UFC 225 is going down inside the United Center for the Chicago crowd, featuring a series of exciting match ups. Among them, former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski and fellow competitor Tai Tuivasa are now throwing down for division dominance.
The fight opened up with a bang, as Tuivasa managed to get his opponent to the canvas. Back on their feet, Tuivasa managed to drop the former champion with a brutal left hand. This was seemingly a dominant round for Tuivasa.
In the second round, the two mixed martial artists largely kept things on the feet. From there, Arlovski began to go on the offensive.
The former champion landed some stunning combinations, but Tuivasa continued to retaliate with a series of powerful counters. For five minutes, the two fighters managed to enrapture the Chicago crowd with a brutal exchange.
In the final round, the pace appeared to slow significantly. Both fighters were seemingly exhausted from their ten minutes of competition.
