Yeah Arlovski was my favourite fighter when I first started watching too, I honestly thought no one would ever beat him....obv I didn't know much about MMA etc. then be he looked so good when he had the title.

It was still early days to say Arlovski had him beat etc. it was the first round still... but he was winning the round.

He still looks quick and powerful his chin just isn't good enough to slug with big hitters like Brett Rogers, he needs to go train with Machida and learn some defense.

He also left the UFC over contract dispute and mistreatment which Dana admitted and tried to re-sign him, he could still beat most UFC HW imo.

Tito and Belfort both re-signing with the UFC.

i know, they are meant to be facing each other in December, which would tie in with UFC 107

Incidently UFC106 and UFC107 are only 1 week apart, Nov 14th and Nov 21st respectively, gonna be a nice week that (UFC106 being manchester's MEN Arena)

Belfort has been fighting at 185 but has fought as a HW before - he was actually talked about as a replacement for Barrett to fight Fedor. Would be a good fight v. Tito at 205.

UFC 106 card better be decent.

[creepy_benji]

Actually I think he's fighting Rich Franklin at 205 as no one wanted to see Hendo vs. Franklin II.

Vitor has got sick skills his KO of Matt Lindland was sick, hopefully he can make a run at the 185 crown.

Damn that card is lookin' good, i think this is the first time every fight on a card (including undercard) has interested me. I hope no one gets injured.

Screw Tito....he's rubbish and an asshole. Why did Dana bring him back?

[creepy_benji]

Because a lot of fans love him and the rest love to hate him, he is still good for business. He still might have some fight left in him too...took Machida to a decision, even though he did get his ass kicked.

106 is obv gonna be a shit card, theyll have Bisping maybe, Hardy, Sell and some of the british TUF guys and thats it, when do they ever have another PPV a week after an american based PPV?

[creepy_benji]

It does kinda annoy me that they always have the same 5 or 6 fighters on every British card. Bisping, Hardy, Davis, Paul Taylor, Paul Kelly, Terry Etim....it's as if they think we don't want to see the big UFC superstars.

Fedor Emelianenko has signed a multi-fight agreement that will see the world’s No. 1 ranked heavyweight compete for Strikeforce, the promotion announced Monday.

Emelianenko, who became a free agent after Affliction Entertainment canceled its Aug. 1 event two weeks ago, will make his debut on Showtime under a co-promoted Strikeforce/M-1 Global production this fall.

Manchester is UFC105 on Nov 14th, UFC106 is USA on Nov 21st - Agreed that the UK events are pish which i actually posted ages ago on here somewhere and got shot down for it!
