Frank Mir doesn't need to be reminded that his fight with Andrei Arlovski was a long time coming.
It's only been on his mind for, oh, about a decade or so.
Mir and Arlovski have seemed on a collision course since the days before The Ultimate Fighter. Back when mainstream sports outlets wouldn't touch mixed martial arts with a 10-foot pole, internet message boards buzzed with debate over what would go down when the UFC heavyweight division's young guns -- the jiu-jitsu wiz and the knockout artist -- finally collided.
Improbably, a bout discussed as far back as 2002 will finally go down in 2105, when the pair collide at UFC 191 in Las Vegas, a battle of former champions which will have title-race implications at 265 pounds.
