Anthony "Rumble" Johnson!!!!!
Rumble as in.......
- the sound of the ground quaking as he walks.
- the never ending hunger in aj's tummy.
- the sound of the poor scale cracking beneath him.
I think rumble is on a mission to prove you can gain an insane amount of size in a short period of time without steroids.

Well, I'm interested in the fight. The performance AA put on against Tim S. gave the impression he is in the right frame of mind for training and fighting. I'm taking him in this one believing he'll use his smarts and better striking to in the standup and just maybe, just maybe, he'll get it on the ground and finish with a leg-lock.

I'd say technically, Arlovski's the better striker here, but I've always felt that Arlovski is similar to guys like Kampmann in as far as they are technically sound, but often wilt under pressure. The difference between Kampmann and Arlovski is that we know that Martin can still take a punch (as long as it isn't from Hendricks).
If Johnson comes out strong and hard I can see him finishing Arlovski early, however, I'd like to see Arlovski play this smart and take it to the ground. If this happens (and early) I'm taking Arlovski by second round TKO.

Assuming Rumble doens't have to cut so much weight to get to 265 that he gases  I think his defensive wrestling will hold up and he'll get the TKO over AA.
