It's fairly safe to assume that former UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir has never fought anybody as strong as Brock Lesnar. He's probably never trained with someone of that ilk either.
Mir has also never found himself in this situation: If he wins, it's no big deal, and if he loses, he could be letting down the entire MMA universe.
Without question, the Brazilian jiu-jitsu practitioner is marred in a precarious position whether he wants to admit it or not.
