Andrei Arlovski is set to return to action for the first time since parting ways with the Ultimate Fighting Championship last year.
Arlovski will square off against Terrance Hodges under the Dirty Boxing banner on March 22 at the Regatta Harbour in Miami, the promotion announced Wednesday. DBX 1 is expected to be headlined by a clash between Yoel Romeo and Ras Hylton. DBX uses four-ounce gloves, with elbows and “conditional ground-and-pound” allowed.
A former heavyweight champion, Arlovski fulfilled his last UFC contract with a split-decision loss against Martin Buday at UFC 303 this past July.
