Frank Mir is working with MMA trainer-du-jour Marc Dellagrotte ahead of his challenge for the heavyweight title held by Brock Lesnar. And Forrest Griffin is also consulting the Boston-based trainer, who has recently move towards a Las Vegas expansion.

Dellagrotte is known for his knowledge of Muay Thai kickboxing and skill in adapting to the requirements of mixed martial arts, suggesting that Mir anticipates a standing fight with Lesnar, who he submitted in their first fight last year.

I think this is great news! I'm not sure how helpful Mark will be to Griffin against Silva, but if there's anybody that is used to cornering people against Silva - it's Dellagrotte 4-SURE!!!

IMO Mir should just keep up what he was doing when he prepared for Nog.
He was totally on point like I've never seen. Couldn't hurt though I guess
