Frank Mir Believes Brock Lesnar Should Be Stripped of Belt If Expected Return Date Is Late 2010
Frank Mir recently appeared on ESPN Radio 1100 and gave his thoughts on why he believes Brock Lesnar should be stripped of his UFC heavyweight belt if his expected return date is in late 2010.
He said:
“If he (Brock Lesnar) is going to be out for that long that we can set that (interim title) fight up, should he even hold on to the belt at all. The interim belt I think works if the champion is not able to defend his belt within a year-long period. You know he’s going to be out for eight, nine months, you make the interim belt, then he comes back after a year. But, as of right now, his last fight was in July. If he’s out a year from even today’s date, that’s a year and a half. At that point I don’t think you can hold the belt ransom. They gave me about a year when I got into my injury, so I’ve been on that side of the coin too, and I was more than happy to go ahead and relinquish the belt at that point, because you feel kind of selfish that you’re not able to really do anything with it.”
Mir is next scheduled to take on Shane Carwin at UFC 111 on March 27 from the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.
