MMA legend Frank Mir had shared details about an incident – a street fight – he found himself some time ago…
During which he broke the other person’s arm.
Mir emphasized that “real life” fights operate under much different rules than it is the case with mixed martial arts.
For example, in the above-mentioned street fight, he had a guy tap out while he had him in a submission hold – but after he released him, the guy continued with his attacks.
All of this had been a good lesson to Mir, it appears, because it taught him something valuable:
I’ve had situations where I grab people and put them down and they go: “okay, stop, I’m done.”
I go: “Really, are you? If I let you up and you do something, I won’t let you up the second time.”Actually, I’ve had a guy tap on me before I broke his arm.
You know, he’s tapping as I’m breaking his arm – like, so what?Dude, you just had me on the bottom. He was just stomping on me.
Do you think now I’m gonna let him go? No, you screwed up.
