The 46-year-old Arlovski is a former UFC heavyweight champion, having won an interim title at UFC 51 in February of 2005. Arlovski was later promoted to undisputed champion after a successful interim title defense against Justin Eilers at UFC 53. After losing the belt to Tim Sylvia, Arlovski had an up-and-down career, leaving the UFC in 2008, but returning six years later, where he finished out his MMA career. Arlovski left the promotion again in 2024, following a four-fight losing streak. âThe Pitbullâ then made his Dirty Boxing debut earlier this year, stopping Terrance Hodges in the second round back in March.
A longtime MMA veteran with a record of 45-26-1, dos Santos made his BKFC debut back in April, stopping Aleksei Oleinik at BKFC 41.
