    Default Frank Mir's wiki: stoppage by Freeman was controversial

    The call is considered controversial by some fans (including Mir himself) because of the fact that he was never officially finished by Freeman and the fight only stopped due to difficulty standing up, which has been suggested was a smart, but bad call by the referee since that loss
    who wrote this? Freeman never finished him? The fight was only* stopped because Frank had been bashed and couldn't stand up?

    that finish was in no way controversial lol Whichever mir fan wrote this is a complete revisionist.

    Mir getting destroyed by Freeman was the best possible thing that could have happened to Mir.

    Mir was one cocky fuck before Freeman wailed on him. Once he got beat, he mellowed out and started training with new vigor. Helped his career 10-fold.

    Lol one of the most brutal pastings i have ever seen. the only thing controversial about the stoppage was that the ref gave Mir an opportunity to continue!

    yeah! haha once spoke to Ian about this and he said he couldn't believe how long Mir was given to turn it around.
