[edit] What is his birthday?

Two different birthdays are quoted, 24 june 1979 and 25 May 1979, and one of the pages linked (sherdog profile) lists his birday as 1980...

On the Nevada State Athletic Commison's website, it lists his birthday as May 24, 1979. I changed it to this. (MgTurtle 15:56, 20 March 2007 (UTC)).

[edit] Height & Weight

During his Heavywieght Title match he was list as 6'3 253 lb. Wiki lists him as 6'1 240. I suggest his wieght be corrected. If the source for his size was tooken from UFC.com it's invalid because their stats HT & WT are often incorrect —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.155.40.77 (talk) 22:01, 21 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Early training

"Born into a martial arts family, a young Mir learned the basics of combat from his parent's Kenpo Karate school in Las Vegas, after being bullied at school for being overweight. He was sparring in tournaments at 5 years old and would go on to accumulate a collection of trophies."

This needs editing. How on earth did he get bullied at "school" for being overweight and then spar in tournaments, all by age five? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.235.39.100 (talk) 01:58, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
