People make jokes about his chin blah blah, but alot of them would have put almost any fighter out. Especially his first lost, a vicious shot and Flying into Fedors right hand with your chin down lol

Shit happens. People get knocked out all the time, especially in a fighting sport with 4oz gloves and kicks,knees and elbows to the head.

Theres nothing to make me think he couldnt hang with or beat the likes of Mir/Kongo/Velasquez/CC and others so id love to see him back in the UFC

AA/Kongo
AA/CC- not the hype it once had, but Id still watch it
AA/ Dos Santos

all have fireworks written on em if you ask me
I'm glad I took the time to read through the other posts instead of basically just typing the same thing more or less, haha.

I couldn't agree more; While I don't see him beating Lesnar at this point, nor do I see him beating Big Nog or Carwin; I definitely think he has the tools to hang with or beat any of the other heavyweights the UFC has at this point. I think if he'd been with the Jackson Camp for a full training camp, then the Rogers fight would've gone done completely differently. I think if Arlovski wants to make a serious run again, now's the time to put up or shut up, and the best way to step it up would be for him to join a serious elite level training camp/team like a Jacksons MMA or ATT, even Xtreme Couture would be beneficial for him. I've always been a big fan of Arlovski's, so I'm hoping he can get it back together and get back in the UFC for one more run at the title, but I don't see it happening unless he gets serious and works with a team for a full camp and on a regular basis.
