The former two-time UFC heavyweight champion, Frank Mir, created a legacy in the world of mixed martial arts. His daughter, Isabella Mir, might be the one to carry the legacy forward. Nicknamed the ‘Lady’ and with three wins under her belt, she went ahead and became the first Name, Image, Likeness (NIL) ambassador for the UFC. 

In a recent appearance on heavyweight Q&A with guest fighters, the 43-year-old was questioned about his daughter’s future in the biggest MMA promotion. Without a second’s delay, the legendary submission artist declared that she would be a champion someday. He announced that ‘Lady’ would sit on the stage and tell stories as a champion. Furthermore, he revealed that she was a commendable fighter and warriors in her weight category need to be wary of her. 

Frank Mir has high hopes for his daughter

Prior to the fights at UFC 285, the legendary heavyweights, namely Daniel Cormier, Stipe Miocic, Curtis Blaydes, and Mir, got onto the stage and interacted with the fans. One of the fans asked Mir about his thoughts on his daughter’s future in the UFC after signing the first NIL deal.

Doubtlessly, Mir’s eyes shone with pride; he declared that one day in the future, Isabella Mir would become a champion. He said, “She’ll be up here, former champion, talking stories.” Mir admitted that he had one of the greatest mindsets in the world of mixed martial arts. “I mean, arguably, I think I have one of the greatest mindsets when it comes to MMA and understanding it, and articulating what’s going on”, he said.
