Frank Mir issues apology after Brock Lesnar death comments

Frank Mir today issued an apology following an interview in which he said he wanted rival and UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar to be “the first person that dies due to octagon-related injuries.”

The comments, which were made over the weekend to WXDX-FM, caused quick condemnation from an industry still trying to win mainstream acceptance.

In today’s UFC.com release, UFC president Dana White stated he is “disappointed” by Mir’s comments and that “he won’t be saying anything like that again.”
