Frank Mir wants his retirement from combat sports to be a special moment. For Mir (19-13), that doesn’t mean making it all about him. He’s not looking for some big selfish moment. In fact, he wants to share the spotlight with his daughter, Bella Mir . Mir, a two-time UFC heavyweight champion who hasn’t competed in MMA since a unanimous decision win over Roy Nelson at Bellator 231 in October 2019, is looking to put a bow on his career in 2023

Triller debuted Triad Combat this past Saturday, and a handful of notable boxing and MMA fighters squared off under a hybrid ruleset. Among those who competed were former boxing champion Kubrat Pulev , former UFC champion Frank Mir , former UFC welterweight Mike Perry , former UFC welterweight Albert Tumenov , former Bellator featherweight Derek Campos , and former Bellator and UFC heavyweight contender Matt Mitrione , among others. Following the completion of their respective bouts, the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR), which regulated the event at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, handed out medical suspensions to all 14 competitors. Unlike some other commissioning bodies, the TDLR does not reveal the specific injuries or reasons the fighters have been suspended. While the majority of the card were given suspensions under one month, undercard fighter Angelina Hoffschneider is facing an indefinite layoff after a first-round knockout loss to Alexa Culp. Outside of the indefinite suspension, Mir, who lost via standing TKO to Pulev at 1:59 into Round 1, was handed a 30-day sanction
