Andrei Arlovski (23-10 MMA, 12-4 UFC) improved to 2-0 since making his return to the UFC with a thumping first-round knockout of Antonio Silva (18-6-1 MMA, 2-3-1 UFC) in Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 51 headliner at Nilson Nelson Gymnasium in Brasilia, Brazil. The former UFC heavyweight champion entered enemy territory as a considerable underdog, but pulled off his best performance in years and showed he’s still a force in the heavyweight division with the highlight-reel finish of “Bigfoot.” Arlovski thrived in the fifth main event of his UFC career, and as he clashed with Silva there were a number of fans, media and fighters in the MMA community followed on Twitter.
