UFC president Dana White could only praise Andrei Arlovski following his win last night.

Arlovski took on rising prospect Tanner Boser in the co-main event of UFC Vegas 13 on Saturday. Despite being 41 years of age — and 12 years the senior of Boser — Arlovski enjoyed an impressive performance and managed to earn the unanimous decision victory over the Canadian.

And when asked for his thoughts on Arlovski’s win in the post-fight press conference, White had particular praise for the former champion’s chin.

“Listen, that guy has been here for 20 years, and to still be competing at that level and be pulling off a win tonight its pretty impressive,” White said (via MMA Junkie). “It seems like to me that his chin has gotten better, which is not supposed to happen. It doesn’t work that way. But yeah, he looked good tonight.

“He’s going to be walking rough for the next few days, but for his age, what that guy has been through and everything else, he looked good tonight. I was happy for him. He’s a good guy.”

With that victory, Arlovski is on a winning streak again for the first time since early 2018. He has also won three of his last four outings overall.

Another title shot seems unlikely at this point, but the Belarusian can certainly continue fighting top-level opponents at this rate. And as far as his chin is concerned, he is certainly showing to be more durable later on in his career as he has only suffered one knockout defeat in his last 11 fights.

Andrei Arlovski Edges Tanner Boser – UFC Vegas 13 Results

In the UFC Vegas 13 co-main event we have a crossroads fight in the heavyweight division. MMA legend Andrei Arlovski is looking to make it two wins on the bounce. The 41-year-old will need to get by surging contender Tanner Boser who will be hoping to stretch his own winning run to three. Who’ll get […]

Round 1: A really tentative start from both men. As the first minute closes out Tanner Boser throws a low leg kick which is nicely checked by Andrei Arlovski. Boser continues to go low with his kicks. Arlovski comes over the top with a nice counter. He goes high with a kick that is blocked by Boser who tries one of his own moments later. He then lands a nice overhand left – the most significant strike of the fight. Not a lot is happening. Both men are waiting for the other to go first. A real kick heavy first round. Boser has probably been more effective with his low kicks but nothing really for either fighter to brag about. As the final seconds tick down Arlovski scores with a huge punch before the horn sounds.

Round 2: Arlovski and Boser trade low kicks at the start of round two. More than 90 seconds into the second stanza and it’s still all low leg kicks. Arlovski goes high with a tricky kick. Boser tries one of his own but it doesn’t quite hit the mark. The pair clash and it appears the veteran got the better of the exchange. Arlovski follows it up with a straight right down the pipe. Boser is a bit more energetic now but he’s not really getting off with anything. He eats a heavy inside leg kick from Arlovski. Boser swings wildly over the top, misses and Arlovski tries to make him pay up the middle but seems to miss too. The final 10 seconds burst to life. Boser scores a nice body shot but he’s counters well. The 41-year-old tries a spinning attack as round two comes to a close.

Round 3: This fight is on the line right now and both men seem to recognize that. A much better pace at the start of round three. Boser is pressing forward. He continues with the leg attacks but is doing a better job of mixing in his strikes up top. Arlovski doesn’t like it and tries to regain the forward momentum but its stopped by a spinning back-fist from his opponent. Boser touches him with a hook round the guard of the former champ. Arlovski swarms forward. He follows it up with a big shot over the top. Boser is still rattling off those leg kicks on a badly bruised leg of Arlovski. The legend steams forward again to land some big shots. This fight is going to the judges.

Andrei Arlovski will face a stern test in his next outing.

As per MMA Fighting, the former UFC heavyweight champion is set to take on rising prospect Tanner Boser on the upcoming October 3 show.

As of now, there is no official confirmation of the fight or a location for the event either. The news was first reported by TSN.

Arlovski will be looking to establish another winning streak as he is coming off a unanimous decision win over Philipe Lins at UFC Jacksonville back in May. He was previously knocked out by Jairzinho Rozenstruik at UFC 244 last November.

Boser, meanwhile, has been very active the last few months with back-to-back TKO wins over Lins in June and Raphael Pessoa last month. In total, the 29-year-old Canadian is 3-1 with the UFC as he will now look to earn the biggest win of his career over a legend in Arlovski.

A women’s bantamweight bout between Germaine de Randamie and Julianna Pena is also slated for the October 3 card. However, there is no official word on what fight will be headlining the event as of now.
