Former undisputed UFC heavyweight champions, Frank Mir and Brazilian veteran, Fabricio Werdum are set to make their respective GFL (Global Fight League) debuts later this year against each other — with the former booking his first mixed martial arts clash since his 2019 retirement.
Mir, a former undisputed heavyweight champion under the umbrella of the UFC, made his most recent combat sport scouting against another Octagon veteran at Bellator 231, snapping a four-fight losing skid in a unanimous decision success over Roy Nelson.
As for fellow ex-heavyweight gold holder, Werdum, the Brazilian veteran favorite has been sidelined from combat sports since rematching against former titleholder, compatriot, Junior dos Santos under the Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA promotion in 2023, dropping a split decision loss.
