Former UFC star Andrei Arlovski got a big win in his bare-knuckle debut at BKFC 76.
The opening round saw Copeland landing the more significant strikes, though he was he who was left with a bloody nose after what appeared to be a clash of heads during an exchange.
Keeping Copeland at bay with his jab, Arlovski was content to sit back and counterstrike, and Copeland repeatedly tried to bull his way inside. With only a few seconds left in the third, the former UFC heavyweight champion landed a thudding right hook that busted open Copeland above his right eye.
