Frank Mir Accepts Todd Duffee's Challenge, Set To Fight This Summer

[jonJpatrick]

Earlier this afternoon Frank Mir appeared on Heidi Fang's radio show and confirmed that he spoke to Joe Silva last week and told him that he has accepted Todd Duffe's public challenge for a fight this summer. Duffee followed it up with an appearance on Ariel Helwani's MMA Hour this afternoon and discussed the fight and possible dates that it could go down.

Duffee by KO.

update. He didn't say it was set.

Mir accepts Duffee’s call out “If the UFC makes the fight, I’m all for it.”

As a co-host of The Fight Corner on Monday, Mir said he’d be willing to throwdown with the 29-year-old if the UFC books the matchup.

I love this match up. Even as a Duffee fan. This will answer a lot of questions.

I rarely pick Frank.
I'm picking Frank.


& I'm pretty sure I'll be wrong.

 

[Legendary]

Please Mir, go out with an arm or leg.

I think Mir will be too much for him. I was hoping for Mir vs Oliynyk, but it looks like the UFC wants to bury Oliynyk.

"He's stronger than me, sure. His arm is stronger than my arm. But is his arm stronger than my hips? Probably not."

 

[Fartler]

Well, either Frank gets destroyed or Frank finishes Duffee... I don't see this being a close fight. Either guy will get the retirement talk if they lose.

Duffee will get it because "he can't beat the top guys, and he's always inactive, so he should retire"

I think Mir will be too much for him. I was hoping for Mir vs Oliynyk, but it looks like the UFC wants to bury Oliynyk.

I think so as well......if Mir gets him to the ground it will pretty much be done with. Mir vs Oliynyk would have been a great fight and a terrific grappling match.....I think Oliynyk is under the radar.....he could do things at HW.

Mir by submission, Round 1.

Hopefully Duffee gets the KO but this might be too much for him at this point.

 

[K1HerosNakamura]

Great match up. Gotta love that Mir is still down to fight the young lions.

Relatively easy win for Mir.
