Arlovski Dominates Rothwell in Knucklemania 6 Trilogy Bout

Andrei Arlovski, 47, secured a decisive victory over BKFC heavyweight champion Ben Rothwell, 44, in their bare-knuckle boxing trilogy match on Saturday at the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia. This marks Arlovski's third win against Rothwell, having previously bested him by decision and knockout.

Throughout the contest, Arlovski consistently out-landed Rothwell, delivering powerful and effective strikes. Rothwell sustained a significant V-shaped cut on his forehead and noticeable bruising around his eye, prompting a time-out in the third round.

The ringside physician ultimately stopped the fight due to concerns about Rothwell's vision, resulting in Arlovski's win in his second fight within the organization.

In the co-main event of Knucklemania 6, Lorenzo Hunt defeated David Mundell by fourth-round domination. This outcome could potentially set up a highly anticipated bout between Hunt and Mike Perry. Such a fight would be a significant event for pound-for-pound bragging rights and a championship title within BKFC.
