Picture the MMA scene in 2011. Mirko Cro Cop retired after losing to Roy Nelson, Andrei Arlovski snapped an 0-4 stretch by beating the likes of Ray Lopez and Travis Fulton, and Ben Rothwell almost got armbarred by Mark Hunt. It's 2015 now (in case you're not aware) and Arlovski, Rothwell, and Cro Cop are all ranked UFC heavyweights as of this week. Mirko secured his spot at #15 with his win over Gabriel Gonzaga last Saturday in Poland. This is real life and we're all witnesses.
