If he leaves great, then that'll mean Fedor gets to fight him. I hope anyway but time will tell. Hopefully things will get smoothed out but if not he does have options.

how the fuck can they put Diego on the card above arlovski. Fuck this I'm pissed.

And Herring vs Kongo over Arlovski? Fuck you UFC.

It Sux,but what are you going to do?
This just oozes Dana's sliminess.If a fighter doesn't have his nose nestled in white's ass he gets pushed into the shadows to make it easier to get rid of him.Dana White is a snake plain,and simple.

HAHAHAHA are you serious? Stop acting like an "insider" and realize it's BUSINESS. Why would they broadcast a fighter resume for the world to see? They're not going to promote Arlovski's fight because it would make him command more money if everyone else saw the outcome. If he did well, he'd turn and ask the UFC for more money because of the exciting fight he put forth. At least this way, if it's good, no other companies will see it for a while (technically- (God bless the Internet)).

Put The Okami Fight as a prelim instead and AA as the main. I always seem to find Okami's fights as boring as they get no matter who his opponent is... I hope Tanner knees his head off!

I understand the business aspect, but that doesn't make it any less of a disgrace. Arlovski has done a lot for the UFC, especially in the late pre-TUF era. Whether he leaves or not the man deserves better. The UFC could have stepped up and shown some respect but they decided to bury him in the prelims and undoubtedly fuck over the PPV fans...you know there is no way they'll show that fight even if they have time....well, maybe if A.A. loses, which I can't see happening.

A.A. does not strike me as an egotistical money grubbing lout. If he was asking for too much money, hey - so be it, they part ways, but maybe Dana & co. should stop and consider burning bridges can happen on both ends. There's a right way, an acceptable way, and a WRONG way to do things - UFC is in the wrong on this one.

Exactly. Treating their fighters like this is a good business in the short run, but in the the long run, it'll just help motivate fighters to jump ship when a org that is close to competing with the UFC arises. I'd love to see M-1 put together a huge shows with the UFC castoffs. Couture vs. Fedor, Arloski vs. Barnett, Tito vs. Babalu. WAR UFC competition!
