Video: 46-year-old Andrei Arlovski gets cut stoppage win in Dirty Boxing Championship debut

Andrei Arlovski started the final chapter of his combat sports career after exiting the UFC in 2024 when he competed Saturday at Dirty Boxing Championship.

The promotion, which is headed by UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones and Mike Perry, features mixed rules of standup techniques and ground strikes. Former UFC heavyweight champion Arlovski was part of the card in Miami, and he got the victory over by doctor's stoppage TKO over Terrance Hodges.

Arlovski picked his shots over the opening round, then in the second landed an elbow that sliced Hodges on the forehead. The action was halted, and after the fighter was examined, it was stopped.

"It was a great f*cking fight," Arlovski said in his post-fight interview with Jason Anik. "Old guys will keep it rolling."
