Erik Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 When Arlovski is on, he's always been very dangerous. The gap between his best and worse is enormous though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gap between his best and worse is enormous though. both of these equals this fight, Arlovski can be a bottom top ten HW and Bigfoot post surgery needs to find his place as a bottom tier ufc guy and a One FC/Bellator guy he's next gen Kongo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce7 Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 both of these equals this fight, Arlovski can be a bottom top ten HW and Bigfoot post surgery needs to find his place as a bottom tier ufc guy and a One FC/Bellator guy he's next gen Kongo Keep in mind, Kongo's contract ran out and he opted to not resign with UFC. On the other hand, I could definitely see a good number of fighters jump to Bellator when their contracts run out now that Coker is in charge. About the fight................still a little underwhelmed by the knockout. Wasn't exactly a highlight reel KO we are used to from heavyweights. Arlovski looked more comfortable then he was in his last fight and Bigfoot recovering from TRT (or lack of) upset was written all over this one. I don't think Arlovski gets back in the title hunt, but I certainly don't mind him being somewhere in the Gate Keeper - fringe Top 5 area.

JCRaven Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 If any Fighters go to Bellator they're stuck there. Dana will Fedor them plus they'll be ko'ed by AAA level fighters so who cares. Roids help stamnia more than KO than you think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK47 Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Arlovski has always been the HW divisions hardest hitter. aka his ko of nelson,rothwell,buentello Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb613 Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 He's a hard hitter for sure but this was always my prediction for this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanceTempleton Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Arlovski has great hands and no chin, thus his career will always be filled with ups and downs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shortfuse122829 Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 When Arlovski is on, he's always been very dangerous. The gap between his best and worse is enormous though. This is so true. As soon as the fight started & I saw Andrei actually using his footwork & not being hesitant to throw punches and create exchanges my interest was immediately peaked. He has the boxing skills, footwork & hand speed to be a serious threat but I always thought that mentally he had been broken. Arlovski has great hands and no chin, thus his career will always be filled with ups and downs. I sorta agree & disagree w/ this statement. I mean clearly his chin isn't granite & probably not even very good, but to me it always seemed like he "quit" more then he just got cleanly knocked out. He seemed to be "afraid" for lack of a better word to get into exchanges w/ guys. (maybe just confidence from previous KO's was gone?) So when he'd eventually get tagged w/ something that hurt a little bit, it always seemed like he'd put his back on the cage & try to rope a dope & avoid punches while he got attempted to recover. The only problem w/ that is you're not in a ring, it's a cage, which makes leaning back impossible & he always would just get swarmed once he found the cage & eventually go down. I think if he can actually keep his damn back off the cage & use that footwork he could have considerably more ups than downs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLP Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 I think it was more Bigfoot coming off a year layoff and no longer being able to use TRT more than it was any kind of Arlovski resurgence. Bigfoot looked even slower than usually and really tentative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, he took two hooks to the head that werent set up by anything without trying to avoid or block them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Arlovski still has it in him He always had it in him, it's just hard to work your man over if they're getting to your chin. He's had good luck lately. If he can protect himself well in future fights then with the right circumstance I could see him going for the title but never winning it. He doesn't have the chin to take the champ. He can however take on a lot of the top level heavyweights in there today so his fights will be fun to watch. It is only a matter of time before somebody touches him up and has him rocked. I would love to see him recover from that and come back. If he could do that then I would say he can win the title.

catako Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 I think you can take it anyway, but I think even if Big Foot was a bit slower, Arlovski did look great, if he gets a top 5 fighter we'll see if he still got what it takes to challenge for the belt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
