Talk:Frank Mir

message: Two different birthdays are quoted, 24 june 1979 and 25 May 1979, and one of the pages linked (sherdog profile) lists his birday as 1980...
On the Nevada State Athletic Commison's website, it lists his birthday as May 24, 1979. I changed it to this. (MgTurtle 15:56, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: What is his birthday?

message: During his Heavywieght Title match he was list as 6'3 253 lb. Wiki lists him as 6'1 240. I suggest his wieght be corrected. If the source for his size was tooken from UFC.com it's invalid because their stats HT & WT are often incorrect —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.155.40.77 (talk) 22:01, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If he's 6'3" then how come at UFC 100, when he touches gloves with Lesnar before their fight, he is clearly shorter?  6'1" seems more likely.  70.50.55.197 (talk) 22:11, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Height & Weight

message: "Born into a martial arts family, a young Mir learned the basics of combat from his parent's Kenpo Karate school in Las Vegas, after being bullied at school for being overweight. He was sparring in tournaments at 5 years old and would go on to accumulate a collection of trophies."
This needs editing. How on earth did he get bullied at "school" for being overweight and then spar in tournaments, all by age five?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.235.39.100 (talk) 01:58, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Early training 

message: I don't really know what the protocol for these talk pages is, but I just noticed the article claimed he received several strikes to the back of the head when he clearly only received one. Just thought I'd throw that out there.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.233.90.30 (talk) 23:29, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lesnar Fight 

message: The article mentions his karate and wrestling backgrounds, as well as a stubbornness to learn jiu jitsu, then jumps ahead into his MMA career, without even mentioning how he learned and eventually got his black belt in jiu jitsu.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.168.138.250 (talk) 08:36, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  BJJ Training??? 

message: I rewrote the family section.  If Mir adopted Marcus, then he and Jennifer have three children with one on the way to make it four.  Adoption is legally the same as if one is the blood parent.  There is a note that Marcus has a different biological father so all info is there and now accurate.--2008Olympianchitchat 16:45, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Personal Life

message: Can anybody provide a citation to a yearbook featuring him. Mine seems to not have him.Coffee4binky (talk) 17:03, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Went to Bonanza HS? 

message: I have noticed that some people are trying to vandalise Frank Mirs page after the recent loss to Brock Lesnar. I hope this article can become semi-protected.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.248.110.140 (talk) 04:40, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lesnar VS Mir 2 fight 

message: Wiki currentlyhas the guy listed at 6'3", but he's more often listed at 6'1".  I think we need to be more vigilant about inflated stats and measurements.  Someone needs to set his height back to what it really is, and we need to start doing this with more athletes instead of letting them get away with exaggerating their measurements. --Criticalthinker (talk) 00:19, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Frank gives himself only 6'1" on his own damned website!  Come one. --Criticalthinker (talk) 03:15, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Height

message: In the UFC undisputed 2009 game is frank mir listed as a muay thai and BJJ fighter.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.248.110.140 (talk) 12:46, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Figthing Style 

message: Please review wiki polices on editing. In other words don't just drive by, change something, not summarize, and not discuss.--0pen$0urce (talk) 14:08, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Editing Policies, summaries, and Undoing

message: excessive vandalism
:A couple of vandal edits on a single day is not enough to warrant page protection. Once it has increased to 8-10 vandal edits, request for page protection at WP:RFPP. BejinhanTalk  06:33, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Edit Request 

message: I think it is worth mentioning somewhere in the lead section if it can be appropriately cited, as someone appears to have tagged this article under American people of Russian, Cuban & Moroccan descent, despite not bothering to reference these claims or introduce them anywhere within the relevant sections.
There's also next to no reliable sources on his ethnicity via the Internet.

thread_title: File:Frank-Mir.jpg Nominated for Deletion

message: I'm fairly certain the Grand Prix championship isn't on the line in Mir's fight with Cormier, it's just the Strikeforce Heavyweight Championship, which Cormier was awarded due to his Grand Prix victory. He's listed here: http://www.strikeforce.com/fighter as their Heavyweight Champion and Frank mentioned on the MMA hour I think that it was set to be a fight for the Heavyweight Title. I'm gonna edit the article to reflect this, I'll link it to the Strikeforce Champions page. If anybody has a problem with this, please mention it here so it can be discussed. I'm fairly certain this is the case, and even if it weren't the Grand Prix championship can't be defended as it's a one time thing so that would be inaccurate in of itself.
