Comments Thread For: Frank Mir vs. Kubrat Pulev Tops Triller's Triad Combat on November 27 in Arlington

[Clegg]

Triller just picking random names out of a hat again.

I'll go with Pulev by KO. Both are old and slow, but Pulev a bit less so. Mir deserves credit for coming from MMA to beat Cunningham, but I don't think he's good enough to win this one.

Mir did not beat Cunningham, he went the distance and lost a wide decision.

some of These new formats are letting fighters go too long and get hurt. Mir will be paying for this in years to come

A bad matchup for Mir. Will be a mismatch.

We've all been waiting anxiously for this one.

Triller WTF? Why not have a main event like Hunter vs Pulev or something like that…

[REDEEMER]

Should be interesting , could branch out to see if modified rules would change dominance in the boxing world but against a savvy MMA guy this is a tricky fight for Pulev holding and hitting is allowed and Mir is a brute physically if he’s allowed to do it .

I expect Mir to win but I have a feeling Pulev may get disqualified where the rules may be confusing in the events first outting ,that’s a lot of little detail rules here to keep on top of but I’m definitely watching .

Is there a fighter better suited for this than Sakio Bika? This is tailormade for him, only thing missing is legal rabbit punches and there'd be no need for weight classes.

It is not boxing, going to be a mixed rules MMA+Boxing to level the playing field. Rules video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAIzG2CAX-k

I dont think spinning back fists, standing on someones toes and being able to dirty box more does much to level the playing field tbh. And its certainly not "the true middle ground between boxing and MMA" like the video says.

Typical Triller cluster****.

Bika would be the GOAT with these rules. That dude was stronger than any vodka that Kovalev ever consumed
