The Matchup
This will undoubtedly be a fun fight for the fans. This is almost certainly going to be a stand-up clash and likely won’t require the judge’s assistance. Both fighters have advantages. Arlovski has better kicks and submissions, while Aspinall is faster and hits harder. If the fight stays standing, which it likely will, it’ll just be a matter of time until Arlovski gets hurt and ultimately finished.
