MELBOURNE, Australia – Austin Arnett has come a long way as a fighter, and not just because he’s flown halfway around the world to compete at UFC 234. Arnett (16-5 MMA, 1-2 UFC ) was 19 when he sat in the stands to watch Anderson Silva defend the UFC middleweight title against Vitor Belfort in 2011 at UFC 126. Eight years later, Arnett is fighting on the same card as Silva, who meets Israel Adesanya in Saturday’s pay-per-view co-headliner at Rod Laver Arena. Arnett checked Twitter on Tuesday to realize the anniversary of his teenage trip to see Silva
