They said it!
Frank Mir "I make it everything except a boxing match.
"It's too close in the fight to worry about the cat getting out of the bag. But yeah, behind every punch, it's not going be possible to throw combos.
"Every punch, I grab him after, and then I work the clinch and drag on him to really push his grappling cardio. He doesn't have the same experience as I do. It's different."
Kubrat Pulev "So I don’t like to talk too much about what I will do, because you know that this is like one small war.
"But I know that I will be very, extremely heavy for him, because I am very combative.
"That's why my preparation is good, I have lots of power and I feel great fighting with him because he also is a great fighter, and I respect him."
