Can anyone confirm or deny? I hope it's not true, I'm really pulling for Frank tomorrow.
According to Sam Caplan at 5oz of pain
"There’s quite the dichotomy when it comes to Frank Mir and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira. From everyone I’ve spoken to, Mir did not have a great training camp leading up to this fight. He battled several injuries, most notably a back problem.
At one point in November, a source even contacted FiveOuncesOfPain.com to raise questions whether the fight was going to remain on the card. While Mir is a former heavyweight champion, has great jiu-jitsu, and deserves respect as a fighter, the truth of the matter is that he’s not known for having the best work ethic in the gym."
