Andrei has been the most dominating heavyweight champ in a while. Granted Couture would have ended up being the most dominate, but Arlovski finished off people in his defenses, Tim Sylvia just hugs people. Arlovski wins a lackluster fight, yet the guy who loses that fight, is not being talked about as being a contender, he lost to Arlovski dont know how that can be. After he knocks out O Brien, I hope he spits at Dana and walks out the building and sings with M 1. Let him go knock out Fedor and Cro Cop, and then when the UFC comes crying back, spit in his face again, and fight Randy. At his peak which I dont think he is out of yet, Arlovski was arguably the best heavyweight in the world. He has a setback like everyone but Fedor, who isnt human LOL!!, and now his heart and talent is being questioned. Thats stupid!! More consistant?

Or should I say poor O'Brian? Jake is going to get an ass-kicking. He is so outclassed here. He may be an awesome "lay-and-prey" wrestler....but Arlovski is a Sambo champ and excellent wrestler. There is no comparison. Andrei outclasses him standing and on the ground. There are always surprises but still. I really hope Arlovski goes to a different promotion. Where he has a title shot, better cards and better pay. Poor Arlovski. Or should I say poor O’Brian? Jake is going to get an ass-kicking. He is so outclassed here.

You have overcome traditionalists and have created a venue where the young and old wait impatiently to pay for your product. But the same stubborn and bullish attitude that made you successful may altimately distroy the UFC. The UFC, reguardless of what people want to argue, is the premiere MMA venue...The big leagues! The fighters are world class and dispite the controversy over who would beat who in the cage between the numerous leagues, the UFC has proven dominate. Even the great Fedor may not dominate in the UFC as he did in Pride. That being said, Andrei Arlovski is one of MMA's most exciting and talanted fighters. Regardless of record, AA is capable of beating anyone at anytime. His fighting style is continuously improving and his fights are exciting. Sylvia#3 was a boring fight but AA was clearly injured and I never once read where AA made any excuses. The Werdum fight was also a boring fight but he won it! Werdum is clearly a talanted fighter who may very well be the next champ. AA is young, althletic, intelligent and a class act. He is one of the top heavy weights in the world and you are screwing with him! You have failed to sign Fedor or keep Randy. You are about to lose AA, TiTo and many more. Yes, the UFC is a machine and has phenominal fighters but the young up and commers will not carry this league without having a chance to fight the established fighters for the world to see. Gonzaga and Kongo, for example, would not draw attention to your average consumer if they didn't fight Cro Cop. You and your investors certainly make a profit and your altheles are clearly under paid. You may have over estimated Cro Cops ability and you may have over paid him, however, I will still pay to watch him on a card. AA is the only fight I will pay for on the upcoming card. AA, Fedor, Randy and others will continue to fight in MMA venues around the world and that is where I will be spending my money. Greed ruined the oldest and the most traditional sport of boxing paving the way for you to make money. Please think about the future of the sport and your legacy.

I thought that was wrestling?!? I think Arlovski knows hes needs a big win and gets a 1st round KO! I DONT see O'brien taken Arlovski to the ground and out wrestling him for 3 rounds. I think the fight stays up and and we see a big KO!!! If ur tired of wrestling switch to wwe? I thought that was wrestling?!? I think Arlovski knows hes needs a big win and gets a 1st round KO!

O'brien will take this one...yes, it may be a little boring but it will show everyone once and for all that this kid is going to be around for awhile. Hell he is only 23! If you are tired of the wrestling - then switch to WWE - that is why they call this mixed martial arts - unless I missed something a win is a win! I would love to see O'brien take this one and shut all of you up.... Are you kidding?

A win is a win, period! Dont make excuses about why Heath Herring lost. He lost! I look for Jake to take AA down and keep the fight to the ground. If he does that he will win the fight. I also think AA can win this fight if he keeps it standing. There is no secret here. Whoever wins, it will be a fight just like any other fight. There are always different finishes to a fight. Maybe this one will make you smile! All you are going to be eating your words when O’Brien gets a win against AA. A win is a win, period! Dont make excuses about why Heath Herring lost. He lost!
