    Frank Mir is my all time fav MMA submission artists. The way we train; it gets into our head to give the guy time to tap. Unfortunately, some MMA opponents take advantage of the small space to escape. Frank, without being malicious, always put the sub on with full intent to finish.... or let go if there was a tap.
