#4 Frank Mir
Frank Mir’s life has been nothing short of a tumultuous roller-coaster ride. An American Kempo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu proponent, Frank Mir burst onto the scene, kicking off his career with back-to-back victories. He captured the UFC Heavyweight Championship from Tim Sylvia at UFC 48 after snapping his arm in an armbar submission, right in the very first round!
That’s when Frank’s honeymoon phase faced an untimely “curtain call”. Mir was involved in a freak motorcycle accident which brought upon a lot of physical damage. Mir was forced to pull out of the UFC after breaking his femur in two places and tearing all the ligaments in his knee.
He was stripped of his title for the same reason and spent two years away from the octagon. After his brief (though uncalled for) hiatus, Mir returned to the UFC to fight the Brazilian, Marcio Cruz.
The return fight didn’t go too well for a visible shaky Mir, who was knocked out in the very first round of the competition. However, his subsequent bouts included two first-round victories against Antoni Hardonk and Brock Lesnar and he was able to pick up where he left off from!
