Normally I’d say bet Arlovski by decision, but Vegas has caught on to his penchant for grinding wins, so the line isn’t much better. Arlovski excels at that same style of fight, and he’s still got enough savvy to avoid anything major coming back at him. Mayes is not the sort of explosive athlete that has troubled the former heavyweight champion in recent years, and we just saw Augusto Sakai use a clinch-grappling attack to stymie him in February. Arlovski has won seven of his previous 10 bouts, all by decision, and he’s got a good shot at making it eight of 11. Second all-time in UFC bouts (behind only Jim Miller), Arlovski made his UFC debut in 2000! And here he is, still rolling with the punches and mixing it up with low-level heavyweight opposition, winning more often than losing. This is a fight where Kara-France should show Albazi that there are levels to the game, and he’s a notch above.Īrlovski is the ageless wonder. On the feet, I don’t believe Albazi is as powerful or as crafty as Kara-France, and KKF has extremely good defensive wrestling.
But is Amir Albazi of that same ilk? I’m not sure.Īlbazi has an excellent record and has showed a ton of promise, but he has not faced nearly the opposition that Kara-France has, and lost to arguably the best guy he ever fought in Jose Torres. It was the second time Moreno has beaten Kara-France and laid out the main struggle the New Zealand fighter has faced in his career: He’s always fallen short when facing the best of the best. The last time we saw Kara-France, he came up short in an interim title fight against now undisputed champion Brandon Moreno.

Here's a look at the full results from the night and a closer look at each of the main card bouts. The card lost a huge lightweight fight in Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson, but it still featured the middleweight debut of Rashad Evans, some intriguing prospects and a huge heavyweight fight between Alistair Overeem and Mark Hunt. The championship fight wasn't the only notable action from UFC 209, though.
