Arlovski hasn’t tasted victory since September 2015, when he garnered a unanimous decision over Frank Mir at UFC 191. The 38-year-old Belarusian has been finished in four of the five bouts during his current skid. Most recently, however, he dropped a three-round verdict to Marcin Tybura at UFC Fight Night 111 on June 17.
