2 – Andrei Arlovski
In 2016-17, when Andrei Arlovski went 0-5 with three knockout losses, I don’t think anyone would have bet that “The Pit Bull” would be 3-1 in his last four and still turning back prospects in 2021 at the age of 42. But here is, leaving his often-reckless style of the past in the past while implementing solid gameplans and outworking younger foes on a regular basis. That’s quite a tale being written by the former heavyweight champion, and I can’t wait to see where he takes it next.
