It's been a year since Frank Mir last fought in the UFC. Then he lost to Alistair Overeem. Does it make a sense to come back to the octagon after four straight loses?
Frank was the UFC champion twice. First time he submitted Tim Sylvia to win belt at 2004. It wasn't a good fight for Tim because he didn't tap fast enough and he Frank broke hist arm. Despite this win Frank wasn't able to defend the heavyweight crown. It's beacuse of his motorcycle accident which happened few months after winning the belt. It was a serious injury, Frank broke his femur in two places and he hasn't been able to fight for two years. He came back at February 4, 2006 but he lost fight by first round TKO. The man who won that fight was called Marcio Cruz but he wasn't a huge name in MMA. His record was 2-2. Later on Frank made his way to the second title shot. This one was against Minotauro Nogueira and Frank won this fight by second round TKO. His first title defence was against Brock Lesnar. Former WWE star won that fight by TKO and he made a revenge for his UFC debut when he lost to Frank.
After loss to Lesnar it's been a downhill for Mir. Although we was able to win three fights in a row he couldn't win to Shane Carwin and Junior dos Santos in his later title shots. Junior dos Santos fight started four fight loss streak for Mir. Then he also lost to Daniel Cormier, Josh Barnett and Alistair Overeem and that's the point we're right now. After one year break he comes to fight Antonio Silva later this month. We know that Frank often had a problem with good strikers and I think that Brazilian will likely win it by KO or TKO. I wish Frank the best and it is possible for him to win this fight. Esspecially that Silva didn't win any of his last three fights. But to be real, Frank isn't a favorite. Mir is a intelligent, emotional man and doesn't matter if he win or lose I hope he'll have a happy life.
Thank you for reading. I hope you enjoy it. See you then. :)
