Frank Mir: Phillipe Nover and Efrain Escudero Are Great Examples of Martial Artists

Frank Mir, the UFC heavyweight who coached on this season of The Ultimate Fighter, says he thought one of this season's competitors, Junie Browning, was such a poor example that he wouldn't let his children watch the show.

But Mir thinks highly of most of the rest of the young fighters he coached, including the two lightweights who will fight in Saturday night's finale, Efrain Escudero and Phillipe Nover.

When I talked to Mir this week, he told me he thinks Escudero and Nover are good young men with great futures ahead of them in MMA. And he said their fight is going to be a good match-up -- and a tough one to predict.

"I don't know who's going to win," Mir said.
