Как сообщает сайт www.headkicklegend.com белорус Андрей Арловский дебютирует в К-1 2 октября в суперфайте финала 16.
If you didn’t already have a reason to watch King of the Cage on HDnet live, Michael Schiavello proves that you can never miss anything involving him or the HDnet team as he dropped a bit of a bombshell on us this evening. During the live broadcast Schiavello mentioned that on October 2nd in Seoul, Korea at the K-1 Final 16 Andrei Arlovski should be making his long-anticipated K-1 debut.
Сага Арловский и FEG началась около года назад. Сначала Арловский должен был драться в DREAM против Тима Силвы, затем он подписался на бой против Алистара Оверима в Dynamite!!, но менеджер голландца дал задний ход. В начале года ходили слухи, что белорус может драться с Барнеттом в DREAM. Сейчас же Арловский подписался на поединок по правилам К-1, соперник пока неизвестен.
Список бойцов ММА КроКоп, Сапп, Оверим, Харитонов, Манхуф должен пополнится еще и именем Андрея Арловского.

This marks as Arlovski’s first attempt at the kickboxing world’s most prestigious organization.
The Arlovski and FEG saga has been ongoing for about a year now, with Arlovski first rumored to be fighting Tim Sylvia at DREAM last year, with the fight falling through for both men. Then Arlovski and his camp signed on to fight Alistair Overeem at Dynamite!!, only for Bas Boon to decline the fight and FEG to decide it didn’t work with their SRC vs. DREAM theme for MMA fights anyway. There were rumors of a fight with Barnett earlier in the year, as well as fighting for the DREAM Heavyweight title against Alistair Overeem only for Arlovski’s camp to pull out of the fight when negotiations fell through.
Arlovski’s MMA career has been at a bit of a standstill after accumulating a bit of a losing streak, and his boxing career never took off as much as he might like, so entering into K-1 competition could be exactly what Arlovski needs to jumpstart his career. For many fans, his entrance into K-1 has been a pipe dream, which might now be a reality.
As always, until Tanikawa let’s the words escape his mouth at a presser, take it as a rumor with a chance of showers.
UPDATE: Schiavello again confirmed the Arlovski fight this morning on twitter: “BTW how fucking awesome are the next two weeks gonna be! DREAM 16, K-1 GP Final 16 with ARLOVSKI in super fight then K-1 Max all on HDNET!”
