Good night for the old guard/Arlovski likely to get a W tonight/ProElite reminder

I think Jens is making a good point.

Arlovski is avoiding getting into the flurrys that have been leading to him getting knocked out. He is throwing a combo, clinching, and going for the takedown.

which he should be doing, i know he has good hands an all but he also has a great sambo game... at least he used to

Freak, what is the story with Lombard vs Taylor?

Damn...that was a hella tight guillotine.

Third avenged loss tonight.

I like how Jens does not waste his time asking questions for the fighters not to answer.

The fight is next Saturday September the 3rd.

Nice card. Got my MMA fill for the night with Rio and proelite as the night cap.

SF missed the boat on McMann. Though it probably won't matter in a few months. It would be interesting to see her in the mix with Tate and Kaufmann.

AA did what he was supposed to...glad to see him work his ground and pound and tune up his new gamplan rather than use a feeder opponent to make himself look like Lennox Lewis. Though you can't judge too much considering his opponent. I think we saw the beggining of a new approach, or maybe a throwback approach to fighting from AA. He's still fairly young and he's still a well rounded talent. He's been with Jackson a few fights now and i think they are finally snapping AA out of his Freddie Roach hypnosis and making him remember the days he was a mixed martial artist.

Does anyone think Arlovski will ever be a top 5 HW again?

No.

but i think he'll be able to put his recent stretch behind him and get back to being the highly regarded HW he's always been and get big fights again. I think we'll see him back in the UFC eventually.

I hope so. He's always been a fav of mine.

Yes Andrei, you will be champ again. The ProElite champ

I just don't see him making a splash anywhere else... i'd love to see it but

He could be Strikeforce champ.

umm what? he's gonna beat Bigfoot? Remember what Sergei did to him

In a year Overeem, Barnett, Werdum and Big Foot will all be in the UFC

SF will be a memory...

Damn, Shogun used Forrest's head as a basketball.

so remind me again why they would sign AA?

He will be on a 4 fight win streak against scrubs and be ranked in the top 10. (if it's good enough for Nick Diaz)

As long as Arlovski is an in shape HW he will always have the chance to KO his opponent.

If I recall he still has the designation of most being the most difficult UFC fighter to take down ever, granted at HW he has probably seen less attempts but, he fights at HW still so what ev.

His problem is his pseudo movement, it's like he moves just to move sometimes after the first few minutes then resorts to just forward or no effective movement. At HW it ain't about the chin, it's about the fact that just about every guy in that division has the power to destroy anyone's chin that serves it up to them.

If he can get stingy with his chin he could make noise again one day, but it likely will not come in a Zuffa owned organization if it does at all.
