Former UFC Heavyweig꧟ht Champion Andrei Arlovski is back in action at UFC Fight Night Fort Lauderdale, facing Augusto Sakai in a heavyweight division affair.
Arlovski, who has compet꧙ed for nearly two decades as a professional MMA fighter, plans on competing for another four to five yea🃏rs.
“Best-case scenario, (I want to keep doing this for) maybe four, five more years,” Arlovski told . “We’ll see. I still have, like, at age 40, I’m training more than I used to train when I was 25. Every morning, when I wake up in camp, I remember what I want. I want to be champion of the world again. I got a few losses right now, I think it’s like 50-50, but fact is I lost a couple of fights and I’m just in the beginning of my way again.”
The f💫ormer heavyweight champion is currently in the midst of his second run wꦆith the UFC, holding a 6-8-0 record during that time period.
Even though he has been competing for almost two decades now, one thin🌳g Arlovski still has is the fire to continue fighting.
“I just still have some stuff to do and I feel like I still have fire in my eyes I still have energy,” Arlovski said. “My body feels good, so why not?”
UFC Figh𒅌t Night Fort Lauderdale takes place on Saturday, April 27 from the BB&T Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida with Ronaldo Souza and Jack Hermansson headlining. Fightful is providing live coverage of the event, which airs live on ESPN.
