Pride fighters are not even on the same level as UFC fighters. In Pride all they do is roll around on the ground, and rarley do you ever see a decent submission.....Arlovski, with out a doubt is the greatest heavyweight champion ever in mma.

I suppose you think that Tim Sylvia is number 2 in the world???

In Pride the fighters nullyfy eachothers skills because they are so damn good. If you watch the mundial or ADCC I bet you'll be bored. They guys there are so good that you see few submissions. Even so they are not clean. Arlovski gets so many clean ones because he's that much better than all the other HWs i the UFC. If he was to fight Werdum he'd have a hard hard time. And Werdum isn't even top 5 in Pride!

Totally aree with Gurre on this one, Arlovski is a big fish in a small pond

I would rank Arlovski number 1 in the world, ive seen all the top heavyweights fight and i think hes the best, Fedor from pride is a really close 2, they are by far the best two in the world, nobody can touch em

I also agree that pride has a way better crop of heavyweights, i would love to see arlovski go over to pride and compete, like i said before him and fedor are a step above everyone vicious ko power, great take downs and unbelievable sumbmissions, did u see what fedor did to randleman after he go droped on his head, damn near broke his arm, pretty impressive

I can't agree that Arlovski is #1 in the world. Sure he has really good skills, no doubt. But is he Pride material? Only time will tell.

Pedro Rizzo and Ricco touched him

Do you know who Rodrigo Nogueira is?????

Who has Arlovski beat to be compared with Fedor, yes he has skills but lets not get carried away with the current UFC champ. I would like to see him perhaps against a opponent that isnt in Pride top 5, a rematch against Rizzo or a fight with Heath Herring. I wont be convinced unless he moves over to Pride and beats some of there fighters. Will the changes in rules affect Arlovski if he does go over to pride?

Next time you go on holiday visit a place called planet earth, its quite nice

LOL! Well Arlovski doesn't use elbows, and I feel that he can be effective with those knees on the ground because he has very long legs.

I also think that Arlovski needs to fight pride hw`s
its hard to evaulate his skills when he fights fighters
far below his skill level.

I agree
