I pissed that i've had to wait this long to see him fight. And if the Gonzago/Werdrum fight leads to contendership status i'm going to poop in my hand and throw it at Dana for putting AA up there to slug it out wiht the likes of Kongo, that jelloy bastard Silvia, CroCop, Lesner and Mir. AA's still top tier and people should realize that! Give him AA his weight in gold, and then some! that’s what it’s worth to see him fight. I pissed that i’ve had to wait this long to see him fight.

To sum it all up in a sentence, Silva basically stated that Arlovski had nowhere to really go and that the UFC needed to make a contract that made sense for them. Translation: Arlovski’s worth has fallen and he doesn’t deserve the big money. Is reality, is this somewhat true at all? I agree with it to an extent. Arlovski’s worth has fallen a bit while sitting the sideline. His absence didn’t help him much as far as being in the spotlight as far as a shot at the title went. With Couture coming back out of retirement and obtaining the belt, the whole picture changed at the top of the division. The big signings of PRIDE veterans also changed the potential matchups and ways of obtaining a title shot. The UFC definitely made it obvious that the PRIDE fighters coming in would see a potential shot at the title in a much shorter timespan than usual. Add that up along with Arlovski’s absence and it equals a forgotten heavyweight striker that has always excited the crowd with the exception of his last fight.

Look at what we have: Randy, Gabriel, Cro Cop, Big Nog, HH, Tim Sylvia, AA, Breandon Vera, Fabricio Thats not really that deep. Who else am I missing? F'n Eddie Sanchez??? Marcio Cruz??? I realize that there could be some guys who move up, but there could also be some guys who move down from HWT.[/quote] Kongo, Mir, O'Brian, Cruz and Silva are all better than HH. In fact you should have HH down beside Eddie Sanchez. [quote post=”3178″]Guys its not like were talking about a crazy deep Heavyweight division here. Look at what we have:

I was actually going to say I would like to see a Arlovski v Buentello 2. I do not think it would end the same way the first one did. In fact he should have been brought back a while ago, he is definately in my top 5 for heavyweight strikers. As the division stands at the moment though, I don't see it happening. He definately would have caused problems for quite a few.[/quote] Yeah i brought up Buentello awhile ago and noticed he was on a win streak and that we could see him in the UFC soon again.
