10 Crazy UFC Fights You Must Watch In February

6. Andrei Arlovski Vs. Tom Aspinall - UFC Fight Night 185

After a couple of extremely impressive performances in his two UFC fights, 27-year old British striker, Tom Aspinall, is taking the massive step-up in competition when he faces former UFC heavyweight champion, Andrei Arlovski.

Despite being in the latter years of his career, Arlovski is still hanging on, winning three of his last four fights inside the Octagon. While he hasn't finished an opponent in six years, he's still got more than enough skill and veteran wiliness to cause anyone a problem.

However, Aspinall has looked the real deal during his Octagon outings, finishing both opponents in the first round in thrilling and violent fashion. Even though his striking is what has gained him all his plaudits so far, the 27-year old is a legit whiz on the ground too.

Some may wonder if it's a case of too much, too soon for Aspinall. However, if he manages to not only win, but finish Arlovski in impressive fashion, then it looks like we have another heavyweight contender on our hands.
