Arlovski back to MMA soon..

Arlovksi has ditched Boxing for the time being anyway and is planning on an MMA return! Im really glad to hear it Im a bag fan of Arlovski and would like to see him doing well again.

He mentioned that he would take another fight with Tim Sylvia and wants back in the UFC... With both fighters wanting back in the UFC this could be a real possibility! Im sure a few arent thrilled about seeing a 4th fight after their last one was so bad but hey 2 fights were good!

He said that he has been working hard on his jiu-jitsu which is a great thing, Working only on boxing wasnt the best Idea!! Im sure Strikeforce would welcome him back if he dropped his asking price? Free Agent wise Id really love him to fight Aleks E. as he is now without an opponent, Or even Jeff Monson who is another free agent...

Whatever happens I wish him good luck, I was gutted to hear he was trying to blow his brains out and hope he can cover his Jaw in future and get his career back on track

I would love to see him back in the UFC, or strike force for that matter, just want to see him fight again. I'm glad that he is now working on other aspects of his game. He has a solid sambo background and should use it more often, complimented with his jits and really good stand up, to become more well rounded fighter.
Whilst I really want to see him fight Alex at some point I think facing someone as dangerous as him at the moment would not be a good idea, who knows how he could take another devastating loss!! Monson would be good. His stand up won't trouble AA and i think he has the athleticism to out work him. The UFC might be able to marked him and Timmy again in some way but a new opponent wold probably be the best idea.

I can see AA on a couple of smaller shows in a few tune up fights then joining a Big promotion Arlovski is a confidence fighter he needs to build this up i'd be surprised if he joins a Big promotion any time soon

Monson will fight anyone, i think this is a good idea.

As good as the first 2 AA/tim fights were, i think another fight right now could be the worst yet, both coming off bad KOs it will belong in the "most tentative fights in mma" category.

Arlovski is next weeks fighter on Bully beatdown.

He is going to get KO'd! lol! But really I dont watch that show but Ill watch his next MMA fight regardless of who he fights

it would be terrible for AA to get KOd on bully beatdown, and it could happen!!! All it would take is one decent shot to the chin. He could be on suicide watch again and for such a great talent in MMA that would be a real shame but is a possibility.

Good to hear he is coming back. He needs a few wins before he gets back to the UFC, which is fair enough. Id love to see Cro Cop-Arvloski. The UFC could use him, a good fighter and a popular fighter. Certainly more useful than Buentello

Also I think he will destroy that Bully, he will proberly submit him like 4 times and then KO him. I seriously doubt he will lose.

I doubt he will loose either! I was only joking about him getting KO'd. I do worry about his Chin in Professional MMA now but I think he just needs to work hard to keep his hands up and his chin tucked down. Amir Khan has the same problem and he is getting by in Boxing. With a bit of Cross training I think Arlovski can be a force at Heavyweight again.

I wonder if the Crocop fight will ever happen? Arlovski needs a few big wins to get back to UFC. I dont know why they arent interested in him, Like you say they took Buentello and surely no one rates him higher than Arlovski...

ive never seen bully beatdown, are the bullies real fighters or just regular guys off the street?

Ye Ben I was responding to Manchesthair. These guys are just "hardmen" of the street, they really suck.

Here is one of the guys Shields fought
:

I know anything can happen in MMA, but im pretty sure Arvloski can beat whoever they put him against. The guy mus be a real dick if there puttng him against the pitbul!

My mate just text to say arlovski got ko'd on bully beatdown lol

I dont think its happened yet! I was reading that the show is fake anyway, I really cant wait to see Arlovski back in action.. I hope he just dives in at the deepedn at strikeforce insted of figting nobodys as a free agent. Overeem vs Arlovski is one id like to see! the sooner Overeem can cycle off the Roids and figth in the US the better! Werdum is already saying Overeem is ducking him!

Yeah just told me he was winding me up , what a chump I am

Apparently ben, the "bullies" are just actors, but the fights are real.

Ah ok, I havnt watched It... Arlovski and Alvarez are in this season apparently.

The bullies are probably "encouraged" to act the way they do but the fights are 100% real. Its a fun little show but only watch it when the bigger fights come on like Shields, AA and Alvarez.

Well I'm happy to report that Andre came out of his Bully beatdown appearance unscathed,in fact against the 6'4 280lb bully,he looked like the stud of old,tapping the guy out 5 times averaging a tap out every 20 seconds and then he KO'd him in about 30 seconds of the second round giving the bullys victims all 10 Gs.

The bullys face was priceless when his opponent was announced and then Mayhem kept offering him $20 to leave while he could.(should of took the $20)

It did make me smile when the first thing Arlovski said was"Lets see how good your chin is,toughguy"

lol good one coming from arlovski

Arlovski is in negotations to fight in December or January, he is set to spend time training at Greg Jackson's gym before the fight.

I wonder were he will fight? Cant wait to see him back, Id love to see him in UFC again. Crocop says he wants 2 more fights and Arlovski would make an Ideal opponent. I cant see UFC welcoming him back with open arms though.

Wherever he fights im sure we will see a much improved Arlovski. Jackson is the best coach in MMA. He will help Arlovksi use his strengths, give him more confidence and great advise and gameplans going into fights. Roach wasnt really the Ideal coach for a MMA figher. I think he is still training with Roach though which cant hurt but Greg Jackson can improve any figher I think.

hopefully when Arlovski comes back he doesnt try to keep all the fights standing like usual and mixes his sambo background into his fights and i really hope he can get back to winning ways cause he is one of my favourite fighters
