UFC Interim Champion Frank Mir has thrown some heavy blows in his war of words with UFC World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar.

 

Mir was interviewed by Dave Farra of www.ragvegas.tv  and said Lesnar reminded him of controversial TUF competitor Junie Browning.  Mir made no secret of the fact that he despised Browning when he coached him on Spike TV's The Ultimate Fighter reality show. Mir stated that the publicity surrounding Lesnar as a former WWE Champion reminds him of the press attention received by Browning.

"(Lesnar) represents things that I don't," Mir exclaimed, "He gets paid more than I do. Junie Browning was highlighted on the show and didn't even win the reality show. Efrain Escudero won the reality show and right now do most people know who Efrain is? So is that really teaching people in our sport to act respectful and to be a martial artist? That has to be a choice on your own. It actually probably hurts my pocketbook at the end of the day. But again, I don't look down on Brock for doing things like that, because guess what? Brock's going to make more money than I am when we fight each other."

Mir also expressed a heavy desire to fight Fedor Emelianenko.

"I don't want to leave this life without ever having been in there with Fedor," Mir said. "I have to say he's the best heavyweight in the world. He has a better record than I have. Do I feel, though, that I could beat Fedor? Absolutely."
