Andrei Arlovski rolls back the years and defies all odds at UFC 187 in first round thriller

There are few fighters who have the will power, perseverance and determination to rejuvenate their careers after hitting rock bottom - Andrei Arlovski is one of them.

On Saturday night at UFC 187, MMA fans were treated to a pulsating heavyweight slugfest between Andrei Arlovski and Travis Browne. It was as if Diaz vs. Daley had reincarnated under the UFC banner; only the hits were bigger and the brain cells squashed harder. Arlovski vs. Browne was a four-minute ballet of violence. And it was bloody brilliant.

They shared the same house together. Wined and dined together. Rocked and socked in the Octagon together.
