Returning to the octagon with a career comeback Frank Mir dominated the fight against Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira. It was Mir's UFC return following his motorcycle accident in 2004 in which he broke his leg which kept him from fighting taking away his former UFC title belt. Frank Mir has done it, his win against Nogueira makes him the only fighter to defeat and beat the Pride Heavyweight Champion. The fight was full of action with Mir connecting with a solid uppercut. It was all Mir dropping Nogueira to the mat with a clean left punch right before round 1 ended. In the second round Nogueira came out aggresive, but Mir soon connected two left punches to Nogueira jaw sending him to the mat, where he unloaded until the fight was stopped at 1:54 into round two. This UFC win for Mir brings his record to 12-3 and drops Nogueira to 31-5-1. Looks like Frank Mir will face the UFC heavyweight Champion Brock Lesner in 2009.
