Frank Mir says he’s now officially a free agent. The former UFC heavyweight champion still had one fight remaining on his Bellator contract when it expired on April 1 but, due to the current global landscape with the COVID-19 pandemic, neither Bellator nor Mir (19-13 MMA, 1-2 BMMA) can fulfill their obligations to the other with regard to that final fight. But, rather than the situation pitting Mir and Bellator at loggerheads, the two parties have come together to discuss the situation and have found a solution. Speaking on his “Phone Booth Fighting” podcast , Mir told co-host Richard Hunter that he had come to an agreement with Bellator president Scott Coker over his contractual release, though he will still honor the last fight on his deal. “Basically I had a good conversation with Scott Coker,” he said.
