i do agree that aa would not beat fedor but hed give the rest of the pride hw,s a good fight win or lose imo,remember when everyone was saying ricco would get tooled by nog and imo ricco did damn well and alot of people including myself thought he edged nog out in that fight

slippediskmountian · « **Reply #2 on:** March 16, 2006, 03:04:01 PM »

i thought ricco kicked nogs ass actually

arlovski is a big boy and it would be interesting to see how he does against aleks, nog, sergei, crocop(well

), hunt ....

i think this fight with Sylvia will be his last contract fight

...an inside source confirms that after fighting Tim he will be done with UFC. I bet Dana & Lorenzo will figure out a better deal, there's no way they can leave the division open like that.

They'll have to step up. The hvywt division is pretty dead w/o Arlovski...

It'll be interesting to see how good Arlovski is... To date he has fought nobody all that stellar at heavyweight. Lets put him against an Aleks, or even that idiot Thompson (warmup fight) and see how good he is.

thompson may look (and act) mentally retarded ... but i think he has actually brought up his game quite a bit ... hell get killed the moment he fights someone whose not a member of the freakshow, but at least hes trying

i rather see arlovski staying with ufc as i prefer ufc over pride.

Pride is so much better than UFC.

slippediskmountian · « **Reply #11 on:** March 17, 2006, 09:17:19 AM »

word! .... but try convincing a TUF newb of this

Bluto · « **Reply #12 on:** March 17, 2006, 09:32:58 AM »

huh i've been watching mma since day 1

I don't see AA leaving UFC, right now he's gettin paid to fight nothing but cans, that's easy money. However, 3X as much as UFC offers is something to think about.

slippediskmountian · « **Reply #14 on:** March 18, 2006, 08:07:18 AM »

i think youre assuming hes a pussy ... i bet andrei would like the opporitunity to fight the best (and get the bank to go with it)

Andre had something that you rarely see during his last fight

Its as very hard attribute to quantify and it was a very short fight but it was obvious

Its when someone is peakinng as an athlete and really has that crazy mind musle speed

I have seen it only a couple other times(early Couture), was it pedro who won UFC at 19 the phenom saw it then but he has lost it. See it in Floyd Maywhether we he fights

If he shows up at that level I would bet him to beat anyone

slippediskmountian · « **Reply #16 on:** March 19, 2006, 06:51:41 PM »

i think u mean he was fighting a "can"

Lion666 · « **Reply #17 on:** March 20, 2006, 07:03:24 AM »

what happens if aa wins retains title then goes to pride. how does ufc work out the next champ? does it go straight to #1 contender or is there a match between 1 & 2?

Scimowser · « **Reply #18 on:** March 20, 2006, 08:52:16 AM »

the top 2 fighters challenge for it

slippediskmountian · « **Reply #19 on:** March 20, 2006, 08:55:18 AM »

you get a "paper champion"

technically, like arlovski

Silvia.

There are actually about 6 or 7 really awesome up and coming Heavyweights, but I can count their wins on one hand. They need more experience. But watching their first couple fights, they are REALLY impressive. So they just have to milk it for time for another year or so.

Problem is Arlovski won't be the big name he is now if he moves. But you gotta do what's right for you. And if he's about the money go for it. If it's because he doesn't have enough opponents, then I also agree to go for it.

name them then and if you can count their wins on one hand where did you get the experience to call them awesome prospects ?

and arlovski only stands to gain noteriety if he went to pride not lose......

The same place you get your experience. Watching the fights over and over and over again....

Paul Buentello is 20:9
Marcio Cruz is 2 and 0. He beat Frank Mir last month.
Justin Eilers 9-5-1
Rashad Evans is 8 and 0 with one fight in the UFC at the end of TUF 2 against Brad Imes another hopeful. He's got lots of heart and is highly underrated.
Brandon Lee Hinkle is 14-7
Brad Imes 5-1
Jeff Monson is 20-5 and lost a fight by decision to Liddell back at UFC 29. He'd be good if they let him fight more.
Frank Mir is 8 and 2....honestly I think he'd be better if he dropped to LHW but he's just too tall. He's beat Tank and Sylvia in previous fights.
Pedro Rizzo. 13-5. Has a win over Tra Telligman. Beat Arlovski 4 years ago.
Assuero Silva is the most experienced at 30-3.
I like Tra Telligman, but he's a perpetual red-shirt.
Brandon Vera 5-0 heavy hands and great flexibility for a powerful kick
