Nice tune-up fight before he takes on Monson in February.

Ohh didn't know he was fighting Monson. Can't wait to see the Snowman fight again!!

After seeing that Monson vs Aleks fight the other day, I think AA will destroy him regardless of the outcome of this Hayes fight.

Honestly... agreed :( I think that's been true for a while. But he's tough as shit and I can dream.

But I'm an Arlovski fan too, so largely I'm excited to see two of my non-UFC favorites out there.

Love AA and Monson.. Probably my two favorite heavyweights of all time. But Monsons only hope, and has been for awhile, is his BJJ. His stand up was horrible against Aleks but he still got the sub. Just hoping for a good show here by both.
