Belarusian Andrei Arlovski is a viciously determined fighter who has built an incredibly impressive reputation in the fight game. After losing his first ever competitive match, Arlovski scrapped his way to be regarded as one of the finest mixed martial artists around.

The stocky heavyweight is not typical of the division he has carved his name into. Although not short, the 6'4" Arlovski can appear to look so when towered over by some of his contemporaries. However Arlovski’s determination and scrapping spirit mean he never succumbs to the over-powering odds he has been faced with in the past.

Spending much of his early career as a talented wrestler, Arlovski soon re-invented his style and became one of the most feared strikers in the entire UFC. Arlovski works closely with famed boxing coach Freddie Roach and has become highly regarded for his incredible hand speed and surprising knockout power. The Pitbull is a vicious and determined fighter who has torn his way through some of the biggest and baddest names the UFC has sported.
