Video: Andrei Arlovski in attendance at UFC 188, responds to Ben Rothwell's call out

Streaking Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) heavyweight contender Ben Rothwell isn't wasting any time after his first-round submission win over Matt Mitrione last weekend in New Orleans (watch it), promptly calling out No. 4-ranked Andrei Arlovski for a 265-pound showdown later this year.

"I think Andrei Arlovski and I should dance," No. 8-ranked Rothwell said after his victory over Mitrione. "He's ranked fourth and some people are already talking about him getting the next title shot. I think him and I should fight next."

As for "The Pitbull?"

"It's totally up to UFC," Arlovski replied with a smile.
