First and foremost, this is NOT a gi/nogi argument. I didn't see the interview but, Frank shouldn't categorize his jiu-jitsu as lazy or gi orientated. He has been in the big league for a while now and my guess is that his game is less gi orientated now than it has ever been. When Mir first appeared on the scene, his appeal was that "he was a heavyweight that moved like a lightweight" It's not like he just stepped out of the Mundials and into the octagon. Mir is one of my favorites but it kinda sounds like excuses.
