At UFC Fight Night 61, notable heavyweights Antonio Silva and Frank Mir will look to get back into the win column.
Since earning a title shot against Junior dos Santos in May 2012, Mir has lost four in a row. He’s been a huge star in the UFC for more than a decade, but Mir’s MMA career appears to be winding down. Suffering a fifth consecutive loss this weekend could bring it to an end.
Silva earned a title shot with a shocking February 2013 win over Alistair Overeem. He has not won since then, though. The brightest moment Silva has had during his current drought was a Fight of the Night performance in a draw with Mark Hunt. Of course, Bigfoot ended up failing his drug test following that bout.
