Fedor Emelianenko - Frank Mir

"I lost my composure, allowing my ego to own the course of my actions. Usually I have good control over my emotions and do not allow this, but when Fedor made a high-quality cast, my ego was hurt. When we got up in the stance, I already went into street jacket mode. I started throwing out the endpoints with my left hand instead of being composed and acting prudently. I let the emotions take over me.

"This throw did not inflict any damage to me. If I were on my feet at the time, I could win, because at the beginning of the fight I managed to knock him down," said Mir.

In addition, the fighter shared his nearest career plans:

"Bellator offers me a fight in October, and before that I would like to perform at the ACB. If I stay active, then I'll gain good conditions faster. You can train as much as you want, but you cannot put them next to a real fight. Over the past two years, I spent only 50 seconds in the cage," said Mir.
