Daniel Cormier says "If Frank Mir gets finished, it will be because he quit"

“Frank's being Frank. There are select few people in this world that can be in a situation that’s supposed to humble you and it just doesn’t happen. I think that’s happened time and time again with Frank. He’s talked about Brock Lesnar and he got beat up by Brock, and he still talks bad about Brock. Case one, Frank should have been humbled by the beating Brock put on him, but it didn’t work.”

“Case two, talked about Shane Carwin and Shane Carwin finished him, still didn’t humble him. Talked about Junior Dos Santos after Junior Dos Santos beat him up. So there are a select few people in this world that when you’re in a situation that’s supposed to humble you, it doesn’t necessarily work out that way. Frank Mir’s one of those guys.”

“To the point of me not being a guy that can finish fights, I’m going to tell you right now and this is 100 percent true—Frank Mir says I can’t finish fights? Okay that’s fine. My intention in this fight is not to finish Frank Mir. I’m going to beat up on Frank Mir for 15 minutes and I’m going to make him stay in that cage with me. If Frank Mir gets finished, it will be because he quit.”

"We've all seen some of his fights where we're like, 'what exactly happened there?' Know that in this one, if he gets finished it will be because he quits. I'm going to make him check out of that fight, I'm not going to do it for him. I'm not going to do it for him. When he wants out of the fight, he'll get out of the fight."

"I'm not going to go in there and put myself at risk because Frank Mir is talking trash about me or because Frank Mir doesn't really respect me. At the end of all if it, it's easy to see what Frank said and the only thing I take away from it is that he honestly just doesn't think I'm very good and doesn't respect my skills or many of the things I've accomplished in my life. That's the biggest mistake anyone could make in a competitive situation."
