arlovski to sign with affliction and fight ben rothwell?

[Bluto]

“May 19 is the day when Andrei Arlovski could sign with Affliction, SI.com has learned. That is, assuming the UFC declines to match what is believed to be a deal that pays the former UFC champion in the low-to-mid six figures for the first of three non-exclusive bouts…. Should Arlovski and Affliction complete their deal, the Belarusian is expected to appear at next Tuesday’s press conference at the in Century City, Calif., to announce a fight against former International Fight League heavyweight champion Ben Rothwell.”

I hope this is true.  Arlovski doesn't have any where else to go in UFC.  If he signs with Affliction it only makes their already stellar line up even more impressive.  As the card looks now, Afflictions first show has the potential to be the card of the year even if it does have Sylvia fighting.

Card of the year?  Wow, who is on the card?  Who do they have signed?  I don't personally think Arlovski versus Ben Rothwell is a very interesting fight.  I think Arlovski will beat the shit out of him.  Rothwell is a minor leaguer, he would get smoked in the UFC.  But that is just my opinion, of course.

See I think you will see a great fight if this matchup happens... Arlovski needs to do something other then UFC anyways.. He is not the pitbull of old, or maybe he is and the compitetion is just better then what it was. I just think him and Ben would be a good fight... I'd pay to see it...

Amen to that.

Rothwell is a fcuking joke.

Never seen a guy getting his record boosted the way this guy has.

Does he ever fight tough competition anymore?

This is a guy that was outclassed by fcuking Dan Christenson for fcuks sake.
