In a recent interview Frank Mir regarding his upcoming fight with Antonio Rodrigo “Minotauro” Nogueira at UFC 92, Mir has stated that he looks to go the full 25 minutes of the fight. As we’ve seen in the past, Nogueira is a very hard man to finish. He has been knocked down numerous times in the UFC and come out of the fight a bloody mess, but managed to get a submission on his opponent to end the fight. Mir on the other hand is the man who holds the only victory over Brock Lesnar in the UFC, who recently defeated Randy Couture with an authorative knockout at UFC 91. When it comes to jiu jitsu, Nogueira has the obvious advantage due to his longer holding of his black belt and also has a black belt in Judo as well. If it does go to the ground, Mir will have to be able to stop Nogueira’s slow pressure game that he likes to play on top. This is going to be a sure test for Frank Mir and it is his chance to step up and take the interim heavyweight belt. Check out the rest of the UFC 92 Fight Card here and the UFC 92 Results here.
