Frank Mir explains announced foray into pro wrestling
Esther Lin, MMA FightingRonda Rousey will more than likely be one of the featured attractions at WrestleMania 35 in April. Three days earlier and about 11 miles away from MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, another former UFC champion will be performing at a professional wrestling event.
It was announced earlier this month that Frank Mir would be making his pro-wrestling debut at Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport event April 4 in Jersey City, N.J. The card, put together by Mir’s fellow former UFC heavyweight champion Barnett and promoted by Game Changer Wrestling, is focused on shoot-style wrestling that looks a whole lot like a real fight, though still pre-determined.
