Frank Mir: I want to fight anderson

The former UFC HW champion Frank Mir he wants to fight current champion Anderson Silva MW free weight if the plan GSP fight Anderson fails.

Smith previously talked about moving to HW but recently talked about free weight fight with the head of the division WW GSP. But UFC president Dana White said yesterday that discarded that idea after the bizarre and disappointing main event of UFC112.

"I would love to fight Anderson Silva!" Mir told Fighters Only in a text message last night. "Even you would weigh 235 lbs. To make it more attractive to her manager and the commission. "

Silva has fought at LHW division twice and finished both fights via TKO. 235 lbs would be the highest weight in the fighting there but that weight is close to most of their LHW division steps.

If the UFC is interested or not Mir vs Silva match is not clear yet, but Anderson would have the work done for him if they did. Mir is a jiu jitsu fighter like Maia but its significant size advantage would a greater threat.
