He lost to ricco when he was in his prime and rizzo was knocking everyone out at the time. He lost to sylvia in his prime and really lost to Fedor because of a stupid mistake on his behalf. As for brett rogers call me an idiot but I really believe he has more power in his hands than anybody else in the whole division. I think people are too hard on arlovski. i'd still pay to see arlovski fight. To bad the ufc didn't want him back i would really love to see him face crocop, That would be awsome. i dont know why so many people claim that arlovski has a glass chin.

He already changed his mind earlier in the Year he said the only guy I've regretted losing in the 8 years he's been in this business was Arlovski. Now he available and he's not interested. So much for how much he regretted losing him. I'm always interested in watching a Andrei Arlovski fight. Weak chin or not you'd think he'll be a hot commodity but he's still probably asking for a lot of money even after back to back losses. Sylvia on the other hand might come at a big bargain after being humbled by 48 year old Ray Mercer. He probably just wants to get back to fighting again to redeem himself. As much as he comes across as a big oaf who wants to be loved by the fans he's still a quality heavyweight. I mean let's face it it's by far the most talent starved division in all of MMA. I'd like to see that Sylvia/Buentello fight that was originally planned for Affliction but was scrapped after Tim was knocked on his ass by Mercer. “Maybe after a few more wins Dana will change his mind.”

He looked good against Fedor up until he got KOd. Its not like the UFCs HW division is so stacked they can pick and choose really. It is by far their weakest division.

I respect andrei for that, he has proven to be an excellent fighter in the past. Brett Rogers is on a terror as of late, and I think he can knock just about anyones head off at this point. I think Brett MIGHT have some trouble on the ground but thats about it. You can't get on Arlovski's case for losing to Fedor that's insane.

He tried to get fancy and got not just caught, but bludgeoned by an out of nowhere Fedor bomb. He was working him pretty good too, until that moment. Personally, I'd like to see a rematch. Wether you guys think it's warranted or not, I think that fight had, and still has, a lot of potential. I still believe in the guy. I still think that fire is there.

Kind of creepy actually. I can't blame the UFC for not being interested in AA anymore. I can't say that I'm all that interested anymore either. I guess he can continue to make good footage for Knockout highlight reels though. Best Knockout shows are always fun to watch. At the rate he is going, soon there will be one all with AA getting knocked to the canvas. That is a horrible picture. Kind of creepy actually.

Exhibit B, is Jorge Gurgel, a Brazilian Blackbelt, who thinks he is a striker, and what did it get him, a quick exit out of UFC. I think Kos has fallen into this as well, I'm a proponent of Dance with the one who brought you. As Pat Barry says "Everyone thinks they are a striker, until they get hit by a real striker" Good point ozz, look at Sherk’s loss to Frank Edgar, if he had used his wrestling I think he wins that fight, instead he thinks he needs to stand and fight.

I think thats where Wanderlei may have started to go wrong. Wandy is, by far, my favorite fighter ever, and I will cheer him even in defeat. I just think that when a fighter begins to cater to what the fans want, it all goes downhill from there. thoughts? I think alot of the problem stems from wanting to please the crowd.
