    Frank Mir made his MMA debut against Jerome Smith on July 14, 2001. The fight was set up by UFC matchmaker Joe Silva for Mir to prove himself as a fighter. Mir won the match, as well as his next bout. Mir would next defeat Roberto Travern at UFC 34: High Voltage.

    Mir had several more successful UFC bouts before facing Tim Sylvia at UFC 54 for the vacant UFC heavyweight title in 2004. Mir won the match (and the title) by TKO when the match was stopped after 50 seconds from Mir breaking Sylvia's forearm.

    Three months after winning the UFC title, Mir suffered severe leg injuries from a motorcycle accident. Mir was stripped of his title in 2005 after he was unable to face Andrei Arlovski. Mir eventually recovered from the injury and returned to fighting on February 4, 2006.
