At UFC 92, Frank Mir shocked the world by dominating Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and becoming the first man to stop him with strikes. He has since secured a submission victory over Kongo, a knockout over Mirko Cro Cop and a dominant decision over Roy Nelson.
Three years later, after numerous surgeries and rehabilitation, Nogueira pushed himself back into the heavyweight picture with an impressive first-round knockout of Brendan Schaub, earning himself a rematch with the first fighter to finish him.
Nogueira will be looking to prove to the world that defeating Schaub was a sign of things to come, and that, when healthy, he can beat any heavyweight on the planet.
Mir will be looking to prove that he was, and still is, a better fighter than Nogueira, and will look to make a statement.
