Filed under: Featured Videos , News , UFC , Videos BRISBANE, Australia – For ex-UFC heavyweight champ Frank Mir , it’s not a matter of if, but when, he gets the fight to the ground against Mark Hunt on Saturday at UFC Fight Night 85. Mir owns the second-best submission record in the UFC, falling just one behind Nate Diaz’s nine career subs in the octagon, while five of six Hunt wins have come by knockout. That says a lot about how the fight should go down. But the difference in their skills isn’t just a statistic, Mir said. It’s about where they train. “I look to make sure that I really force the grappling early on because I feel that down in Australia, you have lots of good kickboxers,” he said ahead of the FOX Sports 1-televised bout at Brisbane Entertainment Centre in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
