What they said
Frank Mir: “I just make it everything but a boxing match.
“It’s too close to the fight to really worry about letting the cat out of the bag, but yeah, behind every punch, he’s not going to be able to throw combos.
“Every punch, I’m grabbing him afterwards, and then I’m going to work the clinch and just drag on him and really push his grappling cardio, which he doesn’t have to the experience that I do. It’s different.”
Kubrat Pulev: “So I don’t like to speak too much what I will do because you know this is like one little war.
“But for sure, I will be very, very heavy for him because I’m very combative.
“That’s why I’m prepared good, I have lot of power, and I feel great to fight with him because he’s also a great fighter and I respect him.”
