ATLANTA – Frank Mir hasn’t turned his back on MMA now that he’s set to enter his first professional boxing match. Mir, a former UFC champion, is set to make his in-ring debut Saturday when he meets Steve Cunningham under the Triller Fight Club banner. The heavyweight fight airs on pay-per-view at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Depending on how the fight goes, Mir’s venture into traditional boxing could be one and done. He is signed to Bare Knuckle FC and said he will compete in that organization likely this year, but afterward still has designs on fighting MMA. The motivation is Mir’s daughter, Bella Mir , who’s gotten off to a strong start to her own MMA career, and it’s her father’s wish to eventually fight alongside her.
