Within the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s thin heavyweight division, fighters are never more than a win or two away from opportunities of serious significance. That is the situation in which Frank Mir and Todd Duffee find themselves.
Mir tipped the scales at 262 pounds ahead of his five-round battle with Duffee (241) in the UFC Fight Night “Mir vs. Duffee” main event on Wednesday at the Valley View Casino Center in San Diego. Lightweight co-headliners Tony Ferguson (156) and Josh Thomson (155.5) also hit their contracted weight requirements without issue at Tuesday’s official weigh-in.
