Triller Triad Combat: Frank Mir vs Kubrat Pulev headliner announced
Triller Triad Combat's first main event has officially been announced. The rebranded combat-sports company offers former UFC heavyweight champ Frank Mir and boxing standout Kubrat Pulev to the masses on Nov. 27.
So far, Triller has done standard boxing shows, with musical acts intersperced, but they've seemingly thrown in the towel on that idea.
Triller has been teasing this particular event for some time, while keeping its details close-to-vest.
However, Triller has now announced actual fights for the event, and the main event does seem interesting. Frank Mir (19-13 MMA) and Kubrat Pulev bring varied skills that could absolutely clash, or make for a notable evening.
The fight will be a nine-round contest, using what Triller describes as "crossover gloves." All the card's bouts will be contested with those unique gloves, and inside a triangle cage.
The fights themselves feature a rule-set similar to kickboxing, minus the actual kicking part. Elbows are allowed, as well as clinching. All of the fights are expected to include MMA fighters taking on boxers in mixed-rules contests.
While Mir versus Pulev headlines, a slew of undercard bouts were announced for the initial Triad Combat event.
Lots of notable names for fans of both boxing and MMA are expected to take part. The co-main event features former Bellator heavyweight Matt Mitrione (13-9 MMA) taking on Alexander Flores (18-3-1 boxing) in a seven-round contest.
