Mir interested in fight with Anderson

Frank Mir has admitted he would be “extremely interested” in a fight with UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva.

Reports have previously hinted that the two could be set for a super-fight.

“I’m extremely interested in the fight,” Mir said at Friday’s post-WEC 43 weigh-in Q&A session. “I’ve learned that size helps people win fights. It would be nice to be on the other end of that.”

“With Anderson, obviously he’s a great striker and he is pound-for-pound one of the best fighters in the world,” Mir said. “But with my grappling, it would be a very bad night for him.

“I think there’s a reason why he should just do a few exhibitions at light heavyweight and stay a middleweight.”
