Chris Van Vliet, Frank’s got to be one of the most aware Heavyweights of all time. Once Lesner gave him the arm, jumped on it like a tiger! Straight up Savage!! He’s GrrrrRRRRRREAT!!!
Great interview would be chuck palumbo
Chris what a great year of interviews. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us in 2020
I can't wait either!
@@ChrisVanVliet dumbass interview cm punk or david beniot or orton or rollins
@@redcloud5425 why you being negative?
Bret Hart would be a great interview!
28:25 the brock fight
Thanks
sir ur awesome
King Mo thank you
Thank you
This was one of my favorite interviews of the year!!! Really hope we get Mir vs Lesnar 3
I could have watched this chat all day! Dudes a great guy and super respectful of MMA and Wrestling. I'd love to see Lesnar v Mir 3. Chris great year of content. Thank you for all the hard work!
And thank you for watching!
Brock Lesnar might be a hard interview to get.
I wouldn't even entertain that. Either he would sends Heyman or it would be as short as MJF was lol
wrath231 not only is Brock gay he is also a man
Maybe if it's less then 5 minutes then he probably could get it
Brock didn't even talk to Stone Cold much on his podcast so good luck to Chris on getting him to say more than 5 words 😂
@@TimonPumbaTv yeah stone cold could barely get a sentence out of him lmao. Good luck to Chris if he still wants an interview with Brock
Frank is such a great talker, could listen to these stories all day
Honestly after watching this, I've gained a lot of respect for Frank after this interview.
Seems like a humble and very smart guy. Aaaand this guy is jacked, his shoulders are like bowling balls
Frank is such a awesome dude, I wish we could get him on Joe's podcast
Mir did a pro-wrestling match against Dan Severn in Josh Barnett's Bloodsport event
Frank looks like a Daredevil villain with that cigar. Love it!
Imagine the trash talking between Frank Mir & Brock Lesnar in a wrestling ring with Paul Heyman there. That would be quite the sight.👊🤣
Only if Vince gives Mir freedom in his promos
this guy said he wish Brock would die from octagon-related injuries,i bet Brock would probably kill this douche if they ever come across each other.
such a huge fan of Frank Mir especially on his prime! He was the real deal heavyweight back then!
I found it so impressiv how quick a large guy like him could be!
Found this through a short, 4 years late but glad I came across this. I’ve seen some of your WWE interviews but never MMA
I’m sure other people have said but there’s a reason for that, I love that Chris asks a question and just shuts up and lets frank talk. That’s why RUclips interviews are leagues better than tv interviews because there’s no time limit and the interview can be as long as they want
I would like to see Chris Van Vliet interview Chael P. Sonnen
Hey Chris how about RVD !!!??? Really miss the guy!!!
I had RVD on a few months ago. What a guy!
@@ChrisVanVliet I saw the interview bro!!! very cool as always, would be cool to see more ECW legends too like Sabu for example, keep up the great work Chris
Typed this comment out before I finished listening, I'm definitely more confident in his interest to give this a whirl, but either way:
Frank's MMA career plummetted once he decided to jump from 240 to needing to cut to 265.
He was known to be the best heavyweight submission artist in UFC history, then decided to play into the strengths of every stand-up artist he faced because of his 'new-found power.'
He dumped Kongo, Todd Duffee, but was never the same fighter or able to find openings against the creme of the crop.
Seeing Frank so bulky, especially after his PED suspension, really bums me out.
He was my favorite martial artist of all-time, and battling back from a "career-ending injury" when he tore his knees up in a motorcycle accident as the youngest world champion, only to battle back to the top; a story that is largely forgotten by the casual MMA world.
He's a remarkable voice, tremendous commentator, and one of the best in his division to compete. That said, I hope his heart is in wrestling and it's not him trying to prolong a career when he's no longer deemed a contender. I don't want to see one of my favorites get broken down and rundown by father-time.
You sure wrote a lot there yet said very little
Frank Mir was one of favs back in the UFC... and I was one of the cats that knew he would make Brock tap in that first match... #ExperienceAlwaysWinsOut... 💯💯💯
U need to interview ufc fighters as well it would be dope especially someone like T ferg lol
T Ferg the type of guy to interview Chris on his own show.
Tony Blessed Frguson
Try too interview luke harper
to
Great interview man would love to see more MMA interviews have to try for Bones Jones or Stipe
Austin aries is everywhere atm is he stalking u? 😉😂😂
Steven Crowder and Frank Mir are the same type of guy.
Amazing interview.
Chris..heres an idea for 2020..how about interviewing some of the Samoan Dynasty ie:Solofa Fatu (WWE HOF Rikishi) Reno Anoa'i (Count Black Pearl head trainer of Knoxk Pro Wrestling Academy) Maybe MLW World Champ Jacob Fatu...just an idea
great interview guys. Frank is so well spoken.
Frank’s stance on the flippy dippy and comedy side of wrestling sums it up perfectly for me
Frank Mir inhaling that huge cigar 🤦♀️
No wonder he got #smoked in fights 😂
Chris, I look up to you as an aspiring journalist. I’d do anything to be mentored by you. Keep doing what you’re doing and hopefully one day I get to achieve my dream and do what you’re doing. Thank you Chris!
Watching in 2021
Selling would be hard for Mir. I remember him breaking more arms and twisting legs in MMA than I can count.
I agree I just commented the same thing and he doesn't like the flips and crazy gimmicks he just doesn't get pro wrestling, great fighter just wouldnt be able to sell or understand why a gimmick just works.
Imagine a wrestling faction of shooters in the WWE managed by Paul Haymon with Bobby Lashley, Cain Valasquez and Frank Mir.
from 16:00 - 16:30 had me dieing 😂
A Brock Lesnar vs Frank Mir pro wrestling match wouldn’t be a good idea. When two men who just hate each other so much I don’t know if Brock would want to do it cause it would turn into a real life fight.
Could you interview ICP
Heavyweight submission machine
I fucking love you Frank 💯💯💯 Big Up My Boy Aries Too #AllFuckingDay
i watch the mir vs lesnar ufc fight 1 and 2 all the time.. i was a brock fan since 2002 and followed his career ,but since that fight i also became a fan of frank mir in the octagon im sad when he left or whatever
I just want to say something. If y'all are giving a thumbs down to someones hard work you're a terrible person. You dont like it then dont watch. That being said, CVV you're awesome.
Austin Aries was a surprise to me
maybe he'll have a chance against Brock in a pro wrestling ring
Oh yeah btw AEW fam!!! I know Austin is like Austin lol But that guy is one of the most talented wrestlers I’ve ever seen by a country I mile. Sign him up, make Mir his bodyguard, fam the legitimacy of that friendship is real genuine shit man. Book it Tony!!!! 💯👊🏾
Why he was smoking during the interview??!!!
I've beeb seeing Frank all over here... his son still playing football?!?
Frank mir is the king
I like cigar men
Frank Mir the legend.
I'm a big fan of Mir
Ultimate Warrior..........oh
Frank Mir vs Brock Lesnar bare knuckle heavy weight championship take my money!!
I hope vince signs him so he can finally retire Brock Lesnar
We've got Matt Riddle for that.. Hopefully
Brock killed him at UFC 100 you moron, Brock wasn't even 100% then he was still battling diverticulitis which almost ended his life yet he still gave Mir the biggest beating he's ever had. Lesnar would kill him if Vince does sign him.
@@jackwalsh8871 They're one and one dude. Each has lost to the other.
@@81rbutler Mir got a flimsy hold of Brock's ankle, don't kid yourself. He looked as though he had been in a car crash after his fight with Lesnar at 100.

Go to Louisville and interview Cornette.
I didn't know Frank a cigar smoker

@@ChrisVanVliet 🙏🙏🙏🙏 forever will be grateful, definitely my idol
@@ChrisVanVliet I want to see you interview David Benoit!!!!
@@ChrisVanVliet Really hoping to see david benoit on the show soon. Heard he wants to go to AEW once he makes his wrestling debut. Looking forward to it. Great video by the way keep up the good work in 2020! 👍👍👍
Mir vs Lesnar 3.....
That guy once tapped out lesnar, and Frank Mir is there too
wow is that same dude who mock brock as fake fighter because he was a pro wrestler, lol he changed a lot
stupid,hate when they compare movies and wrestling,movies are not the same,like they are all not the same thing over nd over again,he should step back with lesner in mma,but fake match wrestling and when there careers are over,is that the retirement event now,if you cant fight then fake it,like wow
28:00
I’m pretty sure Brock Lesnar doesn’t even remember who this jerk-off is. 😂
Frank Who? 😂
His wife is hot!
Mir can’t handle Lesnar. Even when Lesnar lost the first fight he still beat up this chump.
BROOO i never clicked so fast, huge fan of mir and his submissions
@Toxic Gaming because Mir was a real fighter
@@Wilsson02 you said 100percent true Frank is real fighter and best bjj
@Toxic Gaming his opinion changed. He literally talks about it in the video. People are allowed to change opinions, especially after so many years
I wonder how much better Mir's career would have been if his motorcycle accident had not effected him so much. At the time, Mir was a beast! And he truly knows his stuff in martial arts, very educated individual.
Mir is a cool dude. He and Arlowski really ushered in a new era in the UFC heavyweight division where they had athleticism and some refined skills.
Yep! I agree. They paved the way for the new heavyweights.
As well as guys like Couture, Ricco Rodriguez and Josh Barnett, but only the last two were actual heavyweights. Couture was able to win that championship against people 60 pounds heavier than him because of how few of the heavyweights had top level skills then - just like Shamrock had done back in his prime. And Barnett had that issue with a drug test and took off for Japan, so he didn't have the great impact on UFC back then that Mir did.
Facts
You should interview Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas
Not so fast warrior man
No Charlie Haas and Rico. That tag team was hilarious.
Is he really smoking a cigar during the interview? 😂
@@shu9460 ......
@Godspeed Ever heard about palatal cancer? Yeah, cigars can do that, too.
Frank Mir has always been articulate, introspective and analytical. Personally, I would have loved to see him transition into a commentary role full-time years ago. He would have done remarkably well in the pro-wrestling industry.
He was great at commentary back when he called fights for WEC. One of the few guys who does it as well as Joe Rogan does it.
@@jaydav6521 Both Mir and Stephan Bonnar were naturals.
The Signature Spot with Chris Toplack WEC
No I hate Frank Mir retirement pls Frank Mir should fight more I want see his new kimura to Brock lesnar
mir with a cigar fits perfectly as a gears of war character
I always appreciate the interviews with people I'm personally not interested in (with all due respect whichever each guest) because I feel this podcast is able to humanize the person and show me the parts I would find relatable. Always a pleasure. Can't wait for more.
Thanks for watching and I appreciate the kind words, thanks Mark!
Love Frank he was my favorite heavyweight as a kid. & Chris nice shirt brotha!
So this guy, the same guy who made so much fun of wrestling before Brock whipped his ass, now all the sudden is going to try and make a career in wrestling? Hmmm...
He's also the same guy that mocked Lesnar or throwing iron around, then got his *ss handed to him, and showed up JACKED after that. Still didn't help him though.
Jester Boykins it’ll be the rubber match
1-1 🤷🏿♂️
Dude dont talk shit when u know nothing about mma... frank tapped brock out on his debut.... brock coundt even do anything againt mirs submission and heavy wrestling game... even if they says brock is a all american, but he is no more or never been one of the top wrestler
Worked himself into a shoot
@@UnknownGamer-mw4fw So what? They had a rematch and Brock raped him into the ground
Everyone wanted Lesnar vs. Mir III. Had it happened like 8-9 years, that shit would’ve made a ton of money.
True I see bellator doing it if they can afford Brock after he's done with wwe. A third match five years ago would have been huge. Man. Both had awesome classic wins. Brock just beating the shit out of Mir til he got caught was intense. Then Brock koing Mir yelling after was iconic too. To me a 3 way is better than most matches. Mir vs Cain vs Brock WWE title. Hell yeah.
16:13 i can listen to Frank all day
Great interviewer he listens and knows when to ask the right questions. Frank is a class act and a true Legend of the sport. He has so much personality, Brock has none. Fans of the WWE would eat it up. WWE would be better connection with a little more class than some of AEW.
Brock let’s his actions speak louder than words although his promos in the UFC were good
I remember Frank Mir controversially won the first fight with Lesnar, handily lost the second, and people completely wrote Mir off. Then Mir refocused on weightlifting, packed on an insane amount of muscle, and called Lesnar out for a third match. I actually wanted to see what a bigger Mir would have been able to do against Lesnar. Too bad it never happened.
Frank has a better chance as a slimmer fighter against Brock. You don't go strength for strength with Brock. Or he will make you look bad.
Controversially?? He almost broke his leg in that first fight
@@ZBOXINGTALK Watch the fight again and judge for yourself:
ruclips.net/video/dNCDiYRmMeM/видео.html
@@ZBOXINGTALK To me it was controversial because Lesnar was dominating the ground and pound, the blow to the back of Mir's head looked unintentional, and referee Steve Mazzagatti is universally thought of as the worst MMA ref ever.
Mir's finish was unquestionable, but Mazzagatti's handling of the situation was. If Lesnar had been verbally warned, but allowed to cotinue in ground and pound position, then Lesnar would likely have won the fight. Just my opinion. If you disagree, then so be it.
@@BrianTKessler mazzagati over mario 'if he dies, he dies' yamasaki is a tough call
God, Chris looks so tiny compared to Frank!
Frank is a beast!
That's the best part about Chris, he makes the people he's interviewing look great, while looking great himself.
@@sonofbelz wtf are you saying
@@ChrisVanVliet pls interview punk
Frank has a voice that's meant for interviews announcing and podcasts. He speaks clearly and is intelligent.
It's rude to turn down a Cuban. MIR vs CVV!
I totally with him about that WWE thing. As he said, as long as he is respectful to hardworking newcomers,he should do a match here and there. (And PLEASE keyfab knock Brock out!!) He seems like a pretty nice and charismatic guy should be fun to watch. And he should get the money he would have deserved of UFC! (...maaaybe a tiny tiny bit more 😉)
Dumbaas stfu
I didn’t know who this guy was, but this was a great interview.
Old-school MMA fan here. Been watching since UFC 7, the Brawl in Buffalo when I was 8 years old.
I respect Frank Mir greatly, and remember watching live when he armbarred Roberto Traven in a minute at UFC 34, one of the most memorable debuts in UFC history.
That being said, I could only listen to about 8 minutes of Frank's self-aggrandizing bullshit before I had to stop the interview.
Frank trying to explain away his last two losses was pathetic enough. Mir didn't lose to Fedor because he fought any differently than his previous 30-odd fights before then. He lost because his striking is worse and much slower, and while he scored an early knockdown since Fedor's chin is completely gone, it wasn't enough.
And his excuses for losing to Javy Ayala is even worse. It's not a "freak injury" when you get hit in the mouth and you suffer a mouth injury. Frank looked completely awful in that outing, with pathetic cardio, and was losing badly when he tapped out due to injury.
However, the part that caused ME to tap out was Mir claiming he had some kind of amazing genetics that allow him to be really quick into his 40s.
Mir was NEVER fast. Even in his mid-20s, before he idiotically shattered his femur and knee in a motorcycle accident, he was always rather lumbering, slow, and heavy. Nowadays, he looks like he is wading through mud.
Related to this, I laughed my ass off at Mir playing up his "Cuban" heritage.
Mir's father was BORN in Cuba, but his actual racial heritage is Moroccan and Russian. Mir doesn't look remotely Cuban in any way, either.
before i hear about him, i've always thought frank mir was in CKY or in some other metal band destroying it
Always interesting to hear real fighters making the transition into pro wrestling and them realising how challenging it is, it’s a real art form in itself. There is more to it than fake punches and that’s why a lot of us die hard wrestling fans love it as we know how much goes into not just a match but a whole show
Great Interview
Happy Holidays Chris. Would you consider interviewing NWA stars such as Aldis, Nick and James Storm, and Ricky Starks etc?
Interview with Vince Russo would be cool Chris 👍
You nailed it bud.
Iron sheik interview
That's something Vince would go for. Yeah. MORE mainstream "star power" to "destroy that pissant AEW!" 😑🤐

@Albert Twangle Ever since the Tank Abbott fight.
His agility for a big guy was so unreal and impressiv
Dude what big news for you! cant wait to see these interviews in front of a crowd, your style will do well as evidenced in your past interview with Colt Cabana. Frank has definitely shown me here that hes a stand up guy in that he respects the road paved in wrestlimg amd doesnt want to disrespect the art. Hes got some good ideas and isnt just big guy, he puts thought into things. Different side of the guy and i liked his perspective on Brock also, he didnt just see a pro wrestler, he saw a legit wrestler. kudos on yet ANOTHER great video!
And about 10 years ago Frank was making fun of Brock for being a pro wrestler. That was prior to Brock turning Brock's face into hamburger meat.
People can change their opinion, he obviously has humbled a bit.
speaking of.. you need to get joey ryan on more!
