At the time of the fight, Arlovski (30-19 MMA, 19-13 UFC) will be 42 years old and look to extend his winning streak to three. He’s won three of his most recent four outings, which include wins over Ben Rothwell, Philipe Lins, and Tanner Boser.

Aspinall (9-2 MMA, 2-0 UFC) has won both of his UFC outings by quick first-round knockouts. In his promotional debut, Aspinall defeated Jake Collier in 45 seconds before he defeated Alan Badout by ground-and-pound stoppage in 1:35 his next time out. The 27-year-old Englishman has won five straight fights by first-round KO/TKO and has never gone to a decision in 11 pro bouts.

UFC president Dana White praised heavyweight legend Andrei Arlovski

Dana White praised heavyweight legend Andrei Arlovski after his latest win at UFC Vegas 13 and said that his ‘chin has gotten better’. Former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski defeated Tanner Boser, who’s 12 years younger than the Belarusian, in a unanimous decision in the co-main event.

Arlovski (30-19 MMA, 19-13 UFC) is now on a two-fight winning streak. Arlovski entered the fight as a massive underdog but landed the harder shots and won a unanimous decision. With the win, he is now 3-1 in his last four and could be looking to fight ahead of him next time out.

“Listen, that guy has been here for 20 years, and to still be competing at that level and be pulling off a win tonight it’s pretty impressive. It seems to me that his chin has gotten better, which is not supposed to happen. It doesn’t work that way. But yeah, he looked good tonight,” Dana White said (via MMAjunkie.com).

“He’s going to be walking roughly for the next few days, but for his age, what that guy has been through and everything else, he looked good tonight. I was happy for him. He’s a good guy.”
