It’s been a few months since the last time we heard Frank Mir talking about a career in politics, but judging by a story in the Las Vegas Review-Journal on Tuesday, his enthusiasm for the idea hasn’t waned since then.
Mir, who described his political bent as “extremely liberal” when he mentioned a potential run for office to MMA Fighting’s Mike Chiappetta back in March, said he’s still considering a career in politics once his fighting days are over, if only because he wants to get off the sidelines and into the game.
“Politics affects everybody’s daily life,” Mir said. “I never want to be one of those guys that bellyaches in a bar about the president or Congress and at the end of the day you never vote or talk about what’s going on or do anything as far as having any kind of influence.”
