UFC: Frank Mir knocked out Antonio 'Bigfoot' Silva in the first round of their fight in Brazil
Tuesday 24 February 2015 11:46, UK
Frank Mir stopped Antonio 'Bigfoot' Silva less than two minutes into their heavyweight fight to emphatically end his losing streak.
The former UFC champion had lost four on the trot but a jab and left hook combination flattened 'Bigfoot' after one minute and 40 seconds of their bout in Porto Alegre, Brazil.
The 35-year-old Mir now has the most finishes in UFC heavyweight history after confusing his Brazilian opponent by ditching his southpaw style and coming out in an orthodox stance.
Mir's victory was his first since December 2011 when he submitted Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira.
Also at the Porto Alegre event, Michael Johnson earned an upset decision victory over Edson Barboza.
