Daniel Cormier will make his UFC debut this Saturday on FOX, and he will step right in to the deep end of the pool against former UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir.
Mir has been out of action since suffering a defeat to then champion Junior dos Santos last May. Time off and a change of camp to Jackson’s MMA will try to put him back on the map this Saturday.
This is a premier fight in the heavyweight division. Two elite heavyweights. Cormier will try and make a case for a title shot in his next bout, and Mir wants to play spoiler and upset the rising prospect. This fight can go any number of ways.
This is a head-to-toe breakdown of the fight before Saturday’s action gets underway.
