Mir would “love” to face Silva

UFC heavyweight Frank Mir has admitted that he ‘would love’ a possible fight against UFC middleweight champion.

Anderson Silva has hinted that he may make the move up to heavyweight for a couple of fights, but has recently ruled out a fight against the champion, Brock Lesnar.

Mir told MMA FanHouse: “Anderson Silva is one of the best fighters pound-for-pound in the world. I would have a size advantage on him but I’d want to fight him with a lot of skill.

“I want to be in the Octagon with him. Some of the things he does seem like they’re being scripted, they’re so unbelievable. I would love to be able to face him.”
