One of the most controversial fights of the year 2003 was played between Frank Mir and Wes Sims. Frank Mir was the contender for heavyweight championship at Ultimate Fighting Championship. It was a violent fight; Wes Sims beat Mir on his back and on head many times. The fight had to be ultimately stopped and resulted in disqualification of Wes Sims.
The 2004 match between the two of them was said to be a revenge match where Mir emerged victorious. 'The Project' lost to Mike Kyle in the very first round itself. However, Wes Sims complained of him biting him on the chest.
He considers his triangle chokes and Muay Thai knees as his biggest strength. His signature submissions and strikes indicate his fierce fighting nature.
