#2 Andrei Arlovski vs Marcin Tybura
Firstly, I’d like to thank the Pitbull for all the years of entertainment and wild fights that he’s given us. But with that being said, I can’t help but see this fight being Arlovski’s last in his current UFC run.
Andrei has taken a ton of damage over the course of his last few fights and has been brutally stopped in all of them, including his submission loss to Josh Barnett – a fight in which Arlovski took a ton of damage via strikes before being submitted.
On the other hand, there’s Tybura who, mind you, is no slouch, on the ground or on the feet. His only losses in MMA are a decision to Timothy Johnson and a TKO (Doctor Stoppage) loss to Stephan Puetz in 2015.
I see this fight starting out with Arlovski moving his feet well and tagging Tybura with a few decent shots. Nevertheless, Tybura will find his mark as and when both fighters settle into the rhythm of the fight he’ll crack Arlovski with a clean strike when the latter enters punching range, and likely hand another TKO loss to the former UFC Heavyweight Champion.
Prediction: Marcin Tybura def. Andrei Arlovski via TKO
