Frank Mir ‘trying to get out’ of UFC contract to fight in K-1 and Chechnya

The last time Frank Mir stepped inside the Octagon was last March. It was quite a forgettable night for him, as he was knocked out in the first round by fellow veteran Mark Hunt.

Now 37 years old, Mir is at a stage in his career where he will only be matched up against younger and more dangerous opponents. And with a good number of fighters showing their intent to leave the UFC, the former heavyweight champion is apparently looking to follow suit.

While in Russia over the weekend for ACB 48 commentary duty, Mir spoke to local outlet Cageside.
