Come on Tim
Would you dare a signature/avatar bet on that? I'll bet on Arlovski. Whoever wins, gets to choose the loser's avatar and signature - which must be worn by the loser for precisely two weeks.

Tito is going down... I don't really dig Forrest, but come on, Tito Ortiz isn't the fighter he used to be.
I wish I could see it.

I don't know. You could make an argument that Liddel and Franklin are top of their class and the welterweight division is stacked.
Pride defiantly has more depth on their roster.

No doubt Chuck got beat BAD by page and being a fan of both guys would love to see a rematch.
You know we could also throw some Belfort Silva and Tito Silva picks up there, hell even some Yoshida ones .
The thing I was getting at is that its not as A class B class as somke make out (heavyweight excepotion). I'd say both an Henderson and Franklin and Silva Chuck fights would be close and damn near toss up.

That I wont argue with.
Pride also treats their fighters far better, and pays them much more.

You_Suck said: I for one think Arlovski would hand Fedor his ass.
Spose we'll just have to wait for that one.
On what logical, rational grounds do you base such a prediction on? Mind you, I certainly don't think that Arlovski would be a push-over for Fedor. Not at all.
But hell, in no way, would Arlovski hand FEDOR his ass. Look at what Fedor has accomplished, in contrast to what Arlovski has accomplished. Fedor has literally manhandled everything Pride has tossed in the ring with him, from the best grappler in the world to the most dangerous striker in the world. His record is 23-0-0 [barring the absurd loss to a cut on his forehead that should've ended in a NC - which he avenged in pure bloodshed later]. He has literally manhandled all the top competition Pride has tossed his way. Arlovski -although highly formidable- pales in comparison. This is why ole' lovski needs to get his ass to Pride. That's where the big boys play.
Sergei and Arlovski would be a much more suspenseful fight, IMO - although, I'd still give the edge to Sergei. I'd give the edge to Arlovski against CroCop, since Arlovski is adept in Sambo, whereas CroCop still remains weak in his groundgame. Come to think of it, Arlovski vs Aleksander Emelianenko would be a definite sight to see - probably moreso than any of the aforementioned matches.
Boo said: "Arlovski is from Belarus..."
But Belarus is -from what I've been told- already nearly identical to Russia on so many levels, it's almost hairsplitting to contrast the two.
A more accurate assertion would be that Eastern Europe seems to produce the best fighters in the HW division. Fedor, Aleks, Sergei, Arlovski, etc. Interesting trend.

he's faster
he's more powerful
and he's better on his feet in my opinion
its arguable until they step in the ring
any given day in either arena - remember that elvis homo vs sacaroba fight
member that hughes vs penn fight
hell heath herring had a chance after being obliterated for 9 minutes
what it boils down to is I think arlovski would win
sue me

All you fucks slept on Tim Sylvia and look what happened.
-------------------- m00nshine is currently vacationing in Maui. Rumor has it he got rolled by drunken natives and is currently prostituting himself in order to pay for airfare back to the mainland but he's having trouble juggling a hairon addiction. He won't be back for a long while.

Now who did you say was going to win that fight? And didn't we have a bet too? I am going to need a day or two to think of just what it is i want you to change it to.. But rest assured, it's going to be something FITTING this occasion..
