hopefully he doesn't try to run and hide like he did against Werdum

3 Sorry? Did you watch the fight? I mean, granted... the fight was uber boring. But that wasn't necessarily AA's fault. Both fighters weren't taking the initiative, but a unanimous 30-27 victory for the Pitbull shows that he deserved it. 3132428

6 Yeah, I watched it, did you? Arlovski may have connected with a few more punches (timid punches while running away like a little girl), but Werdum actually tried to make a real fight out of it, which AA obviously wanted no part in. I'm not arguing who won or lost the fight, but Arlovski RAN and was only looking to win a cowardly decision so he could get back on track for a title ****...which is no doubt the reason why he wasn't featured on the main card in his next UFC event. Weak. Like I said, can't wait to see him get pummeled. 3134696

5 Yeah, I watched the fight, did you? Arlovski may have connected with more punches (mostly timid punches while running away like a girl), but Werdum tried to actually fight and engage Arlovski. I'm not arguing who should have won or lost the fight, but Arlovski RAN and wanted no part in fighting, which is no doubt the reason why he was not featured on the main card in the next UFC card he was part of. Like I said, can't wait to see Fedor pummel him. 3134592

4 Yeah I watched it, did you? He may have won by connecting on a few more punches (mostly timid punches running away), but Werdum was trying to engage and fight a lot more than Arlovski. I'm not debating who should have won or lost the fight, but the fact is that Arlovski RAN and wanted no part in fighting. He was obviously trying to win a cowardly decision and NOT trying to fight. It's no doubt the reason he wasn't on the main card for the next UFC event he was part of. Again, like I said, can't wait to see him pummeled. 3134489

1 Nice...can't wait to see Arlovski get embarrassed...hopefully he doesn't try to run and hide like he did against Werdum. After he gets submitted or knocked out he can go back to fighting bums like Roy Nelson. 3123828
