I predict Arlovski will take this via TKO in round 2.

His last couple fights were bores he was overly cautious scared to get caught,before Sylvia caught him he was an animal and he needs to get that back. Im not hating Im a fan and I want to see him again which we wont if he fights like his last fight they pretty much said that on TV last time he fought

I actually thought his fight against Werdum wasn't all that bad. I mean, when do we ever get to see a real live bitch slap in the Octagon?

Never, that's when.

And AA vs Cruz was awesome merely due to the fact that he basically KO'd him off his back and the that Herbo didn't notice that he was grabbing the fence the whole time he was pounding Marcio's head into the canvas.

That fight was awesome because when they had the stoppage, Cruz was looking up at the ref, waiting for the call to start fighting again, while Arlovski had his right hand cocked and ready to strike. As soon as Herb said "go", Andrei smoked Cruz in the side of the face and just pounded his way to victory after that.

Andrei's come a long way since his humble beginnings in MFC.

anyone who saw the O'brien fight, please describe it. Was it the AA of old?

Found my answer.

Heres the gist from ufc.com

O’Brien (10-1), fighting for the first time since undergoing surgery after his win over Heath Herring in January of 2006 - made no bones about his gameplan; he was looking for the takedown early and often. Arlovski (14-5) showed good takedown defense though and he kept O’Brien at bay for much of the round. But with under two minutes left, O’Brien finally got Arlovski to his back and he began to work his ground and pound game. Arlovski scored the biggest shot of the round though, opening up a cut on the top of O’Brien’s head with an elbow just before the bell.

The second was more of the same, with O’Brien looking for the takedown and Arlovski sprawling his way out of trouble and firing back the occasional strike. Midway through the round, O’Brien scored his second takedown, but after a stalemate, the two stood, and it was then that Arlovski pounced, taking his foe down and landing in the full mount. From there, Arlovski just fired away with both hands, and with no answer coming back from O’Brien, referee Mark Matheny halted the bout at 4:17 of the second stanza.

not really, was a pretty uninteresting fight, nothing really happened in the first round but then he mounted in the second but even then didnt do any real damage but o'brien wasn't doing anything to fight back so AA begged herb dean to stop it, and he did

dissappointing fight really, won't do much for his market value

edit - oops it wasnt herb

[JMH]

Did AA resign w/ UFC?
