Default Arlovski's on his way back to the top.

So who is Arlovski going to fight next on his come back. I see that it's rumored that Kongo will be fighting at UFC 70, as well as Arlovski. Do you see Kongo being the next step on his path to UFC Gold? If not, who do you think fits the part?

I seriously think there is a big white and red checkered roadblock on AA's road back to the top... maybe not next, but soon enough

Yeah not good for AA that Cro Cop was signed.

Anyways "if" AA had a granite chin then he could go so much further.

IMO I feel people don't have enough faith in Arlovski. He is young, skilled and has alot of years in MMA left. He's like 4 years younger than Crop Cop and in those 4 years he can still improve.

His Chin is not as horrbile as everyone thinks it is. He is able to take a punch and in the Sylvia fight he was just off balance and stunned when he took that punch. Even Tim said in the third match that Arlovski didn't have a glass jaw.

Arlovski will suprise alot of people. I'm not saying that he will beat Cro Cop, but I would not be suprised if he Ko'd Cro Cop.

If Arlovski hit Cro Cop with the same punch he hit Sylvia with in the second match, Cro Cop would be in a world of trouble.

If this match ever happens, I will be on team Arlovski all the way.

I would argue that Cro-Cop's chin has looked pretty suspect in a few fights--Randleman, McDonald, etc. I think AA and Cro-Cop match up really well and would be some serious fireworks.

I think AA has a world of potential, we'll see what he does with it.

i agree i do not think that his chin is as bad as everybody thinks. in the fight with sylvia he was just stunned and not out. that fight shouldnt have been stopped. but im pretty sure that its guna be kongo vs. AA

I have to agree. I can't wait to see AA vs. Cro Cop. I understand that its not the best thing for the sport to rush it, but man, it will make a hell of a fight. Talk about a fight where anything can happen. Both guys are great strikers, and both have shown that they can be knocked out. Cro Cop probably has the edge in striking, but I don't think he's so far ahead that he's out of AA's league. Similarly, I know that Cro Cop can handle himself on the ground, but it seems that Arlovski would have the edge there. So much potential... (Now, I'm sure I just jinxed it, and Cro Cop will KO AA in about 24 seconds when it actually happens.)

AA vs CroCop has got fireworks written all over it.

You know neither man is gona take the back seat and they're just gona crash head on into each other. I'd still give it to CroCop because he's a technically more gifted fighter as well as having the extra weapon of kicks which AA simply doesn't have.

I'd agree with whats been said of AA's chin, I don't think its as suspect as people make it out to be but it really isn't like Hunts or Cabbages.
