By Tom Taylor - April 5, 2019

Last night, amid the festivities of WrestleMania Week, Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport returned with a second, thrilling show. This pro wrestling show featured a host of UFC veterans including Barnett himself, Dan Severn, and Frank Mir, who was making his pro wrestling debut.

Brock Lesnar, Frank Mir

Mir won his pro wrestling debut, submitting Severn with a heel hook. In his post-victory speech, he issued a callout of fellow UFC veteran Brock Lesnar, whose first claim to fame is as a WWE star.

In this speech, Frank Mir referenced an infamous comment he made previously, in which he expressed his desire to kill Brock Lesnar in the Octagon.

See it below:

“Yes, I’m getting into this so I can face Brock,” Mir told the crowd in Jersey City, New Jersey (transcript via MMA Mania). “I couldn’t make him the first Octagon-related death, but maybe I can make him the first one in the ring.”

Frank Mir and Brock Lesnar fought twice in the UFC’s Octagon. Mir won their first encounter, tapping the former wrestler with a first-round knee bar. The pair rematched at the landmark UFC 100 pay-per-view, and things went much worse for Mir. This time around, Lesnar smashed his foe into strawberry jam, winning by second-round TKO.
