After passing his own difficult test in the boxing world, Frank Mir wouldn’t be shocked to see Jorge Masvidal become the new UFC welterweight champion this weekend.
Mir competed in his first pro boxing bout against former, two-time world champion Steve Cunningham on the main card of this past Saturday’s Triller Fight Club event and went the distance, losing a unanimous decision in the six-round heavyweight matchup.
Having tasted UFC gold in his past, along with having one of the keen analytical minds in the sport, Mir is certainly interested in Saturday night’s UFC 261 event, which will feature three title fights headlined by the rematch between Masvidal and reigning welterweight champion Kamaru Usman.
