If you had any doubts about the toughness of MMA fighters, even faded stars like Arlovski, take a look at the picture above and think again.
Arlovski fought in the main event of World Series of Fighting 2 on Saturday night, against an Anthony ‘Rumb;e’ Johnson making his heavyweight debut. Arlovski took some meaty thumps in the first round and suffered a fractured jaw and some missing teeth.
He fought on for the remaining two rounds, losing a unanimous decision after taking more shots on the broken jaw. He didnt get the W, but he did mark himself out as inhumanly tough.
