I think AA will be fine no matter where he wants to fight. He has the ability to beat just about anyone if his game is on. I don't know if anyone agrees with me, but I would like to see AA vs Fedor probably more than any fight out there. They are both animals with awesome Sambo skills, and both of them can just go in there and scrap. I just can't think of a better heavyweight fight than that. I am a Fedor fan all the way, but you can't deny how dangerous AA can be...

Fedor would kill AA. Fedor has fought the best HWs in MMA and UFCs HWs are no where near the caliber of Prides............please lets get some truth and stop favoritism

I admit I am biased toward AA he has had his moments where he did exposed (Ricco Rodriguez and Sylvia I and II) the only fights for him right now at hw in UFC would be either Vera or Mir (yes Mir appears to be a has been )but the name appeal alone makes the fight a must see. Truthfully best case for AA is to go to Pride whether he can or cant beat top Pride HWs we dont know till he goes there as far as pure athleticism for a big man AA is hard to match and if he is Pride with fantastic talent he will either raise his to match or falter.

Amazing how UFC built AA up to be this "unbeatable monster". I mean, who did he fight? LOL.

As soon as he is met with some mediocre competition, likes of Sylvia, the guy folds and hides somewhere. I would hate to be him.

I mean, does UFC have a place for him now? He's still the #2 guy in the HWs IMO. So they go with AA-Sylvia 4??!

UFC is ridiculous.

I guess you weren't paying attention whenever I said I was a Fedor fan. I just tend to think of realistic advantages and match ups, and the truth of the matter is they have similar backgrounds and everyone is capable of losing, NO ONE is indestructable. Fedor will end up losing sometime, not because he isn't the best out there but because that is life. Everyone loses sometimes and someone with the potential of AA has as good of a chance as anyone at beating him. AA is ranked as one of the best heavyweights in the world for a reason, not because he is a fan favorite with fang mouthpieces and looks like a wolfman, it's because he's a badass and he wins fights. He had a bit of bad luck lately, but everyone thought he was industructable just like Fedor until his luck ran out. I would put my money on Fedor, but you can't count someone like AA out so easily...

While it is true that PRIDE has a better and larger selection of HWs I would still love to see AA in the HW division for PRIDE. I would not want to see him go straight to the top against Cro Cop right off the bat though. I think he should test himself with lower ranked HWs first especially since its uncharted territory for him and new rules. He would be pushed harder and hopefully he'd adjust and therefore become a greater fighter. BTW I wonder when Tim Silvia will give AA another shot so we can see the big goofy bastard fall and give the rightful owner of the title back.

please don't compare Arlovski to Fedor. Arlovski is only 9-5. That's not a horrible record, but he isn't the monster that people make him out to be.
