Andrei Arlovski is coming off of a controversial victory over Jake Collier at UFC Vegas 53. Many people had Collier winning the fight but the judges opted for the former UFC heavyweight champion by split decision.

The UFC heavyweight spoke at the press conference after the fight and admitted he wasn't happy with his performance. Andrei Arlovski also admitted he was nervous as he was hearing the scorecards being read after the Jake Collier fight.

“The biggest pressure, I give it to myself,” Arlovski said via The Underground. “Because I’m pushing myself all the time. I’m just like, I guess I need to do even more. And now I have to be smarter.

“I have great coaches — Paulino Hernandez, Mike Brown, Steve Mocco — I just need to, again, put everything together. Like I’ve said before, I still have a small window, some small period of time. It’s just like, come on, guy — be serious. Do what you have to do.”

Andrei Arlovski is now on a long winning streak and things are going well for him. The UFC heavyweight has had a very long career and continues to find ways to win despite his older age.

“I’m 43 and still fighting,” Arlovski said with a smile.

It will have to be seen if Andrei Arlovski has one more title run left in his career and if he can beat some of the title contenders in the top five of the division. The UFC heavyweight was close to a title shot a few years ago and will be trying to get back to that position.
