Arlovski’s Misfits debut: patient pressure, brutal payoff
For three rounds, Andrei Arlovski poked and prodded, testing pace and exits. Then he found the read he wanted—pinning Kelechi “Kelz” Dyke on the ropes and uncorking a right hand that shut the lights. The former UFC titleholder didn’t need volume; one clean shot solved the equation.

How the finish unfolded
Arlovski steered Kelz into short corners with the jab and a faint step to his right, then snapped a straight right over the guard. Kelz slumped into the ropes and dropped; the ref waved it. In a four-round showcase, the timing couldn’t be tighter—last round, last word.
