Kubrat Pulev Ends UFC Legend Frank Mir in Triad Combat Main Event

Kubrat Pulev took on Frank Mir in the main event of Triller’s Triad Combat. Triller scheduled the fight for 2 nine-minute rounds for the Triller Championship belt. The bout took place in Arlington, Texas, in front of a packed crowd of 20,000 people for Triller’s new event, which they call the evolution of boxing.

The fight started out with Frank Mir closing the distance and clinching, which favors him as an MMA fighter. Mir fought pretty smartly at the beginning, not allowing Pulev to open up his arms or land anything significant. However, in the very first round itself, Mir was tiring, as he let his hands down and could not hit Pulev with any significant punches.

With less than 15 seconds to go in the round, Pulev caught Mir with a one-two combo that got Mir wobbling.
