Andrei Arlovski is a veteran of the sport. He has been a professional fighter for 21 years now and has fought the very best fighters to have ever step foot into the Octagon. This includes the likes of Alistair Overeem, Stipe Miocic, Fedor Emelianenko among many others.
Arlovski is now 41 and still puts up tough fights against younger opponents. ‘The Pit Bull’ has previously won and defended the UFC heavyweight belt. If he manages to continue his good run of form it will not be long before he is awarded another title shot.
Andrei Arlovski is now on a two-fight win streak with wins over Tanner Boser and Philipe Lins. He is now 3-2 in his last five fights, which is impressive considering he was on a five-fight skid not too long ago.

Following his victory over Tanner Boser, Arlovski spoke to the media about what he has been doing right to secure wins recently. ‘The Pit Bull’ said, “As a fighter, from my fighting experience, a problem for me was I never too much stick with my game plan. Sometimes I was a little bit—not c***y, but not so nice, you know? Thank God, as I said, the second fight in a row I stick with my game plan and I have a great team, great coaches, sparring partners, everything great, knock on wood. I’m like Nike, ‘Just Do It’”

Arlovski continued, “Every time after weigh-ins, Dana White and the fighters meet and go, ‘$50,000 bonus for this, for that and I in my head, ‘F*ck, I want to make another $50,000. But you know what, it’s better step-by-step. Just better get yours because you can lose everything and it’s not guaranteed that you’re going to get a bonus. So I have to stick with my game plan. I feel great. I feel healthy and just step-by-step”
‘The Pit Bull’ has been known for his knockouts and has secured 57% of his wins via T/KO. However, his recklessness has cost him certain fights that he should have won.

Arlovski has more than two decades of experience, that is now being put to good use. UFC fans have seen a different version of him in his last two fights.
The heavyweight division is on fire right now. Francis Ngannou is next in line for the title. The winner of Curtis Blaydes vs Derrick Lewis is arguably next after Ngannou. With a few more wins under his belt, the wily veteran will make a good case for another title shot.
