I pray to god this fight actually happens. This card is already stacked and I would love to see AA back in action. He's one of my favorites and he hasn't been getting his due lately. I mean prelims? Seriously Dana why would you bury one of your only marketable heavyweights you have left? I hope he KO"s Rothwell, and I like Rothwell. The Pitbull is just too badass.

Well, we all know that Rothwell could end it with one punch, but am going to have to go with AA in this one.
I think I will be rooting for Rothwell, but smart money is on AA.
In any case, hope to see a back and forth fight, ending with an impressive KO.

If the old werewolf Arlovski shows up, Rothwell is in trouble.
If a tentative Arlovski shows up, it could be a boring one.
Hopefully being in contract limbo and sitting out a while will light a fire under Arlovski and we see an impressive KO finish like he is capable of.

Ben Rothwell KO is the only way I see this fight going.
If the old Arlovski comes back, He'll win all the rounds but Rothwell will catch him late since he does not have a good chin and this fight will look like the Rizzo/AA fight.
If this new boring Arlosvki comes in that we've seen in his last two fights, he's going to get KTFO in the 1st.

Thats just wrong man!
AA vs Rizzo was a war and Andrei was 23! Rizzo was the guy many considered the number 1 or 2 HW and held his own all through the fight! Theirs no way Rothwell could stand that long with AA and survive!
Even if the as you say "boring" Andrei shows up he's still KO's two of his last 3 opponents! The Werdum fight was boring and i'll give you that but AA is a elite HW Rothwell is unproven against any top 10 competition and i think a overhand right would crumple that chin of his no problems!
I don't know why you're saying hes got no chin! Roided Tim, Rizzo and Rodriguez could knock any HW out.
Even after their second match Tim said he hit him a few times right on the button and Andrei never flinched!
i know me & SmileR got AA, but what about everyone else?
i got AA Rd 1 KO, but since lots of people are gonna pick this also, im gonna go out ona limb & say AA by KO in the 2nd Minute
WAR ARLOVSKI! its about ******* time we got to see him fight!
Hell yeah man!!! I knew their was a reason i liked you on here! 
Edit: - Is this fight even confirmed yet? I heard AA's still in talks with the UFC!

I think Arlovski will make Rothwell look like an am. Arlovski is the way more technical striker, faster hands, and better grappling. Rothwell does have a puncher's chance though since he has some heavy hands.

Don't beat yourself up about it! Anything with AA's name on it is worth some time!
Interesting fact: Did you know you gave me my first prop!

1. Tim wasn't on roids when he KO'd Arlovski. He got caught after the 1st one and after he beat Ricco if I remember correctly but I'm 100% sure it was before the 2nd one when he got KO'd.
2. I didn't say AA has no chin. I just said it's not very good borderline even weak. 3 of his 4 losses are by T/KO. And I don't think Ricco could knock any good heavyweight out.
I just am 99% sure the old AA will not be showing up. And if Jake O'Brien was a good striker I think he could have KO'd Arlovski. And Ben Rothwell packs some very good power and has some devastating KO's under his belt. Yeah he's KO'd pretty much bums but you don't have to be Fedor or Tim Sylvia to have a good chin. If the old AA comes back and takes Rothwell's best shots and still ends up winning. I'll stop with the criticism of his chin. I really do like the old Arlovski and it's a shame he's lost his fire. I hope I am proven wrong.
