His last few fights were INCREDIBLY boring. I really wasn't missing him anyway. He used to be exciting, he's just FAR to cautious now.

I guess thats the reason why the UFC has been so reluctant in giving him a fight.

Feed him to Fedor.

Feed him to Fedor.

That would be a very interesting and competitive fight.

Belarusian Heavyweight Content in UFC Ranks

Andrei Arlovski’s management has broken its silence to refute a report that the Belarusian fighter is planning to leave the Ultimate Fighting Championship when his contract expires in April.

MMAWeekly.com reported Sunday that “sources close to the fighter” confirmed that Arlovski was waiting out his UFC contract in anticipation of signing with another promotion.

Arlovski’s longtime representative, Leo Khorlinsky, said this is not the case.

“We have a great working relationship with the UFC and are waiting for Andrei’s next fight there,” said Khorlinsky. “Any news otherwise is false and negligent. There is no ‘source’ that could accurately make this claim. At no point in time did Andrei or any of his representatives make this claim. Andrei is very upset to hear that these lies about him were reported.”

Khorlinsky confirmed to The Fight Network that Arlovski (11-5) was offered fights in November and March, but both opponents turned down the bouts for undisclosed reasons. Arlovski is currently training to return to the Octagon in March to complete the final fight on his current UFC contract.

“The details of Andrei’s contract negotiations with the UFC are private,” said Khorlinsky. “Andrei is a UFC fighter and his goal is a UFC title. Andrei is looking forward to his next fight in the Octagon period.”

Chicago resident Arlovski, 28, became the UFC heavyweight champion at UFC 47 in Feb. 2005, after he submitted Tim Sylvia (24-3). Arlovski defended the title two times before he was unseated by Sylvia at UFC 59 in April 2006. Arlovski has won his last two bouts to Marcio "Pe De Pano" Cruz (3-2) at UFC 66 and Fabricio Werdum (9-3-1) at April's UFC 70 in Manchester, England.

That's good news hopefully he can have a great fight.....if he should win his next fight....(providing it's not a posing contest) he should get the next title shot.

I like Arlovski, and hope he can get back to being his old self.
