Arlo Rochester Receives Title Shot

Fighter profile of Arlo Rochester by Gut Punch

 Arlo Rochester has been the definition of a journeyman. Thus far as an 11-9 fighter who has never had more than a 3 fight win streak, yet never more than a 2 fight losing streak, Rochester has bounced around from org to org, mostly in Japan. Now a competitor at Odense in Amsterdam, Rochester has received the first title shot of his career, as he is set to face Max Holloway for the Lightweight Championship. Despite the lofty expectations of his manager, Arlo seems remarkably calm about the upcoming fight, buzzing; 

“Didn't think i'd ever get a title fight! Just going to enjoy the week leading up to it. Win or lose, just getting this opportunity shows how far my career has come.”

Later on his podcast The Flower Power Hour, Rochester again addressed the title fight, saying;

“I’m stoked about it, but it’s also not really any different than a normal fight man. Like, I don’t need something shiny to validate my career you know? Actually I’d kinda prefer it if it wasn’t so shiny. Maybe I’ll spray paint it a nice forest green color.”
