One of the most anticipated fights on UFC 191 was the co-main event, a heavyweight fight between two former champs who have fought their way back to the top. Yes when Frank Mir and Andrei Arlovski were booked to fight the MMA world was pretty confident we would get a knock down grab em out war.
Instead, we got three rounds of pretty tired and at time sloppy heavyweights, unable to really do anything to the other.
Arlovski ended up getting the nod from the judges, something some people weren’t very happy about because they thought Mir did enough to win.
Even Dana White said he thought Mir had it, while also admitting that the fight wasn’t what he thought it would be.
So, disappointment? Maybe, but you can’t win them all.
Check out how the MMA world reacted to the less-than spectacular fight:
Mir's belly can almost contend with Roy Nelson's #UFC191
