The reason cited by the UFC
for the suspension is an unexpected knee injury suffered by Mir during a training
session not long ago. The UFC expressed that Mir had bone fragments in his knee
that affected his mobility and that he required surgery to remove the fragments.

to serve as the main event during the UFC 100 set to take place in
