Frank Mir Explains Why He Turned Down A Fight With Fabricio Werdum In Brazil

Former UFC heavyweight champ Frank Mir (16-5) turned down a fight with former Strikeforce fighter Fabricio Werdum for this summer’s June show in Brazil. As Mir explains it he felt he may not be so well received in the South American country, not because he’s fighting one of their own but for his win over Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira when he broke ‘Big Nog’s’ arm. Mir goes on to say he’s received enough colorful emails from Brazilians already.
