Former UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir has a message for internet trolls.
Frank Mir isn't too thrilled about fighting Andrei Arlovski at UFC 191 this weekend. "I think we both have a lot to offer the sport and I don't want to see either one of us derailed right now", Mir said in an interview last month. The former heavyweight champion isn't too moved by internet trolls, either.
Mir and Arlovski have both battled through adversity and early retirement calls to persevere as top UFC contenders. In 2004, Mir was involved in a devastating motorcycle accident that nearly ended his MMA career and Arlovski was pressured into retirement by fans and coaches after a series of crushing losses in 2009/2010.
