Van Arsdale switches camps, eyes return
If things go according to plan, former UFC champion Randy Couture won't be the only well-conditioned wrestler in his 40s defying conventional logic. UFC and IVC veteran Mike Van Arsdale (8-5), at 43 years old, recently told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that he is eying a comeback after two-and-a-half years away from fighting. "You're getting older and stuff, and you kind of want to let it go," Van Arsdale said. "But I didn't let it go because I always thought, "I've got to set the record straight here. I lost some fights I shouldn't have lost." Van Arsdale won eight of his first nine career bouts. But a loss to Couture in August 2005 marked the beginning of a four-fight losing streak that would last through Van Arsdale's final appearance in 2006. Van Arsdale said serious injuries marred his preparation for those four defeats.
