Frank Mir Training w/ Mark Philippi
It appears now that after Frank Mir’s loss to Brock Lesnar he has realized that to compete at the highest level of the UFC Heavyweight division he can no longer ignore the advantage that strength can have when two highly skilled athletes compete.
Mark Philippi has been training Mir heavy in the gym. Having put on 25lbs Mir now has a much better chance of defeating the behemoth that is Brock Lesnar. Mark Philippi, Mir’s trainer, is a former leading strongman competitor, multiple entrant to the World’s Strongest Man competition, and former holder of the America’s Strongest Man title. It is apparent Mir now sees the importance of strength when you are competing with the best of the best.
