Andrei Arlovski Set for First Fight Since UFC Exit
Briefly

Andrei Arlovski, a former UFC heavyweight champion, is set to fight Terrance Hodges on March 22 under the Dirty Boxing promotion after parting ways with the UFC last year. This match follows Arlovski's last bout, a split-decision loss at UFC 303. Known for his storied career, including multiple fights in top organizations, Arlovski remains competitive into his 40s.

A former heavyweight champion, Arlovski fulfilled his last UFC contract with a split-decision loss against Martin Buday at UFC 303 this past July.
The Belarusian fought for multiple organizations outside the UFC from 2008 to 2013, including Affliction, EliteXC, Strikeforce and World Series of Fighting.
The 41-year-old Hodges owns a 2-7 mark in MMA, with his last appearance coming in a unanimous decision loss to Mohammad Usman at Titan FC 63 in August 2020.
