Frank Mir reveals he’s now a free agent, open to returning to UFC as color commentator

Former UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir is once again a free agent.

The 40-year-old veteran, who has competed in Bellator MMA since 2018, revealed that the terms of his contract with the Viacom-owned promotion came to an end on April 1. Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Bellator has obviously been unable to get Mir a fight.

That said, Mir spoke to Bellator president Scott Coker about the unique situation and how he’d like to give the promotion one more fight while still looking into other options.

“Basically I had a good conversation with Scott Coker,” Mir said on his Phone Booth Fighting podcast.
