Three Surprising Things From UFC Fight Night 136: Moscow

#2 UFC Fight Night 136 marked the first time in his 18 year UFC career that Andrei Arlovski fought close to his homeland, Belarus

Andrei Arlovski - Ran to the Octagon for his fight with Shamil Abdurakhimov

Former UFC Heavyweight Champion, Andrei Arlovski, incredibly fought close to his homeland Belarus for the first time in his 18 year UFC career, having debuted with the promotion way back in the year 2000.

Most surprisingly though was that Arlovski chose to mark the occasion by running to the Octagon to the sound of the USSR national anthem playing him to the eight-sided ring.

It was an incredible moment that for sure would have been so much more memorable for the Belorussian had he managed to defeat his Russian opponent, Shamil Abdurakhimov.
