To claim that Heavyweight Brazilian jiu-jitsu submission machine, Frank Mir, has fallen in love with his stand up skills of late would be an understatement. To think that they are good enough to go toe-to-toe with knockout artist Andrei Arlovski would be foolish.
Or not.
Arlovski and Mir -- former Heavyweight champions -- finally collided tonight (Sat., Sept. 5, 2015) in the co-main event of UFC 191, which took place inside MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. And even though Mir was willing to exchange shots for three grueling rounds, his stand up -- and his light ground work -- were not enough to give him the edge with the judges sitting ringside.
