Ultimate Fighting Championship® announces Postponement of  December Fight Card in Japan

Heavyweight Champion Frank Mir Injured In Auto Accident

LAS VEGAS, NEV., September 23, 2004…Officials of the Ultimate Fighting Championship® brand of mixed

martial arts today announced the postponement of its December fight card scheduled for Tokyo, Japan. A

Japan fight card will be re-scheduled for a later date that will be determined.

UFC® Heavyweight Champion Frank Mir (8-1-0 in mixed martial arts) from Las Vegas, Nev., was scheduled

to defend his title in the main event against top contender Andre Arlovski (8-3-0) from Minsk, Belarus.

Mir recently sustained a broken left leg in an auto accident in Las Vegas and will be sidelined indefinitely.

“Zuffa has every intent to go to Japan and the December date looked very good until Frank’s unfortunate

accident,” said Zuffa/UFC president Dana White. “Our number one concern is Frank’s health. He’s strong

and had fought really well in his last three fights. He was lucky and will fully recover, but will not be ready by

December.”
