The cross-pollination between pro wrestling and MMA, with many from each world moving to the other, will continue as former two-time UFC heavyweight champion and current Bellator fighter Frank Mir will make the move to pro wrestling in April.
Mir, 39, was announced on Friday as debuting for Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport, a unique version of pro wrestling, for a show that takes place on April 4 in Jersey City, N.J. at White Eagle Hall.
The date is part of the biggest pro wrestling week of the year, as companies from around the world will be holding events in New York and New Jersey in the days prior to WrestleMania on April 7 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.
