Arlovski vs Aspinall
Round 1
Aspinall unleashes a fury of punches, stinging the ex-champ and hurting him badly. Arlovski absorbs them all, suffers a cut on his nose that is also likely broken again, and takes a few body shots before throwing back with a fury. Although he misses, he does inform Smith that he is still in the fight. Aspinall takes a deep breath and pins Arlovski against the fence to catch his breath, as he put a lot into chasing the finish. Arlovski pushes off and lands a few jabs, allowing Aspinall to land a pair of punches that catch Arlovski. The Belarusian fighter charges in with his own chain of punches, and Aspinall, with his hands at his waist, ducks and dodges them as he backs up against the cage.
