‘Solid Acting!’- Chael Sonnen Trolls Frank Mir for His Dismal First Round TKO Loss
Follow Us
Frank Mir made his return to fighting at Triad Combat. The former UFC heavyweight champion took on Bulgarian Kubrat Pulev in the main event.
Mir had his last fight in the UFC in 2019 and made his professional boxing debut in 2021 against Steve Cunningham. He lost the fight via a unanimous decision. Meanwhile, Pulev is a boxing veteran, with a 29-2 record. His only losses came at the hands of Anthony Joshua and Wladimir Klitschko.
Many believed with clinch allowed, Mir will be able to give a tough challenge to the boxer. However, the fight proved to be a one-sided affair. After landing some big shots early, Pulev hit Mir with a left hook, which staggered him, and followed that with another strike. The big bombs left him knockout out while on his feet. Referee Dan Miragliotta had to step in to stop the fight.

Triad Combat saw other MMA fighters taking on boxers as well, and overall, it was a great night for the MMA fighters. Another former popular UFC fighter, Mike Perry, was also on the card.
