Frank Mir is an American mixed martial artist. He competed in the heavyweight divsion of Bellator MMA.
The word Mir means peace in Russian. He stated in an article, “My name is Mir and my father came from Cuba and my ancestors from Morocco.” It is not clear if this Moroccan ancestry has been verified/documented.
Frank began training MMA as a child, learning Kenpo karate and wrestling, and moving on to BJJ and boxing. He is said to have earned his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt in only five years.
Frank is married to Jennifer, with whom he has four children. His daughter, Isabella “Bella Mir” Miranda, is also a professional mixed martial artist.
Frank’s paternal grandfather likely was Francisco Santos Mir Ortega (the son of Luis Mir and Estrella Ortega).
Frank’s paternal grandmother likely was Mendalia/Migdalia Arango Llanes (the daughter of Roberto Cesar Arango and Dulce Maria Llanes Garcia).
” 100% in reality he is Amazigh dad side, and white american mom side. amazighs were white slaves captured by muslims sometimes in the sea. ” —> WRONG ! You can not say Amazighs (which mean: free people/men) were only white slaves captured by muslims, because first Amazighs existed before the creation of Islam and before that arabs from Arabian Peninsula invade Norh Africa and Morocco more precisely. Second, there were pobably Amazighs who were captured and then become slaves, as there were slaves who were from Black Africa, or who were Slavs, Arabian, or from Gaul, etc…
” most Amazighs are not pure white anymore so he could have some black in him. those are just his nationalities. plus he is atheist.” —> For you white = European, the whiteness is not the monopoly of Europeans, as blackness is not the monopoly of Black Africans, and Moroccans never claimed to be Europeans, we are Africans and we are proud of it ! There are a lot of white Moroccans but this not means that we are Europeans, you know a lot of people (and more in USA and north america globaly) think that Africa is a continent where people are all black, this is wrong ! Morocco is a country where you can find a people as white as Europeans (without to have some European blood) and people as black as Black Africans (who share some Black African blood) ( as you have tanned Moroccans who don’t share Black African blood) , you have all kind of shades, that goes of the white to the black and this is beautiful ! white moroccans, tanned moroccans, black moroccans, we are all the same, we are all brothers.
From a Moroccan who his ancestors are from the rif mountains of Morocco.
100% in reality he is Amazigh dad side, and white american mom side. amazighs were white slaves captured by muslims sometimes in the sea. Barbary states and Ottomans did this and even exchanged slaves. so it is plausible he (dad lineage) is a Russian. most Amazighs are not pure white anymore so he could have some black in him. those are just his nationalities. plus he is atheist.
Amazigh people are Berbers. Berbers are indigenous to North Africa. Berbers originated in North Africa but most have substantial Eurasia ancestry (Turks, Lebanese, Arab, European) from slavery and at least 1/8th so called Sub Saharan African. There is also a huge amount of Jewish ancestry as well.
The last name miranda is a Spanish Suriname of Latin origin so that makes it italian as well and the last name Miranda means worthy of admiration in Latin
