Andrei Arlovski vs. Tom Aspinall
UFC Heavyweight Bout – Preliminary Card
Saturday, February 20, 2021 – 09:05 PM EST at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas
Andrei Arlovski
Andrei “the Pitbull” Arlovski is a Belarusian-American mixed martial artist that began his professional MMA career in 1999. He has competed for Strikeforce, World Series of Fighting (WSOF), Affliction, EliteXC, ONE FC, M-1 Challenge, and currently the UFC where he is also a former UFC Heavyweight Champion. He has many other accomplishments from throughout the years other than the UFC – he is the first Belarusian champion in UFC history, has won Fight of the Night two times, Performance of the Night once, the most fights and wins in UFC heavyweight history, and also the highest takedown defense in UFC heavyweight history.
Tom Aspinall
Tom Aspinall is an English mixed martial artist currently fighting in the UFC heavyweight division. He made his first UFC debut recently in July 2020 – at UFC on ESPN 14: Whittaker vs Till – against Jake Collier where he won via TKO in the first round.
Prediction
For this fight, it’s hard to bet against the heavy-favorite in Tom Aspinall. Yes, Andrei Arlovski (30-19-0, 2 NC) is a legendary MMA veteran. But if you look at his fights since 2016, he has 9 losses, 5 wins, and 1 no contest. He has fought against the toughest of the tough in the heavyweight division in Stipe Miocic, Alistair Overeem, Francis Ngannou, Augusto Sakai, and many more. His most recent wins have been in 2020 against Philipe Lins and Tanner Boser.
Yet when we look into the rising Top Aspinall, you will be so amazed. He currently holds a professional record of 9 wins and 2 losses. Of his 9 wins, 8 have been round 1 T/KO’s! That is such an impressive stat to hold. He comes into any fight ready to end it early. Of his last 5 fights, his longest fight was 1 minute and 35 seconds.
There’s no doubt Tom Aspinall is going to enter the ring on Saturday night and try to end the legendary Arlovski as
UFCPicks:
- Tom Aspinall –245
- Tom Aspinall in Round 1 by KO/TKO or DQ +225

Ketlen Vieira vs. Yana Kunitskaya
UFC Women’s Bantamweight Bout – Co-Main
Saturday, February 20, 2021 - 08:05 PM EST at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas
Ketlen Vieira
Ketlen “Fenomeno” Vieira is a Brazilian mixed martial artist currently ranked #6 in the UFC Women’s Bantamweight division. Vieira starting training Brazilian jiu-jitsu and Judo at a very young age, and earned a black belt in both practices. She made her first professional MMA debut in 2014 at Circuito de Lutas: Fight Night 4. She fought under Mr. Cage Championships and won the Mr. Cage bantamweight title.
Yana Kunitskaya
Yana “Foxy” Kunitskaya is a Russian mixed martial artist currently ranked #7 in the UFC Women’s Bantamweight division. Similar to Vieira, Kunitskaya began her MMA practice early in her childhood. She started off training in taekwondo, then moved on to competing in hand-to-hand combat where she was undefeated for some time. Her first professional debut was in 2009 at the K-1 World Grand Prix event in Poland where she won via TKO against Magdalena Jarecka. Moving forward in her professional career, she was once the Invicta FC Bantamweight Champion and also won Performance of the Night twice – vs. Tonya Evinger and Raquel Pa’aluhi. She also was the UKADO World Champion in 2007, Russian Taekwondo Champion in 2007, Bushido Women’s MMA Champion in 2010, and Russian Muay Thai Champion in 2011.
Prediction
For the co-main event, Yana Kunitskaya (13-5-0, 1NC) is the underdog with odds at +230. She is 3-2 in her last 5 fights with wins against Lina Lansberg, Marion Reneau, and Julija Stoliarenko – all via unanimous decision. Her last two losses were by TKO against Christiane Justino and Aspen Ladd.
Ketlen Vieira (11-1-0) is 4-1 in her last 5 fights, with her most recent and only loss being in 2019 against Irene Aldana via KO. Her most recent win was against Sijara Eubanks in 2020 – at UFC 253: Adesanya vs. Costa – where she won by unanimous decision. In her last 7 fights, she won 5 via decision and 1 via submission. Vieira is a heavy boxer – take a look at her most recent fight against Eubanks. You can see the strength behind each punch she threw while outclassing Eubanks for 3 rounds.
Kunitskaya tends to be an underrated fighter in my opinion. She is able to control a fight by putting a tremendous amount of pressure on her opponent. But if her opponent can escape the pressure and take the control away from Foxy, then it's game over for her – look at her fight against Cris Cyborg in 2018. I don’t think this fight will end inside the distance. Vieira will remain in control and beat the Russian at her own game. Expect Ketlen Vieira to go the distance. I am adding Ketlen Vieira to my parlay at –270. I am also taking Ketlen Vieira to win by Points at –125.
UFC Picks:
- Ketlen Vieira –270
- Ketlen Vieira by Points –125
