Frank Mir recently stated that he wants to break Lesnar's neck, and wanted Lesnar to be the first one to die due to Octagon-related injuries. Mir stated that he feels as though people don't often speak their minds and are more interested in masking their real emotions in order to be politically correct. He says his hatred for Lesnar is genuine and that he doesn't care for him as a fighter or a human being. After his statement, Mir was quickly pulled back into line by the UFC and appearead to reluctantly make an apology to Lesnar and his family. Mir may get his chance to avenge his loss to Lesnar, but first he will have to defeat Shane Carwin for the interim Heavyweight Championship at UFC 111 on March 27th.
