Quoteworthy:
"After I lost to Brett Rogers, I had meetings with all my trainers, and they gave me a lot of ultimatums. They said that I had to do it their way, or that I would have to start to look for new trainers. When I fought Rogers I didn't stick to my game plan and I didn't take him seriously. Everything happens for a reason, and I'm more disciplined now. I'm definitely going to stick to my game plan. No more flying knees like against Emelianenko. No more putting my hands down like I did against Rogers. No more losing. I just can't lose again. It's very dramatic for me to lose fights and I want to climb back into the top. It's going to be a very tough and important fight for me."
Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Andrei Arlovski tries to crawl out of the 0-2 hole he finds himself in after back-to-back losses to Fedor Emelianenko and Brett Rogers in 2009. "The Pitbull" faces the dangerous Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva at Strikeforce: "Heavy Artillery" tomorrow night (May 15) in St. Louis and could find himself difficult to employ with another disappointing loss. It should be noted the Belarusian has never lost three straight fights and may have finally gotten the wake up call he needed against "The Grim" last June. Can he return to form and climb his way back into contention? Or is it too little, too late?

It would be nice to AA become a top 5 contender again
AA vs JDS would be a great match eventually.
I’ve got Bigfoot who looked good vs Werdum. AA fought Rogers last June huh? Long layoff.
Circle Left, Jab, Uppercut !!!
If only the Thrashing Machine would listen.
Same here, Bigfoot looked great and now realizes the importance of a kill instinct.
He has reach, size and decent power while AA has a goulet chin. Never get on a goulet chin.

Apparently, Big Poopy got some very brief sloppy seconds from AA’s smokin’ hot ex (I think she just wanted to punish AA by screwing the dude who KO’d him). Anyway, an interviewer asked him about that, and AA said, “I don’t want to say anything but . . . how taste my pee pee.” n obvious reference to Poopy putting his mouth in a place where AA had recently put his Li’l Belorussian Soldier.

Ha ha
The shot of him ‘dead’, face down on the canvas after Fedor rocked his world is one of the iconic images of MMA.

quote is a couple weeks old
but he’s right. If history is an indicator, he will go on a long winning streak now. I hope.
'How's taste my pee pee pee?'
This fight has snoozer written all over it
AA back peddaling and moving side to side and refusing to engage, trying to point his way to a decision. It’s what he’s gonna resort to.

Yeah
I also like aa but he’s getting to the point where it’s must win!! He is really one of those fighters with great skill but doesn’t apply the gameplan. We all know he could have had fedor if he done that…time will tell

How in the hell would he beat Fedor?
What a couple pitter patter shots that Fedor just brushed off? We all know it just takes 1 shot from Fedor, even on someone with a good chin. I don’t see how he was going to beat Fedor with those little shots. I am not saying it would not have been possible but basing it on a couple of light shots in the first round does not mean he was going to win.

brushed off?? he was getting alittle shaky from those, it was a competitive fight wether u like it or not dude..
For what profit is it to man if he gains the world , and loses his own soul?

I am not saying it wasn't competative
I am saying I just get irritated that people think Arlovski was killing Fedor until the knock out which is complete garbage. I do not think those were shaking him, I think Fedor was moving and tripped more than anything. I think the way Fedor walked through one of Bret Roger’s straights shows that those Arlovski quick jabs were probably not doing much in the damage department.

I simply cannot predict this fight. Too many different ways for it to play out but I’m giving Silva a 60% chance at winning so I guess that’s my call for this one.
I love BJ Penn

Hey all
Long time reader, but new to posting. I’m pulling for AA, but it will be tough fighting the man-mountain that is Bigfoot. AA has the skill to do it, but like Kos has been known to do, he falls in love with his boxing and becomes a bit predictable.
Arlovski is a boxer, of course he’s in love with his boxing. It’s his best asset.
The knock on Koscheck is that he has 2 aspects of his game (wrestling and submissions) that are better than his boxing, yet he forsakes his best assets and boxes instead.
comparison doesn’t hold
Actually...
His background is Sambo first and formeost, so he has great grappling ability. He also has a bjj background, so he is a mixed martial artist, and not just a boxer. His boxing has improved a lot, but he has a lot of tools.
...the tragic glass chin...
If Arlovski had even a slightly above average chin, he’d be the top heavyweight in the world… but, tragically, the man cannot take even one hard shot without going to sleep…
only if the Glass chin and harden
Agreed just like Barkley said about Utah playing Lakers the only chance they have is if they Grow a few inches!
if you lose arlvoski there is always a kimbo fight in your future.
