But again it's all just a guessing game really. It would probably go down to who had the most impressive win out of the two as to who would get the title shot against Couture.

Nog hasn't held the PRIDE belt in 3 years and is coming off a shaky (but gutsy) decision win over Herring - who is basically a non-contender. It's going to be a very interesting few months in the HW division.

I'm interested in Karo but all the top contenders just fought or already have scheduled fights. This still looks like a fight night card to me.

I'd probably let the winner of a potential fight between Arlovski and Nog get a title shot. That way if Arlovski won at least signing him to a new deal for big money would certainly be worth it. If he lost to Nog then hey what are you gonna do, he lost to a really good fighter, and maybe you move him on to a Vera fight or something like that.

If so, fighting Arlovski might be a risky investment - Andrei is likely to be fighting with something to prove and for his future in the UFC - that could easily spell upset given the current MMA climate.

I say about the first week in October he pulls out. All jokes aside though I do hope he fights as him and Herman is an interesting fight. Ed definitely showed some development beating up on Scott Smith his last fight. I'd love to see the rumored match of Karo and Mach. I would think Mach would be a good draw in the NYC metropolitan area as well. Heck of a fight too! Big Nog vs. Arlovski would be huge on that card as well and something I've wanted to see since Nog was signed. But it certainly seems like the UFC is going to wait out Arlovski's contract until his demands come down from where they are. If we could get a 5 fight main event card of Penn/Stevenson, Ortiz/Evans, Arlovski/Nog, Parisyan/Sakurai, and Edgar/Fisher I'd be all for it. Ok, when does the David Terrell injury countdown begin?
