Kubrat Pulev dominated former UFC champion Frank Mir and earned himself a knockout win. Pulev earned himself the inaugural Triad Combat belt with his win over Mir.
Mir started the fight by clinching up, but could not keep Pulev in his grasp. Pulev was able to pick apart Mir while keeping his distance and landed a few power shots that had Mir wobbling on his feet. Referee Dan Miragliotta stepped in to call off the fight with Mir still on his feet in the corner.

Tonight from Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, Triller played host to Triad Combat: Mir vs. Pulev live on pay-per-view.
Triller brought to life their new concept for combat sports that they view as a hybrid between boxing and MMA. Under the Triad Combat rules, fighters compete in a triangular ring in two-minute rounds. The boxing/MMA hybrid comes into play with fighters having leeway for clinching and striking in the clinch.
In tonight’s main event, MMA legend Frank Mir took on Kubrat Pulev. Pulev entered the fight as a 28-2 boxer with 14 knockouts. In the co-main event, MMA vet Matt Mitrione fought Alexander Flores in another heavyweight bout. The 31-year-old Flores came in with an 18-3-1 professional boxing record, and this was Mitrione’s first time competing in a boxing/non-MMA contest.
Finally, the colorful Mike Perry also competed on tonight’s card. Perry recently exited the UFC and signed with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship. Under BKFC contracts, fighters are free to pursue other ventures, and that is what Perry did tonight in his fight against Michael Seals, a 39-year-old boxer who entered with a 25-3 record.
You can catch the highlights from all three of those fights below followed by the quick results of the entire card!

Frank Mir, a former UFC heavyweight champion, says his fight on Saturday at Triller Triad Combat against Kubrat Pulev will be the highest payday of his career.
Mir has been a part of massive fights and events like headlining UFC 100 against Brock Lesnar. He also headlined Bellator shows, as well, but on Saturday, he says his payday is the highest of his career.
“Not [by a significant amount],” Mir said on The MMA Hour. “The second Brock fight was close, but that was the second biggest of my career. But no, this one … in fact, if I hit my bonuses and I win, I’m basically touching on seven figures. And I’ve never been within a couple hundred grand of that in the MMA world.”
“It’s a testament to what Triller is doing, pushing the paydays and sharing the income. I realize this is a couple of years ago and this is kind of bittersweet for me,” Mir said. “I looked at some of the pay-per-view buys that Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury sold. And what they took home for paydays. Brock and I sold more pay-per-views, and I didn’t take home nowhere near as much as either one of them. Brock and I combined didn’t take home ten percent of what they got.”
Frank Mir is set to headline the Triller card on Saturday. It’s a special rules fight as it is mainly boxing with some clinching. The former UFC heavyweight champ fought for Triller on the Jake Paul vs. Ben Askren card where he fought former IBF cruiserweight champ, Steve Cunningham where he lost by decision but did much better than many thought. Prior to that, he beat Roy Nelson by decision at Bellator 231 which snapped his four-fight losing skid.
What do you make of Triller paying more money to Frank Mir than he made in the UFC?

Frank Mir has shocked many by claiming he is in line for a career-high payday when he takes on Kubrat Pulev in the main event of Triller’s Triad Combat show this Saturday night.
During a recent appearance on The MMA Hour, Mir revealed that despite being involved in some of the biggest events in UFC history he has never netted a million-dollar paycheque.
“The second Brock [Lesnar] fight [at UFC 100] was close, but that was the second-biggest of my career. But no, this one [is the biggest],” Mir revealed. “In fact, if I hit my bonuses and I win, I’m basically touching on seven figures, and I’ve never been within a couple $100,000 of that in the MMA world.”
After seeing the money Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder recently made for their trilogy fight, Mir is kind of miffed that he and Lesnar didn’t come anywhere near to those figure despite outselling the heavyweight boxing duo,
“I think that’s a testament to what Triller is doing, pushing the paydays and sharing the income,” Mir said. “I mean, here, I realized this a couple years ago, this is kind of bittersweet for me — I looked at the amount of pay-per-view buys that Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury sold, and what they took home for paydays. Me and Brock sold more pay-per-views, and I didn’t take nowhere near as much as either one of them. I think Brock and I, combined, didn’t take 10 percent of what they did.”
“I just make it everything but a boxing match,” Mir said. “It’s too close to the fight to really worry about letting the cat out of the bag, but yeah, behind every punch, he’s not going to be able to throw combos. Every punch, I’m grabbing him afterwards, and then I’m going to work the clinch and just drag on him and really push his grappling cardio, which he doesn’t have to the experience that I do. It’s different. You can ask anybody’s who’s fought MMA — the first time you wrestled with somebody, stood up, and then you had to throw punches again? It’s a different feeling, and it takes a lot of acclamation.
“I have 20 years of doing it, and my endurance and my understanding of how it works, being relaxed and able to still fire off. So obviously boxing at range, even if I thought I was better than him at that, why would I? That’s what he’s best at, where he’s most comfortable, where his heart rate is going to be low. I’m going to jump on him and rag-doll the hell out of him.”

Former UFC fighters such as Frank Mir, Matt Mitrione, and Mike Perry will compete in the boxing ring at Triller Triad Combat later this month.
Mir will make his return to the ring after falling in his boxing debut to Steve Cunningham on the Jake Paul/Ben Askren card earlier this year. Despite losing the fight, Mir surpassed expectations in many boxing fans’ eyes and sounded optimistic about continuing to develop his skills.
Mir briefly competed in Bellator after a long tenure in the UFC which included a reign as the UFC heavyweight champion. In his last MMA fight, he defeated Roy Nelson by unanimous decision at Bellator 231 before leaving the sport.
Former UFC fighters transitioning to boxing opened the door to Mir and others to continue to make a living off of their combat sports skillsets.
Perry became the most recent UFC fighter to make the switch from MMA to boxing after an up-and-down series of fights with the UFC. He was released by the promotion after losing four of his last five bouts, included a lopsided performance against Daniel Rodriguez. Perry will compete in his first boxing match in six years against Sakio Bika.
Below are just a few of the names on the card, as highlighted by MMA journalist Ariel Helwani.
A former UFC heavyweight colleague of Mir’s, Matt Mitrione, will compete against Alexander Flores. The former Ultimate Fighter standout will be making his boxing debut after a long stint in Bellator.
The boxing event will precede the highly-anticipated Paul/Tommy Fury card and will take place on Nov. 27 in Arlington, TX. Mir, Perry, and Mitrione will have the opportunity to once again prove themselves on a big stage.
