He comes in on a four fight losing streak, two in UFC and two in Bellator MMA, most recently losing by knockout to Javy Ayala at last year’s Bellator 212. The good news for Mir is that he owns a win over Roy Nelson from UFC 130 eight years ago.
While Nelson (23-17) owns a Bellator win over mutual opponent Ayala, he too has had some hard times of late, dropping three straight including a rematch with Mirko Cro Cop.
