When Frank Mir discusses his upcoming bout with Andrei Arlovski at UFC 191, it seems as though the veteran heavyweight has formed something of a mutual admiration society with his fellow former champion.

While some of that likely stems from the two fighters time together as training partners, that respect also precedes their days at Jackson-Wink MMA. Mir recalls watching Arlovski as the Belarusian terrorized the heavyweight division approximately a decade ago.

“I remember when I watched him fight “Cabbage” Correia at [UFC 47],” Mir said during a conference call.
