According to MMABay.co.uk, UFC heavyweight Frank Mir seems to be interested in the possibility of facing Brock Lesnar in a rubber match.
Mir expressed his interest in a third encounter with Lesnar during an interview on Pro MMA Radio. Mir said the thought of facing the 265 lb heavyweight intrigues him and matches up well against him, stylistically.
But Mir feels the former UFC heavyweight champion needs a win before they should compete against each other.
“I wouldn’t mind if he came back and looked a little dominating first just to make it look intriguing,” Mir said.
“I think with his last fight against Velasquez, I wouldn’t want to diminish the victory that I would pose off of beating him like, ‘well, he did lose his last fight. He looked like garbage against Carwin and now he had surgery.’ I would like to remove a few of those things.”
Although he lost to Lesnar in their rematch at UFC 100, Mir has improved since then, going 4-2 in his last six fights. His most recent victory came against Roy Nelson at UFC 130, where Mir dominated his opponent to earn a unanimous decision.
Lesnar, is currently recovering for the remainder of the year after he underwent surgery to repair his second bout with diverticulitis. He was originally slated to face Junior dos Santos at UFC 131, but after contracting the illness, he was forced to pull out of the bout.
