Frank Mir vraagt UFC om contract ontbinding

Jul 7, 2016 UFC veteraan Frank Mir heeft bekend gemaakt tijdens een recent interview dat hij heeft gevraagd om zijn officiële ontbinding van zijn contract met de Zuffa die eigenaar is van de organisatie nadat hij voor 2 jaar was geschorst voor meerdere drugtests na zijn verlies partij tegen Mark Hunt bij UFC Fight Night 85.

Aangezien dit betekent dat hij niet langer in staat zal zijn om te vechten tot 2018 bij UFC, is dit voor Mir de beste manier van handelen om verder te gaan met zijn carrière in een andere hoedanigheid.

Mir zegt zelf het volgende:
"As of right now I'm under suspension, as of April 2018. I'll be eligible to fight again the UFC, and even more, as troubling as that is, also they have it to where I can't do any broadcasting. Not that I was ever going to get it in there, just because I've been asking for several years since the WEC since put this in the rotation, and now they even have more reason to not put me in the rotation.  So right now I'd like to be released by the UFC so I can go off and continue my career in other avenues."

Hij wil zijn hij kinderen kunnen onderhouden en hij wil in staat zijn om wat geld achter de hand te houden dat hij heeft achtergelaten op zijn spaarrekening, dit alles terwijl hij gaat proberen om andere wegen te bewandelen die hem in staat stellen om financieel door te kunnen ​​leven.

"I didn't see any advantage or course of action that would have been conclusive or really had any percentages on my side where I could win. They came in and grabbed the supplements and I was under the impression that they were going to test them and then they notified me that no. Just kind of our long thought process when they said that I could be present when the B sample was opened in the same lab here in Tokyo. But, it would be my responsibility to get down there. And that's when I brought up, 'Well why don't you guys send it to a lab in the U.S. that is WADA approved that is a little bit easier and a little more convenient for me to attend?' It accomplishes many goals, like it would be a different lab technician and a little bit easier for me to get to Salt Lake City than it would be for me to get to Tokyo. Even when the samples, they said they collected them, but it's up to me to test them. They said, 'You have to foot the bill and you pay for it out of pocket.' Same thing with getting an attorney that represents me. It's starting to look very expensive to fight, and if at the end of it I'm still suspended and I'm not allowed to fight or broadcast, I have to start to think about my savings as something I have to sit back on and I have children. I made a calculated decision to go ahead and forego trying to battle it anymore. Now, the only option I really see is that, even if it was a reduced sentence of one year, I have children that are very active, are in private school and different endeavors and fighting and with no work for a year, let alone two years, it's not feasible. So hopefully UFC releases me so I can go on and follow broadcasting, fighting and different avenues."

Als bekend is waar en bij welke organisatie Mir gaat vechten, laten we dat hier weten!
