ANDREI ARLOVSKI VS CHASE SHERMAN LOWDOWN
Andrei Arlovski (30-20(2)) replaces Parker Porter as if he is a newcomer needing an opportunity. He is actually the longest serving UFC fighter making his debut over 21 years ago. He is still slugging it out with the new young blood and picking up wins. He picked up unanimous decisions over Philip Lins and Tanner Boser but met one young gun with too much firepower. He took on Tom Aspinall two months getting outclassed and eventually submitted in the second round.
Although he only fought once last year, Chase Sherman (15-6) has been on a resurgence since getting cut from the UFC in 2018. He went on a three-fight skid losing to Shamil Abdurakhimov, Justin Willis and Augusto Sakai to go 2-5 in the UFC. However, he picked up three knockouts in a row under the Island Fights banner and won his comeback fight against Ike Villanueva with a second-round knockout.
ANDREI ARLOVSKI VS CHASE SHERMAN PREDICTION
They match up very similarly physically but Arlovski has done the hard yards sharing the cage with the best. Sherman was very active up until last year including his bare knuckle fights in 2019 but he has not had any notable wins for years.
This will be a technical and slow-paced fight on the feet. They both have the power to find the knockout but Arlovski is more seasoned and has the technique to bag the rounds at least. He takes the fight on short notice so the value is with Sherman as the underdog, but we are expecting another Arlovski decision.
