Not close friends but as former UFC champ Frank Mir says “We’re cool with each other is the expression I would use. We have always gotten along. I like his outlook on things.”
Mir is set to meet former IFL champ, and season 10 “TUF” winner, Roy “Big Country” Nelson on May 28 in Las Vegas at UFC 130.
One of Mir’s coaches didn’t like the friendliness between the two.
“He thought it was appropriate that we didn’t see each other in the gym,” Mir explained. “He didn’t want to give the wrong impression to everybody that these guys are way too buddy-buddy leading up to the fight, so we had to be at opposite times. I had seniority, so I had first pick.”
