BE's striking specialist Connor Ruebusch breaks down the thought process behind the tricky backfist that gave Andrei Arlovski the upper hand against Travis Browne.
Two title fights headlined UFC 187 on May 23rd, and both of them saw the winners overcome serious adversity before stopping their opponents. And yet, the fight that will stick out in most fans' minds is the round-of-the-year brawl between Travis Browne and Andrei Arlosvki.
Arlovski is just one of the many veterans in the past five years to have enjoyed an unexpected late career resurgence in the UFC. Like Matt Brown, Mark Hunt, Fabricio Werdum, and Robbie Lawler, Arlovski was until very recently an also-ran who is now very much back in the running.
