Arlovski has an off button though and it is HIS ENTIRE HEAD.

Should be a fun fight tonight.

hehe i think arlovskis chin is not that bad... i mean fedor, rogers and kharitonov are not the weakest punchers I would say... and kharitonov hit him quite a few times before he went down (which is also bad on another scale I guess ;D)... Also he is at Jacksons now ... while Rumble is at the Blackzilians and probably hasn't trained as much cardio since he didn't have to cut weight ... but still quite close since Rumble also packs quite a good punch. Am pumped... but obv. if Arlovski goes down by the first punch... lulz...

i don't expect rumble to try to stand with arlovski. rumble didn't even try to stand with dan hardy. i doubt hardy could KO roy nelson. arlovski did.

rumble didn't look fat at the weigh-ins, so he might be in shape.

if it stays standing, i think arlovski is more likely to hurt johnson than johnson hurting him.

also arlovski has a much bigger frame than rumble. he's just a bigger dude. but i think rumble can take him down (and should try). if he can't take him down, he'll need to get lucky.

Oh and also, training at Jackson`s these days is not the same as 2-3 years ago when they were less known and had mostly just elite fighters/trainers.

They have become so big/ popular that their ranks are a bit wattered down these days and they don`t take care of their less known fighters as they should.

He's an average fighter, Arlovski is bigger and has better striking, and Rumble is used to fighting smaller guys.

I have 3u Arlovski @ -105ish, 0.4u Nam at +162, 0.4u Cavalcante at +145 - think I get 1/2 of Nam and Cavalcante usually and Arlovski maybe 55-60% of the time and a 0.2u parlay on the three of them plus Simpson to win 3u

Wow, Rivera out and Dillashaw in to face Hugo Viana

If Dillashaw keeps it standing as long as he did against Tamura he's going to get knocked the **** out, Viana is so underrated... but i'm a bit scared for him since Dillashaw is actually really good.

I really hope the line is Viana +350 so I can smash that line, Viana's power punching looked excellent against Duran and Dodson showed that Dillashaw can be knocked out if you connect on his chin.

Dillashaw will win over half the time due to his wrestling probably but I think the odds play will be on Viana if their respective odds in previous fights are any indication

I kinda hate this matchmaking, both guys have the potential to become top 10 guys and are almost there already and this will derail one of them but I suppose the winner gets to fight a top 10 guy next probably so it's fine. The fight should be excellent, I hope Viana can get it done, he's probably my 2nd fav BW fighter after Cruz.

Ok Hansen's walkout music annoys me, i'm going to cheer for the other guy.

Also if Arlovski wins today the UFC really should try and get him back although I guess he can make more money as WSOF champion

They should also try and sign Nam if he wins

Finishing last tourney and then will rest up and watch the WSOF and March madness, nice little relaxing saturday night. I like Arlovski and A-Train Simpson.
A-train will takedown burkman all day, and Arlovski is too nice for rumble on the feet.

Well I got owned but at least they were small bets, Nam bet is small too, so i'll win for the card if Arlovski wins and lose badly if he loses.

Honestly I don't get the AJ love sure he can knock AA out but AA is a bigger guy with better technical striking and extra power to counteract the weaker chin so I think he's a slight fav - AJ wins by decision more but is this fight really going to decision very often? Eventually one of them will connect and end it.

Absolutely not.

Would rather take Anderson at -300

Can't believe Arlosvki is only -120. I guess we'll find out soon how good that line was.

Slight brag just binked the big 162 for 24k

Time for Arlovski to make me an extra 300 or so!
