Andrei Arlovski Confronts His Childhood on MTV's "Bully Beatdown" Thursday

Fighters.com’s tenth-ranked heavyweight “Pitbull” Andrei Arlovski (14-7) will whoop a 6’4″, 280-pound bully called “Nathan, the Big Nasty” Thursday night at 9:30 PM EST on “Bully Beatdown” on MTV.
The experience was particularly sentimental to the former UFC champion because when Arlovski was a boy he was bullied and beat-up often. Before the age of 14, Arlovski had never fought back. But in 1994, he had finally had enough and started lifting weights to put on muscle to help him deal with the bullies. Two years later, Arlovski began training in Sambo. By 2005, Arlovski had beaten “Maine-iac” Tim Sylvia (24-6) at UFC 51 for the UFC title.
Arlovski promised five submissions and a knockout on the program that pits neighborhood bullies versus professional fighters.

andre the peoples champ!!
Every guys’ dream to knock out a childhood bully. Very cool.
joey man it is my dream to knock out a bully it would be fuckin radical man
Agreed!
Arlovski is still the most talented stand up fighter in the world in my mind. His hands are very fluid and percise. He should have no problem here. WARLOVSKI.
It wasn’t his childhood bully that he beat up. He fought on the show “Bully Beat Down” where he beat up someone else’s bully to earn them money.
Wow, I wanna see this episode. I too had bullies growing up…I wish I could KILL them.
andrei is the best! I have never seen a more perfectly proportioned man.I was bullied lots by older boys, i was a strong girl & learned to fight back.I used to stick up for others.I strongy approve the bullies getting their asses kicked!
