While just about every pundit believes that former UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir would be handed his pink slip with his fourth consecutive loss in a row to Alistair Overeem at UFC 167, famed nutritionist Mike Dolce isn’t so sure.

When asked on MMA Junkie Radio if he thought he could get Mir, whose weighed in as heavy as the upper 250s, down to the light heavyweight limit of 205 pounds, Dolce said “absolutely.”

“I would have to sit down with Frank, and we'd have to talk about it, and he'd have to talk to his family and things like that," Dolce said. "What makes sense for him? Frank, he's a former UFC champion at heavyweight, so I'm not saying he needs to. Could he? Absolutely. Why not?”

“('The Ultimate Fighter 17' winner) Kelvin Gastelum just lost 35 pounds to weigh in at 170, and he went and competed at 194, the same exact weight he was when he won the middleweight title for 'TUF 17.' That's very important.”

Dolce has worked with the “who’s who” of the MMA industry, including Chael Sonnen, Nik Lentz, Vitor Belfort and Johny Hendricks.

The trainer to the stars recounted a time when he got ex-UFC light heavyweight champ Quinton “Rampage” Jackson down to light heavyweight from 261 pounds in time for a UFC 123 matchup with Lyoto Machida in November 2010.

Jackson ended up winning the fight by split decision.

Mir has fought all 24 of his professional fights at heavyweight, though in recent years has struggled with physically bigger and stronger opponents such as Brock Lesnar, Shane Carwin and Josh Barnett.

The better question is if Mir loses to Overeem on November 16, would the 34-year-old competitor even be interested in continuing his career?
