Andrei Arloski-moving To Lhw Class

Submission Fighter · 06-27-2006, 09:05 PM

I was on UFC websites and was checking out the fighter section, I noticed something intresting there. They were listing AA as a LHW not a HW. I found it quite intresting since I read an article in a British mma magazine with a AA interview. In the interview, AA said if he lost to Silviya on UFC 61 he would move down to LHW, and said he talked to Dana about it. Dana told him if he wins his 1st 2 as a lhw 3rd would be a title shot. Lidell/AA would be fun to watch. AA said he use to fight as a lhw b4 ufc.

No way could he get all the way down to 205. He is 235 ripped at Heavyweight, he can't have that high of body fat percentage to be able to drop 30 lbs. And even if he loses to Sylvia, which I don't think he will. He is still a hell of a lot better then the rest of the UFC HWs.

that'd be interesting to say the least.now i really hope he loses.i think there's more interesting matchups for him at 205.

i agree, it would be the biggest threat to chuck.

I would much rather have Andrei as the HW champ then Sylvia, so I hope that it doesn't happen. Just don't care for Sylvia at all.

Don't worry, few more fights and Vera will take him out.

Arloski v. Liddel would be a very interesting fight. I'd pay to see it.

AA is the exact type of fighter that is not dangerious for chuck. chucks number 1 weapon is his KO power and AA has a glass chin and he would more then likely stay standing with chuck were he would get KOed easy every time. horn was a bigger threat to lidell then AA ever would be just for the fact horn can take a punch. when you fight lidell you know ur gonna get caught once and that can be the end of it. look at the overeem fight in pride. allistar was dominating and chuck caught him with one punch and then finished him.
