When Frank Mir fights Andrei Arlovski it will be a battle of two former heavyweight champions, but for Mir, he wasn’t happy with the matchup:
“In one sense, I’m not happy about it on a social level. 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. I would have been much happier with this situation if we could have skipped each other at this point. I could have fought someone else in the top three and he could have fought Werdum for the title and then we could have faced each other in a title fight instead if he would have won,” Mir said.
“That would have been the ideal situation for me. To say here’s two guys that everyone counted out and said their careers are over. They figured out ways to move forward and persevere and now they’re back.”
