Frank Mir eyes return to the broadcast booth, reflects on Jose Aldo's WEC debut

Pull up any early WEC event on UFC Fight Pass and it's likely you'll hear a familiar voice in the broadcast booth. That's because up until mid-2010, the distinctive timbre of two-time UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir was synonymous with the WEC's blue cage and gloves.

Mir served as the WEC's full-time color commentator throughout the majority of the promotion's lifespan, soundtracking the rise of lighter weight greats like Urijah Faber and Dominick Cruz with heaps of analysis and in-cage experience, often to great acclaim. Mir ultimately relinquished his post following WEC 46, but now that he's had some time away, the 36-year-old is once again looking for an opportunity to pick up where he left off.
