Video: An in-depth look at the coaching behind UFC Fight Night 85 headliner Frank Mir

Frank Mir will tie former UFC light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz for most appearances in company history when he steps into the Octagon to face No. 9-ranked heavyweight contender Mark Hunt at UFC Fight Night 85 later this evening (Sat., March 19, 2016).

Mir, a former heavyweight titleholder, has been competing in mixed martial arts (MMA) for 15 years and in order to stay on top, he's entrusted coaching duties to none other than longtime friend Ricky Lundell.

Lundell, who's a renowned legend in the world of Brazilian jiu-jitsu and wrestling, helped train Mir for much of his UFC career.
