and LHW speed just too much for most heavyweights. For me Frank Mir has always blown hot and cold and has struggled with wrestlers who can strike a bit.
These videos are awful the way the audio pops in and out makes them hard to watch and breaks up the action. I'd say these are not even ammature level given the state of the sound and the cuts.
It's amazing he even lasted a round vs DC, so if anything he did much better than he normally would. If they do that same fight a few times, then Frank loses in round 1 the majority of the time. DC is so much better than him.
Combat très décevant, MIR a fait illusion les quelques 1ère minutes ensuite c'est CORMIER qui a plus que géré le combat durant tout les autres round . Un MIR fantomatique....beaucoup le considère comme une légende, je dois bien avouer que je n'ai pas l'honneur de le connaître plus que çà. Puisque j'ai réellement découvert le MMA il y a tout juste 3 ans donc pour certains d'entre vous j'suis un p'tit puceau....mais malgré tout j'ai déjà vu pas mal de combat et celui-ci fait parti des plus mauvais!!
@@ScottHendrix-yz3du merci pour ton info car effectivement j'ai vu d'autres combat de MIR et ouais il était assez direct comme gars un très bon combattant !! C'est le drame pour ces gars là, c'est qu'ils ne savent pas s'arrêter à temps et d'un coup ils tombent de haut.....c'est dommage !
@@cyrilpierron1689 I can't read your language but not only did I fight for years I've watched the UFC since the first one. I followed Frank's career and he just looked unmotivated here. After his loss to brock lessner he actually got better for awhile because how was pissed and he advanced in skills.
Daniel's demeanour and persona is so misleading. DC is one of the top five greatest fighters ever. He only lost to two people and still beat and knocked out one of them. His resume is quite impressive. He beat every heavyweight he ever fought including Stipe. He beat every light heavyweight except for Jon Jones. He beat Gustafsson at his peak and people like Khamzat worship Gustafsson.
Additionally Mir has some of the most dangerous jiu jitsu in the UFC and can change the fight in a second - DC probably be able to avoid with his top control, but easiest to avoid it.
Not scripted. DC was dominating with the clinch against the cage for 2 rounds. Mir wanted to get the fight to the ground but was getting beat up, headbutted, underhhooked and uppercutted for ten mins. In round 3 Mir realised success going to the body with big kicks and hooks, he should have been doing that all fight. Body shots is DC's kryptonite, he retired once Stipe and Jones had exposed that to the world, it's crazy nobody else besides ever thought to punch Cormier in his big fat gut. Mir probably should have imanari rolled for a leg, would have been a better idea than trying to clinch with an Olympic wrestler.
UFC back then was nuts. Frank Mir on your debut is crazy.
He was a strikeforce Champion i believe
He’d already gotten wins over Bigfoot Silva and Josh Barnett in Strikeforce.
No DC was already strike force champion so he was already proven to be really good, he deserved a high ranked fight for his first fight. Like how Gaethje got a top 5 opponent for his UFC debut too
honestly the tecnhique in this fight is still better than 90% of HW fights in the UFC today.
DC and Mir are 2 of the greatest ever, so it’s not surprising
99%*
Hm
Idk man Tom Aspinall is pretty good
@@tertainment414tom is in not like 90% of the HW since he is the best you get what i mean
Undersized and was relentless. I still remember DC picked up Barnett and slammed him. Crazy strength and athleticism.
He is one of the scariest guys that ever fought. Looks like a good natured cuddly grandad yet has the ability to utterly destroy any human being that doesn't have high level training in multiple martial arts.
Part of me was expecting DC to be commentating his own fight lol
You literally made me laugh out loud with that comment. Now you hafta narrate in DCs voice as punishment. ✌️😜
😂😂😂😂 we can all relate
Mir's kryptonite has always been wrestlers
And anyone with decent standup
But there was no wrestling. There was a lot of grappling and stalling against the cage, but that's not wrestling.

he was the strikeforce heaveyweight champion , he knocked out everyone and fedor was in that tournament DC is one the best to do it@@ogreface8
He shoulda made jones come up to HW back then, jones was too scared tho.
DC doesn't look it but I'm always surprised what an elite athlete he is.
Imagine a gym rat picking a fight with him at a bar
Yeah, that's the thing you can't tell by someones weight if their an athlete at times. If they're an a great athlete who gained a lot of weight or for whatever reason is overweight you won't be able to tell by looking at them that they're a good athlete.

Респект Френк Миру!!! Я всегда уважал его!!!
Cormier and Dan Henderson are the smaller guys who have had the best results against big opponents. Two legends of this sport.
DC is the heavyweight GOAT
IMHO..
has to be considered
Nah not even close
Dc was feeling them body shots at the end like vs stipe
Cormier foi um dos melhores de sempre!
DC is unbelievable.
Rogan and Goldy doing helium throughout the fight.
Man no ones made frank look so good ever
Una paliza legendaria recibió Mié.
Не было здесь никакого доминирования от Кормье, он лишь был чуточку лучше Мира.
DC's stamina is world class here
Cormier sempre teve esse ponto fraco quando era golpeado na costela e pouco foi explorado dele.
DC my favorite UFC fighter of all time button
Frank Mir has the best ground game skills of any fighter ever.
Closer than I remember
DC was a beast, too bad he didn’t train hard or eat right. Guy might have actually beat Jon Jones but nope, got big brothered and rag dolled
What on earth are you yapping about my dude. The dude is a 5'9 heavyweight. What do you except? You want him to be under 10% bodyfat with a sixpack??
Also imagine thinking you know fighter better than the fighter himself. 🤡🤡🤦♂️🤦♂️
Trained pretty hard for them Olympics, and put up a decent fight at 38 against a 30 year old JJ, in what was essentially his second career.
Frank Mir looks like ”why most we do it so fast??😮I have no cardio for that”😅
Mir looked slow and like he didn’t want to be there
he looked like he was payed to loose
Cormier wanted nothing on the ground. Good move.
He definitely beat Mir not even a question, but by no means dominated.
Crazy next level.
there you go over 2 decade's later.
DC looks cute even if he is angry.😍
Its a real shame we never saw Cormier vs Lesnar.
Frank Mir is easily a top 10 heavyweight of all time so this video demonstrates how just good Cormier was.
Frank mir did not do bad! DC just had the pressure and close quarters fighting advantage.
Prime Frank Mir Vs DC would have been fire
Frank Mir was literally like 60 years old tho
Most frustrating audio I've ever heard
unmotivated Frank Mir. . .
excuses
@@mrt445 DC would have won either way IMO, but this is definitely a past his prime and unmotivated Mir. He used to move way better than this

You can just see it. Like he was just trying to get paid
Great fight
DC would've beaten Jon in HW even with Steroids
🤦
Weight cut sucks a lot for dc but jones won’t weight cut either so it won’t just be dc getting the benefits
This Mir was far removed from his prime.

or TRT
Mir just beat Cro cop and big nog but all the sudden when he fights DC he’s past his prime? Bro him and DC are the same age too

Should change the title tbh💀
Watch his fight vs Barnett... You will be shocked
Good fight
O mir ainda durou muito ...
back when dc was called black fedor.
DC was so freaking talented. DC would be in the GOAT conversation if it wasn't for Jon Jones
Jones was a pussy for not moving up to HW back then.

Funny how it was ok for Cormier to cut down to LHW 3 times at age 36 but Jones wants to retire at that age.

It's interesting how DC gave Mir the chance to strike and hang with him toe to toe, I wouldn't expect this from a wrestler. Yet Mir couldn't deliver.
Makes you wonder how close the Brock vs DC fight would have been considering Brock murdered Mir 😂😂😂😂😂😂
If there wasn’t a “Jon Jones” in the universe…
Bro thought he was robelis despaigne Rd 1
That is prime DC and he's the best heavyweight of all time after Cain
Mir could of won this, if he didn't allow Cormier to punish him against the fence all the time.
It's like Frank Mir wasn't trying to fight. I wonder if something was on his mind other than what was in front of him
