Whenever an athlete (particularly a combat sports athlete) suffers a major injury and takes a long time (1 year or more) before returning to competition. Made famous by Frank Mir who shattered his femur shortly after winning the UFC Heavyweight Championship.
After tearing his ACL in October 2008, Patrick Cote had a nice Mir Layoff before coming back against Alan Belcher in May 2010.
