Where does Arlovski fit in?

I dont think AA's chin is as bad as everyone is saying, i know im a big Arlovski fan so i wont go too far with my defence but when he got ko-ed by sylvia, he was never out, he was fully aware laying on the ground with his hand semi-blocking the shots, but when you have 275 lbs of fat ass on your back its hard to get up, especially when you are rocked like he was, but not out. then when you look at their boring ass 3rd fight, he got caught with some solid shots and his "glass jaw" didnt shatter like you guys are making it sound like it should have

Well power in the since of big strong dude, then yes. But as far as punching and KO power, not really. I mean the guy does not have that good of stand up at all for the most part. He has what only won maybe 2 fights by striaght KO.

As far as AA's chin being worse then CC, probably. But CC is not known for a great chin. Even when he was in K-1 it was a knock against him that he did not have a great chin. So yea, AA if he gets the opening can knock CC out. But the same can be said about CC. Anyway if this fight happens it will be a quick KO.

Arlovski pulled off one of the only KOs I have ever seen from someone laying on his back.So I would say he has KO power for sure.

I think Dana White is asking himself that question as well, that is the reasoning behind the Werdum fight because lets be honest, casual fans have no idea who Werdum is, yet this will be AA"s most difficult fight to date (barring Datsik of course).

So IMO what this looks like is Dana giving Werdum a chance at instant cred in the UFC meaning this match is actually geared towards Werdum and not AA because if AA was to focal point for a title shot shortly, he would be fighting Jake O'Brien and not Fabricio.

Just my 2 pennies.

And Afro is right about the Randleman thing and him being known for having power (though he is recognized for his wrestling). Quinton was interviewed and asked "of his oppoents, which one hit the hardest" Quinton replied "Randleman, that motherfucker hit HARD".

This coming from Quinton who has had huge shots bounced off of his chin by Chuck and Wanderlei so I take Quinton's word on it.

That left hook Mirko ate made him just crumble. I have not seen many heads snapped to the side that viciously from a left hook. Mirko's chin is solid, he has eaten lots of big shots in K-1 and been ok (though Michael McDonald hurt him badly but Mirko was taking them well).

AA was not really on his back though, he was basically sitting up and Cruz has a very frail chin but yeah for sure AA has brutal KO power in his hands.
