Frank Mir's UFC journey

Frank Mir's impressive UFC career pitched him against some of the best fighters of his generation. Mir won his maiden heavyweight title with the promotion just three years after starting his pro mixed martial arts journey.

Mir holds the record for the most submissions finishes in the promotion's heavyweight history. The 43-year-old also holds the record for the longest uninterrupted tenure with The Ultimate Fighting Championship, competing for the promotion for 16 years.

The American fighter clinched the heavyweight strap after a submission win over Tim Sylvia at UFC 48 in 2004. At the time of his title win, Mir was 8-1 in his pro MMA career.

Mir was later stripped of the title as he took a temporary break from competing owing to a motorcycle accident. After returning to the octagon in 2006, he registered two losses back-to-back.

The American later revived his career in 2008, with two back-to-back victories against WWE superstar Brock Lesnar and Antonio Nogueira. Despite winning the interim heavyweight strap against Nogueria in 2008, Mir never won the undisputed title again.
