    I'm coming for you man. My style is impetuous. My defense is impregnable, and I'm just ferocious. I want your heart. I want to eat his children. Praise be to Allah!"

    good gawd give it a rest Frank, you got your ass handed to you after you talked a lot of smack prior to the fight. Take you beating like a man.

    I hate Brock and Mir is one of my favorite fighters but this comment makes it really hard to root for Frank.

    Seems like the guy is going off the deep end.

    I don't think a suspension is in order here, so many fighters say they want to go out there and "kill" their opponent or "fight to the death" I doubt many actually mean it.

    I disagree. Saying he wants Brock to be the first guy to die in the octagon goes beyond a generic "I'll kill da bum!" kind of rant.

    Does this numbnuts have any clue what that would do to the sport that pays his bills?

    I'm inclined to agree that discipline is in order, though a fine might be better than a suspension considering he's booked to fight in a few weeks.

    Though I suppose Cain could jump in and take his place...

    He's just hyping the fight IMO. Mir's a television guy and knows this is a huge opportunity for exposure. You think he'd actually choke Lesnar to death?

    Coming from his WWE background I'm sure Lesnar is amused by these antics.

    Bloody Elbow has (quite rightly) reminded us that BJ Penn said more or less the same thing in the build up to the second GSP fight ("I'm going to try and kill you and I'm not joking about this").

    Anyway, Dana White is disappointed but don't expect discipline to be forthcoming:
