Frank Mir Wants Fedor Emelianenko Fight, Dana White Coy over UFC Rumours

Frank Mir says it would be a "huge honour" to face legendary MMA heavyweight Fedor Emelianenko in the Octagon.

Mir spoke to Fox Sports after he knocked out Todd Duffee in 73 seconds during Wednesday night's UFC Fight Night 71. He remains a massive fan of Fedor, and having worked his way through former PRIDE opponents, such as Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Mirko Cro Cop, he would love a shot at the Russian who hasn't fought since 2012.

"An opportunity to face him would be a huge honor," Mir said, as reported by Damon Martin of Fox Sports.
