Dino Costeas has worked with Andrei “The Pitbull” Arlovski for 10 years
and knows when something’s not right.
He accompanied Arlovski to Freddie Roach’s Wild Card
Boxing Gym along with trainers Mike Garcia and John Kading just
three-and-a-half weeks before the Belarusian’s fight with Brett Rogers
at “Strikeforce: Lawler vs. Shields” this past June. He and Arlovski’s
other trainers were aghast at what they saw.
“We were out there for three-and-a-half weeks, and the whole time, we
were like, ‘This is a bust,'” Costeas told MMAjunkie.com. “Every night I wanted to drink a bottle of
tequila.”
