“We were just talking about Arlovski. We want to sign him. It’s our intention to sign him. But I don’t know. We’re, well, I don’t know. We want to. Whether we will or not, I have no idea. We like Andrei and I know the fans like Andrei. I hope we can do something.”

Well Dana, that's clearly another big name fighter gone out on you're company...just hope someday he comes back in the UFC.

Dana is in a huge state of denial. He'll keep feeding fighters to other orgs and let them get bigger and bigger until someone figures it out.... hopefully

Yes, they like Andrei so much that they put him on the prelims... another talented fighter gone.

I think everyone's reading too much into this. Arlovski's not going anywhere.

I don't know if you are playing (like Dana) or what?

UFC's banking on Arlovski losing to someone.

Very curious to see how Arlovski does outside of the UFC though.

This news saddens me. Just a month or so ago he is appologizing for being an asshat, and now he just doesnt know. Thats a real nice way to attract up and coming fighters. I'm at a loss for how Dana is acting this way. He cares more about legalizing MMA in New York than he does about securing the future of his heavyweight division.

You really dropped the ball on this one Dana, Donald Trump just called and he says, "You're Fired! Go Join Tito in the unemployment line."

...Must say, I can't be the only one that feels some people are overreacting to this. Granted, it's a big loss in talent, but the UFC can and will move on. Hell, this all might be great for MMA.

I mean really - The possibility of Arlovski vs. Fedor happening isn't all that far fetched. MMA doesn't rise and fall on one, single fighter. I'd actually like to know just how much Affliction's going to shell out for Arlovski to fight once.
