Arlovski's career has had its ups and downs. In his last 10 fights he won six in a row, during which time he was re-signed to the UFC, then has lost his last four, all inside the distance, three TKOs and one sub, the first of his career. He's now 38 years old with 39 career fights, 25-14.
Marcin to be quite honest is one of these middle of the road younger HWs, all of whom UFC tries to sign so that the ones who turn out good don't end up in another organisation. He's 31 years old, 15-2 in his career and 2-1 in the UFC, lost a close decision to Timothy Johnson for his debut and then has KOed Pesta and TKOed Luis Henrique in his last two. I actually picked him to beat TJ and he did come into his own more and more as the fight went on, he is fast and his striking is sharp, he is also quite well rounded he does have a sub game.
So in terms of attributes the fight is quite well matched, they are both fast all rounders from the Eastern European school with crisp striking. Arlovski is ranked 9th and Tybura 14th. Arlovski would have destroyed Tybura a few years ago but at this point sadly I think I have to go with Tybura.
