I keep imagining Frank Mir rapping "I've got nuttin' but love for you honey" to Reem in his best Heavy D impersonation voice after watching last night's edition of UFC tonight on FUEL TV. Mir was asked if he thinks the Reem deserves a second chance after his recent elevated TE test results and his NSAC licensure hearing yesterday afternoon and he showed nothing but support for Overeem.

"I think this is the first time that he's ever come up positive at tests, as far as I'm aware of. It seems like he had a viable explanation for what happened. Everybody makes mistakes. We all do things that we're not proud of. We've all made mistakes professionally or in our personal life that are not our greatest moments in life. To sit there and ostracize somebody and never allow them to redeem themselves, I think would be very against humanity and our overall impression that I try to carry as a person. Everybody deserves opportunities. You know, he goes out there and he follows all the stringent testing the athletic commission is probably gonna put ahead of him and all the hoops he's gonna have to jump through. As long as he does those things, then yeah, you know I'll see him back in there. I think he's a fierce competitor. We've seen what he did with Brock. I would hate to lose him and not have him as a piece in the Octagon or as a competitor in the heavyweight division, due to something outside the Octagon."

Maybe when he sat next to the Reem at the UFC 146 press conference in March and felt Reem's energy knock over those Xyience energy drink cans he too was touched by the Overeem Effect. I don't know, but from the look on Frank Mir's face in the banner pic and his support on UFC tonight,  he really does seem to respect dig the Reem's operation. I just hope they become super best friends (like BJ and Matt) and enjoy a leisurely motorcycle ride together one day and post the pic on Instagram.

Someone still has some psychological scars from the Brock fight evidently.

That's cool. I like Mir. But he wants no part of that clinch.

He comes off that way alot of the times, but the other half, he comes off as an arrogant goofball, a little to high on himself at times. Used to be a big Mir fan, but the last couple years he's started to irk me with some of his comments. At one time he was ripping on AO and Fedor talking trash, now he's trying to back up Alistar.
What I really want to know is, how the fuck is it that HE gained 20/30lbs of muscle in a few months, an nothing is really said about it, but than I have a sinking feeling Mir is another one riding the Roid train..Either way, he's gonna get KTFO by JDS, as the only two to beat him are/would be imho, Alistar and/or Fedor(yeah yeah, flame away homo's :P)

This is why people hate him. Showing any sort of decorum is frowned upon by the average MMA fan. He should get a mohawk or dye his hair red or something, get the fans back on his side!

it's just that Mir is generally an asshole while on some rare ocassions he's quite normal and likeable. I don't get it. he might be bipolar?
