Before their UFC 191 matchup was announced, Frank Mir believed Andrei Arlovski had done enough to be named the heavyweight division’s No. 1 contender.
That’s why Mir was surprised when Cain Velasquez -- who was soundly defeated by Fabricio Werdum at UFC 188 -- was granted an immediate rematch against “Vai Cavalo.” After nearly two years on the sideline due to injury, Velasquez faded in the altitude of Mexico City before tapping to a Werdum guillotine choke 2:13 into the third round of their June 13 clash.
