Tonight’s Triller Triad Combat event was headlined by a heavyweight contest featuring Frank Mir squaring off with Kubrat Pulev.
Mir (0-1 Boxing, 19-3 MMA), a former UFC heavyweight champion, had made his professional boxing debut back in April where he suffered a loss to Steve Cunningham.
Meanwhile, Kubrat Pulev (28-2 Boxing) had most previously competed in December of 2020, where he suffered a ninth-round knockout loss to Anthony Joshua.
Tonight’s Triller Triad Combat main event proved to be a quick and one-sided affair. Pulev was able to get off some big shots early and a big left hook had Frank Mir out on his feet. Thankfully the referee stepped in to call a stop to the contest before the former UFC champion sustained any further damage.

Solid acting, on scale of 1-TITO, I’d give it a 7.

Frank Mir got hit so hard by Pulev that we got the “Finish Him!” animation.

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
