Arlovski vs Struve, fights where Struve has a shot at a KO are the best.

No.

The greatest moment in my life was realizing that I didn't need a belt to be happy.

I suppose Andrei could fight some of the newer shittier heavyweights they have around until they can use him to fight Struve on a Fight Night card or some poo poo.

It's also a shame that Sergei still isn't in UFC

They'll probably stick him at the top of a Brazilian Fight Night card against JDS and pay him like 16/16. Or if they had a good sense of humor about it, 16/500.

I still say they should hand Browne over to JDS since he seems to think his stock went up after literally being bullied by Werdum for 5 rounds.

He's got a good look for promotion (and they can say "Former UFC Heavyweight Champion") and can be used to trick people who don't really pay attention to MMA into thinking he's worthwhile. The people that do pay attention to MMA will want to watch him get KO-ed in a hilarious fashion.

When they end up rematching him and Rumble they should end the rounds 5-10 seconds early.

He has no chin. None. Also he lost to a fat Anthony Johnson and almost got finished due to his lack of chin.

Arlovski isn't a big joke but his prime was back when Paul Buentello was a threat to the heavyweight title. After the Fedor knockout his career took a bit of a nosedive when he got stopped by everybody, including a tire salesman. Bigfoot beat him by decision not too long ago and these days would would likely shut his lights off.

Arlovski is skilled enough to beat the trashier trashweights on UFC's roster but any of the top 10 guys will kill him.

Arlovski has a skilled and varied striking offense, decent wrestling and ground, and some serious knockout power. Unfortunately, he has an incredibly shaky chin, and the Bisping-esque tendency to stick both arms out straight and run straight backwards whenever somebody pressures him, which has led to him being on the wrong end of some spectacular knockouts. Worse, he knows this, which means he fights super-erratically because his confidence fluctuates wildly from fight to fight (and sometimes even during the course of a fight).

Arlovski has a lot of tools and talents but is the very definition of damaged goods.

Fun Fact: Andrei has 32 mma fights to Overeems 51, but has been KOed 10 times to Overeem's 8.

The saddest part of his career to me was the Bigfoot fight. He lost and barely did anything but afterwards was talking like it was a moral victory because he didn't get knocked out.

Less of a big joke and more of a sad case, because even an ignorant fan like me can see that another UFC stint is going to lead to further brain damage. Whatever he does in the UFC, it's going to end with at least one horrible KO.

Arlovski would get knocked out less if he didn't run straight backwards with both arms out whenever someone pressures him while moving forward.

Vitor, Mir, BJ, Barnett, Hendo and Wanderlei (sorta), Franklin if he doesn't retire, Yves Edwards... I think those are all the other guys who were around before TUF but I could be wrong

I'm actually surprised there are that many guys who have been in UFC for over 10 years on/off.

Arlovski was participating at 28 so he has a few of those dudes beat.

In terms of fights, I think Tito, Chuck, Randy, Vitor, and Hughes are topping that list of fights. Guys like Yves Edwards and Sam Stout are probably real close too.

Donald Cerrone will easily have the most UFC fights ever in 18 months.

According to MMAfighting, UFC wants to do Arlovski vs Schaub for his first match. That's one of the heavyweights that Arlovski could knockout but I wouldn't be surprised at all if he got clipped and died either.

7. Still he gets KO'd roughly 1 in 5 fights (worse actually), not good. I'm glad he's fighting Schaub because it frees up Hunt for a possible Nelson fight.
