So, Although we pretty much knew.. Andei made it official that he's signed a 3 fight deal with Affliction. First opponent is Rothwell as planned.


PS it's Andrei not Andre.... for anyone with control of the name of the thread :)

Sad to see him go. After Rothwell, does he think he can get Fedor? if not maybe Barnett...that is all that they have out their for him right now I think...well good match ups that we can see happen.

I gotta think he is going to batter Rothwell, even an average Arlovski can beat him the 'Pitbull' will kill him. The fight I would love to see is AA Vs Barnett, that would be a cracker. I would also love to see the best AA against the best Fedor but I dont ever see it happening.
The fight with AA I have always wanted to see would be against Sergei Khartinov (forgive the spelling) oh baby that would be awesome.

I think it's good for now. He left UFC on good terms. I wish he had fough Big Nog, Vera and Mir. But, the three fights in Affliction are promising. After that he's free to go where he wants. UFC might even pay him better. Especially if he dismantles a few key non-ufc fighters.

Well I think if he comes out aggressive and nasty wanting to win and win well then there will be so many doors open to him, every org in the world would want that pitbull on their books, but if he is the same AA we saw against Werdum just looking for the W then he will find it difficult to find himself in the top 5 or top 10 HWs in the world. If that happens then who knows what will happen to him and after a few of them fights honestly who would care. It's up to AA now!!!

I have to say that AA is a marketable fighter only when he is ON! he does not have the out of ring Charisma like Baroni or Tito to draw attention. Love them or Hate them a few fighters will do well outside of the ring because they are larger than life charactors. Tank Abbot is another guy that people will pay money to see, even if it is as a big beer guzzling Can of a fighter.

AA better show up and tear down a few HW guys or he might have just left the only payday that will look good to him for a while.

I think most have faith in him, I am actually 1 of them, but it's all up to him. He has everything he needs to go out there put on a great display and DESTROY Rothwell but if he hasn't got that hunger it will be very forgetable. he has a great camp but is it enough to a guy that doesn't feel it anymore. I saw a survey on Sherdog where 83% of people thought he would achieve big without the UFC so everybody behind him, like with BJ Penn all depends on which fighter shows up.

What AA needs to do is give up the fancy car, Gigalo gear and fly back and train with Fedor for a while. Do it hard old school style and then come in and Sambo Rothwells ass. Rothwell is a strong and accurate puncher and he might be able to Sylvia Arlovski if he is not careful. But change levels and drop Rothwelll to his back and hook a leg and break that ankle....now that is a fight stopper!

Why he felt his kick boxing was going to get him anywere I dont know! he needs to go back to his roots and rework it!
