So what's happening? We have Former Ultimate Fighting Champion (UFC) Heavyweight champions, Andrei Arlovski & Josh Barnett.
Barnett has been away from fight action after losing his last bout. Arlovski rose to the top five before two knockout losses to the champion and No 1 contender.
Fight record:
Andrei Arlovski:
Record: 26 - 12 (1)
Best wins: Travis Browne, Frank Mir, Antonio Silva.
Worst losses: Stipe Miocic, Alistair Overeem, Anthony Johnson.
Skills: Still one of the fastest men in the heavyweight division. Uses Sambo skill and big right hand.
Josh Barnett:
Best wins: Frank Mir, Roy Nelson, Randy Couture.
Worst losses: Travis Browne, Ben Rothwell, Daniel Cormier.
Skills: A technical fighter and not the quickest or strongest heavyweight. A southpaw and will be looking to use brute force than get his opponent on the mat.
Only one of these fighters can be a contender for the heavyweight title.
Arlovski has only lost against the best but taken some hard losses in his career. If he can win this and a couple more bouts he should have a chance at the title.
Barnett is looking in great form and I would give him a slight edge to win this fascinating fight.
