UFC 164 hits Milwaukee, Wis. this Saturday, and in the co-main event two heavyweight veterans step inside the Octagon against one another for the first time.
Former UFC Heavyweight Champions Frank Mir and Josh Barnett will finally go toe-to-toe in a top-10 battle. Mir, ranked No. 6, and Barnett, ranked No. 10, have been in the sport for a long time and have accomplished many things. They are still ranked, and they are still looking for that one last chance at glory.
Mir is coming off back-to-back losses to two of the division’s elite, and Barnett returns to the Octagon for the first time since winning the gold back in 2002. After years of speculation, we will finally get to see which heavyweight will get his hand raised in victory.
Looking ahead to the weekend, this is your head-to-toe breakdown of this vital heavyweight showcase between Barnett and Mir.
