Former heavyweight champ Andrei
Arlovski will square off against rising prospect Tom
Aspinall at UFC Fight Night on Feb. 20.
The Las Vegas-based promotion announced the matchup on Tuesday. UFC
Fight Night is headlined by a heavyweight clash between Curtis
Blaydes and Derrick
Lewis, but an official location has yet to be revealed for the
event.
A veteran of 32 UFC bouts, Arlovski has been victorious in three of
his last four promotional appearances. The 41-year-old Belarusian
went 2-0 in 2020, posting unanimous decision triumphs against
Philipe
Lins and Tanner
Boser. Prior to that, Arlovski was winless in four fights from
June 2018 to November 2019.
Aspinall, a former Cage Warriors standout, enters the matchup with
Arlovski on a five-bout winning streak that includes first-round
stoppages of Jake
Collier and Alan Baudot
in his first two UFC appearances. The 28-year-old Englishman is 9-2
as a professional and has finished all of his victories inside the
distance.
