Former UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir was in the boxing ring against ex-IBF champ Steve Cunningham. But he kept seeing MMA setups as they exchanged punches on Saturday at Triller Fight Club.
“I’m having the hardest thing converting,” Mir told reporters after his decision loss to Cunningham. “MMA, if we move our head, the feet are there. ... Many times when Steve was slipping, you probably could see me looking down at his leg going, ‘Ah, there’s a sweep. There’s a chop.’ And I can’t throw it, so that also made it kind of difficult.
