Woah I can't wait for Mir Vs Arlovski. This fight will end quickly and I hope Arlovski wins but Mir's proved many times that his submission skills are deadly... Looks like Sylvia's had it after quickly losing to Arlovski too after that leg lock and the broken arm from Mir, OUCH.

[Gurre]

yeha that leglock was impressive. Andrei has great instincts.

Arlovski puts on a great fight when he's out there, i enjoy his fights.

[pankratios]

Gurre I don't think that he has beaten many high quality fighters....the only top10 fighter was Sylvia.
WTF is Ian Freeaman?????Zampidis is taller than Ian Freeman.

[Gurre]

Ian Freeman is a talented veteran of the octagon. He's fought in there alot and is know for his toughness.

He's beaten almost all the top names in UFC's HW division and is ranked top 10 in the world. Also, he's a former world champion in sambo. That qualifies him are a world class tontender, and a threat in any organisation.

If he was a crap fighter, why's he concidered to be UFC's next HW champion, and to keep that belt for a long time?

[pankratios]

I don't know many things about him....but I watched his fight with Arlovski...Andrei totally outclassed him.

[crazysoccerblader]

Arlovski is a great fighter no doubt. I can't wait to see him meet someone else that's crazy good. High level like Fedor.
The best part of Arlovski is that he's so classy outside the ring. I respect that so much that he's got a level head. Unlike Tito and the other hot heads that are so easy to cheer against cause they have that villain mentality. Arlovski is polite outside the ring and the nicest guy ever, but when he gets in there he's a freakin savage!

Class all the way.

[Gurre]

Yeah I really like his style. I'd love to see him in Pride to really see what he can do. But I doubt that he's ready for fedor right now. I tihnk he needs a few tune up fights.

[stevebags]

I dont think andre has a lot to worry about Mir. Mir has sub par stand up at that level and in the fight agianst wes sims he gassed and sims is no cardio machine.
And if anybody wants to see Ian freeman in a fight watch ufc 38 when he knocks Frank Mir around like a doll.
Ian was out classed by andre no doubt about it but he was a legit hw contender at one point.

[Gurre]

I think Anre will keep that belt for a long time.

[stevebags]

Agree with Gurre on this one as i cant see any hw in UFC taking his crown, however he has only 3 fights on his UFC contract left, will he go to Pride? If so who will he fight?

[Gurre]

if Pride signs him I see him fighting Hunt, Kharitonov and CroCop in his first 3 fights.

[stevebags]

I think Cro cop would be a good fight for Andre, it would test his stand up skills, but Cro cop stand up is imo superior to Andre,Andre hasnt been tested in UFC but thats no fault of his own, a fighter can only beat who is put in front of him. Would UFC title belt lose some creditibility if their champ lost to someone who is not pride champ? Perhaps Nog could take him on. Nog would beat him imo any thoughts on this guys

[Gurre]

I think that UFC wouldn't use cred. It's already a common fact that UFC's HW division isn't very good.
