    Arlovski has been confirmed for the K-1 GP this yeah. Although he wont be taking part in the GP its self. He will be in a
    "superfight"

    I think Aerts, Sefo and Mighty Mo arent arent in the GP, or maby Choi... any of these would be great. Id prefer Aerts.

    It should be easier to cover that chin with big gloves, are K-1 heavies fighting in 16ozer's these days?

    He must be having trouble sleeping these days, bit of an extreme measure just to catch 40 winks.

    Arlovski's K-1 oppoenent is this guy, "Iron" Raul Catinas

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raul_C%C4%83tina%C5%9F

    12 wins 7 KO's isnt a bad ratio for a 22 Year old but if you watch his fights this Kid has HEAVY hands...


    I though they would have purposly put him in with someone Feather fisted. Fair play that they didnt.



    If Bigfoot Silva can outstrike him he is fucked against this guy.

    Theres a few vids of him on youtube, this fight below is quality! Arlovski is fucked IMO, this is a Heavy handed kid who only moves forward and can soak up a beating, he has ever been KO'd and seems to fare well under fire.

    Updated...

    Arlovskis fight is actually in the GP!!! No Bard Hari because he is probabally on the run from the law or in jail... supprised to see no Bonjasky Crying or Very sad

    This could be a great year still...

    Overeem vs Edwards
    JLB vs Kyotaro
    Aerts vs Tiexeira
    Schilt vs Gerges
    Zimmerman vs Ghita
    Arlovski vs Catinas
    Saki vs Kemayo
    Karaev vs Spong

    Also Sergei is fighting on the undercard.

    Bonjasky is having serious eye trouble at the moment. There's a chance he doesn't fight again.

    Joking aside, its quite unfortunate Andrei has zero chin, because he's without a doubt one of the best strikers in MMA, so even if he had the smallest trace of a chin, he'd be quite a good fighter and possibly have more success than he has.

    hmm dont think so, they mentioned in a SF event that he has a Sports Psychologist though but that's not really a big deal

    Yep Arlovski played Russian Roulette with a loaded gun after the Rogers, loss! Guy has been in a bad way.

    Before the Fedor fight he was considered one of the best strikers in MMA, I wouldnt put him in the top 20 technically. Think about it, Where did he get this great reputation...

    Battering Ben Rothwell Rolling Eyes

    Sylvia KO'd him
    Fedor KO'd him
    Rogers KO'd him

    and sure you can chalk that up to his chin but watching Bigfoot Silva outstrike him, even beat him to the Jab makes me think unless he changes up his training camp he is getting KO'd badly. He has a much tougher opponent that say Overeem or a few of the "big name" K-1 guys.

    Zimmerman vs Ghita looks like maybe the most even fight in the opening round.

    Allright mate long time, how u keeping?

    Your right its a fairly even fight, Zimmerman will never be a worldbeater but he is a veteran and isnt an easy fight for anyone.

    I havnt seen Ghitas last 2 fights but he put a beating on Sergei . Im backing Ghita to win this one he is really tough, I was impressed he went the distance with Schilt who is the number 1 right now...

    I think Ghita will take this and he has a really impressive KO record but I think Zimmerman will survive to loose UD

    Yeah 100% ill be watching that live on Stream. Be on the chat box then.

    No I hear that was just a rumor. Schilt said he hadnt seen or heard from Dana White since Dublin but said he was open to the Idea. I think he said he is concentration on K-1 and beating Hoosts record for now but I after that who knows.

    I seriously am not sure about Schilt making 265lbs now anyway. I think 290ish is the lowest he has been in recent memory and he has been up over 300 in a few of his last fights. Struve can make 265 at that height I suppose and a 30lbs cut isnt unthinkable for Schilt who is carrying a little excess weight but I dont think a weight drained Smaller Schilt would be good im MMA. A decent wrestler will take him down and keep him there id reckon.

    I would love Badr Hari to spend a year doing BJJ non stop. Jerome Le Banner is the man I want to see in MMA he is 265lbs without cutting which would help stop him gassing. He has 5 MMA fights with 1 loss and survived a Sapp GnP back when Sapp was actually a 360lbs Beast!

    Jerome Le Banner could walk into an Octogon and KO Dos Santos. Id love to see a career change for him but it must be hard for him to give up on ever winning a World Grand Prix because its crazy to think he hasnt ever won one!
