Frank Mir’s fight against Kubrat Pulev didn’t go well on Saturday night, and fans weren’t happy about it for a number of reasons.
Mir was knocked out while standing on his feet early in the first round of his Triller Triad Combat at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. Pulev simply rolled all over Mir, and had him wobbling on his feet uncontrollably before referee Dan Miragliotta finally called it.
Pulev was just standing and watching the unusual scene at the end, too, unsure of what to do as Mir stumbled back into the corner of the triangle ring.
Many were quick to react and call out Triller, Miragliotta and pretty much everyone involved in the event for letting Mir be involved for that long — which makes sense, considering how unstable the 42-year-old looked at the end and how mismatched the event really was from the beginning.
Frank Mir got hit so hard he was frozen in time. Pulev looked at him like “who’s gonna unpause this?” before referee Dan Miragliotta stopped it. LMAOOOOOOOOOO

Pulev just made Frank Mir slow dance by himself like Boyz 2 Men was playing in the background.#TriadCombat

Someone gotta do something about those scumbag clowns at @triller .
Frank Mir shouldn’t have been allowed anywhere near that triangle thing. Pulev could’ve killed him. All for a gimmick.— cody kaye (@Cody_KayeFOX) November 28, 2021
With Pulev- Mir, can I ask why this commentator is going nuts like he can’t believe Pulev destroyed him? It was set as a mismatch. #Triller #TriadCombat
