Somewhere down the line, Arlovski will get the Vera/Mir winner, probably in December of January. First off, though, he's going to need to beat someone in the meanwhile, perhaps at UFC 63 or 64. Should he win, an Arlovski fight against either Vera or Mir is good for the fans, and for everyone. Chances are that it will be a title eliminator, and people have been wanting to see Arlovski/Mir for a long time. They probably would have fought at UFC 51, 53, or 55 had Mir not been messed up still from that bike crash. Not only that, but this fight would probably only happen if Mir beats Vera, indicating that he's back, because he won't beat Vera if he puts on another performance like he did against Dan Christison. On the other hand, Arlovski/Vera is a very intriguing, evenly matched fight. Both of them are explosive, athletic heavyweights with heavy strikes and strong ground games. That would have a chance of being a Fight of the Year candidate in my opinion.
