About Frank Mir

Frank Mir is a heavyweight mixed martial artist, born in Las Vegas, United States on May 24, 1979. Mir stands 6' 3" with a 79" reach, long for that height, and fights out of a southpaw stance.

Mir has fought professionally since 2001, debuting with HOOKnSHOOT. A 2-0 record outside the UFC came first. Mir first fought in the UFC at UFC 34: High Voltage in November 2001 and beat Roberto Traven by armbar after drop to ground. Across 27 fights in the UFC, Mir is 16-11. Mir first won a UFC title fight at UFC 48: Payback, beating Tim Sylvia, and has won 2 title fights in total.

A submission specialist, Mir has 8 UFC submission wins, most often by kimura. Statistically, Mir attempts more submissions than 98% of heavyweights and lands more takedowns per 15 minutes than 80% of heavyweights. Notable wins include Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, Brock Lesnar and Tim Sylvia, all UFC title-fight winners. Mir ranks #1 in UFC history for most kimura wins.

10 of Mir's 13 UFC finishes came in the first round. In UFC title fights, Mir is 2-3. Mir has fought Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira twice in the UFC (won, won). After 20 months away, Mir returned at UFC 57: Liddell vs Couture 3 in February 2006 and lost to Marcio Cruz.
