It wasn’t a spectacular win for Walt Harris in UFC 232 prelim action at The Forum in Inglewood Saturday night, but it was the biggest of the heavyweight prospect’s career, as he scored a three-round split decision over former world champion Andrei Arlovski.
Harris (12-7) had a strong opening round, consistently beating Arlovski to the punch, but “The Pit Bull” took the shots well and kept moving forward.
After a brief halt to the action due to an eye poke by Harris, Arlovski (27-18, 1 NC) found himself taken down in the second minute of round two, but he got back to his feet quickly.
