So this was a pretty good fight. The first round was quite even, and then in round 2 Arlovksi was like, "Wait, I'm better than this bloke!" so he went beat-em-up and got a slight advantage.

So this was a pretty good fight. The first round was quite even, and then in round 2 Arlovksi was like, "Wait, I'm better than this bloke!" so he went beat-em-up and got a slight advantage. But Miocic came back and levelled Arlovski, putting him on the ropes going into the 4th round. At that point, Arlovski was more or less dead on his feet, and Miocic went in and finished shop as efficiently as he could. Though it still took 4 mins, because Miocic is not great or something?
