But after a restart, Silva shot in for a double leg and ended up backed up against the cage again. The action returned to center ring and Arlovski finally began throwing and landing with kicks. But Silva answered with a hard jab to close the round's action.

Arlovski landed a good high kick but Silva got a take down towards the end of the round that seemingly sealed the decision.

Arlovski has lost three straight fights since leaving the UFC. His career is in tatters.
