I'm all for a AA/Sylvia 4...Arlovski deserves that fight if for no other reason than to silence all the dipshits who actually think that Sylvia is a better fighter. I realize that that would only even things out between them statistically, but if Arlovski crushes him like the first fight, there would be no question.
The key to victory against Cro Cop for Arlovski is learning some brutal takedowns; I know CC has probably the best takedown d in the business, but I still think it can be done (hell, Chuck'll get taken to the ground eventually). Arlovski definitely has the edge in the ground game; the guy's a sambo master. He's got sick joint locks.
Sure, everyone wants to see a CC/AA slugfest; I kinda do myself, and I'm not saying that Cro Cop being knocked out is out of the question. As good as AA's strikes are, though, CC is a world class kickboxer.
Takedowns are the key.
