On the UFC website where they talk about the signing of Brock Lesnar they mention the fighters currently in the Heavyweight division but they don't make any mention of Andre Arlovski;

Quote:

Lesnar’s signing to the UFC bolsters a talent-rich heavyweight division that includes former PRIDE heavyweight champion Antonio Rodrigo ‘Minotauro’ Nogueira, Cheick Kongo, former two-time UFC heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia, Brandon Vera, Gabriel Gonzaga, Mirko Cro Cop, Fabricio Werdum and Heath Herring.

What's do you guys think is going on with that?

I know..it's kind of sad...AA doesn't deserve to get lost in the shuffle as he helped build the UFC.

He must still be in contract negotiations. It will probably all get worked out in the end, I doubt they will let him go and I doubt he will hold out forever for top money.

Looks like same stuff Dana is pulling every time fighter's contract is up.

Arlovski is supposedly holding out for a pretty big increase in pay from his old contract while Zuffa is maintaining that AA isn't worth what he is asking after losing 2x to Sylvia and a boring win over Werdum.

I think that was Dana's way of saying.. if AA is going to be up in the air concerning his contract.. we aren't promoting him until he signs.
