Frank Mir had a legendary UFC career and while daughter Bella would love to follow in his footsteps, she's also hoping to avoid some of the same pitfalls.

Daughter of UFC legend wants to avoid taking same damage as father: ‘His brain is not good today’
Published
7 hours agoon
Bella Mir attempted to move one step closer to a UFC contract in her recent Dana White's Contender Series appearance, but she was on the wrong end of a massive upset as she lost a decision to Alex Apodaca. Still just 23 years old, Mir is already over her first MMA loss, which was suffered in her fifth pro fight—just like her father.
The similarities between the two were brought to Mir's attention by a social media post that pointed out how both Bella and Frank won their first fight by decision, their next three by first-round submission, and then lost their fifth. While Mir aims to win a UFC title someday like Frank, she's not planning to take the same kind of damage he endured over an 18-year career.
“I didn't know that until I watched someone on a video post on Instagram and they were talking about [our similarities] and I was like, that is so weird,†Mir told The Ariel Helwani Show. “I hope that we don't have the exact career all the way through because I want to fight for a long time and not have so much brain damage.â€
When Frank dethroned Tim Sylvia to become UFC heavyweight champion, he was 25 years old, two years older than Mir is now. Frank's momentum was stalled by a motorcycle injury that forced him to relinquish his title, but he eventually battled back to capture an interim title in 2008 and competed for the undisputed title two more times.
He retired in 2019 with a 19-13 record, with 10 of those 13 losses coming by way of knockout. Mir has seen firsthand how those defeats have taken their toll on Frank.
“He's been in so many wars before, his brain is not good today,†Mir said. “I feel like it's really been catching up to him and I'd like to try to get fast finishes and not have wars like that, like I just did in that last fight. Obviously, if I have to I will. … I don't know if I want to have 32 fights.â€
“He's doing good, but he's had so many surgeries,†she added. “His body is so beat up. He's had his neck fused, he's had his lower back fused, he's had his hip replacement, his knee replacement. Both his labrums in his shoulders are completely gone, that's why I said I did not want to have his career. I want to be able to not have that many surgeries and function afterwards completely normal. There's times where he's, like, needing a cane because he can't walk that much, so it's just his body's beat up.â€
A collegiate wrestling standout—Mir won an NCAA Division-I title for North Central College this past March—Mir is optimistic she can take care of her body even as she continues to pursue her dream of competing at the Olympics and becoming a UFC star.
Mir will be tied inextricably to Frank throughout her combat sports journey, but it was her mother Jennifer who made headlines following Mir's Contender Series loss. Jennifer went on a rampage on social media, criticizing Apodaca, later deleting her comments and issuing an apology. Mir is used to facing extra scrutiny due to her family name and joked that her mother actually drew some of the attention away from her for once.
“Honestly, the hate after the fight, it didn't surprise me at all, and then my mom commenting about stuff, that didn't really help the situation,†Mir said. “But she honestly kind of took the fire off of me. Everyone started hating on her more than they were hating on me, so it's crazy, it's like, ‘Mom, you literally protect me in every situation I've ever lived in. Literally, you protected me more in this one.' I don't know how you could have done that, but she did.
“I think it just took the best of her, and then drinking that night, that didn't really help. So I don't think she had any kind of mission, she was just raging out. She obviously apologized to everyone. She admitted that she made a mistake and that's the best that anyone can do is owning up to it, so that was just a crazy situation.â€

McMillen firmly believes he is the top prospect in the
Ultimate Fighting Championship featherweight division.
The undefeated 145-pounder will meet fellow unbeaten prospect
Marwan
Rahiki at
Noche UFC 4 on Sept. 12 in Glendale, Arizona, and McMillen
believes the matchup is exactly what he wants at this stage of his
career.
Tommy McMillen welcomes the Marwan Rahiki matchup at Noche
UFC
McMillen (11-0) has 10 finishes on his record, with his lone
decision win coming in his contract-winning effort on
Dana White's Contender Series. When asked about facing a
dangerous prospect in his third UFC outing rather than a
less-challenging matchup, McMillen said he welcomes the
challenge.
“Yeah, you know I like to fight,†McMillen said in a recent
interview. “I want to fight the toughest guys to prove that I’m on
a different level.â€
Rahiki (9-0) has earned finishes in all nine of his professional
victories and, like McMillen, is 2-0 in the UFC. The latter
believes his opponent’s confidence makes the matchup even more
appealing.
“This kid’s a prospect, he runs his mouth, he talks a lot and
that’s the exact fight that I want to take head-on and just show
everybody like I am who I say I am,†McMillen added. “This kid’s
another prospect, so I’m gonna go out there and put him down, cash
another $100,000 bonus and just show that, you know, this is my
time.â€

Teixeira wants to see the bad blood between Alex
Pereira and Josh Hokit
come to a head inside the Octagon.
Just hours after defeating Mauricio
“Shogun†Rua by unanimous decision in an eight-round boxing
match at Spaten Fight Night 3 in Sao Paulo, the former champ
offered his thoughts on Pereira’s future. Teixeira believes Hokit
is the ideal next opponent for “Poatan†in the
Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Glover Teixeira wants Alex Pereira to settle his rivalry with
Josh Hokit in the UFC
When asked about Pereira vs. Hokit, Teixeira laid out his
prediction for how the bout will play out.
“Personally, I would love to see him against Hokit,†Teixeira said
in an interview with journalist Laerte Viana. “I think this guy
speaks a lot of bullsh*t and I believe ‘Poatan' would knock him out
in the first round.â€
Teixeira also indicated that Pereira is training regularly and
simply waiting for his next assignment. The rivalry between the
Brazilian former two-division champ and the polarizing undefeated
American intensified ahead of
UFC Freedom 250, when Hokit made crude comments at the
pre-fight presser.
“The Incredible Hok†then called out Pereira in his post-fight
interview after finishing Derrick
Lewis at the White House event.
