10 Best Trash-Talkers In UFC History

9. Frank Mir

It takes a brave, brave man to mock Brock Lesnar, but that's exactly what Frank Mir did.

Mir was famed for his trash-talking ways long before he met Lesnar at UFC 81, of course. Literally, the MMA icon's career had been built around talking trash and then backing it up.

The verbal attacks on Lesnar were particularly juicy, though - even by Mir's standards. Famously, the former UFC Heavyweight Champion stirred things up by saying how he wanted to break Brock's neck and how he wanted the WWE star to be the first person to die in the Octagon.

That's just a sample of how much sh*t Mir has loved to talk during his career, with him backing up those words with wins over major names like Lesnar, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, Mirko Cro Cop, Tank Abbott, and Roy Nelson.
