Frank Mir: ‘Heavyweights suck,’ it’s like ‘watching polar bears fighting over some food’

Frank Mir’s fighting career has been on the decline over the past few years. The former UFC heavyweight champion is currently on a four-fight losing streak, losing to the likes of Mark Hunt, Andrei Arlovski, and Fedor Emelianenko.

The 40-year-old MMA veteran recognizes his downhill path, but he’s not too worried about it. His reasoning? The level of competition he’s currently seeing at heavyweight isn’t that impressive to him.

“I’m lucky that I’ve established myself so much in the sport that if Bellator wanted to cut me tomorrow, I’d sign with a new league on Monday,” he told MMA Junkie on Wednesday’s pre-fight media day.
