Arlovski back next month

Looks like he will be fighting Brett Rogers at the StrikeForce event due to Overeem pulling out with an injury.

The card as it stands

Jake Shields vs. Robbie Lawler
Andrei Arlovski vs. Brett Rogers
Nick Diaz vs. Scott Smith
Phil Baroni vs. Joe Riggs
Kevin Randleman vs. Mike Whitehead

Predictions, thoughts?

 

Nice card. Definitely gona watch this.

I think Arlovski will easily outstrike Rogers.

 

This is a very good card, Diaz vs. Smith should be a war

 

Good card, should be a entertaining.

 

I am looking forward to it, I never even thought of Sylvia and Rodgers!!! That an interesting match up. Sylvia TKO though 2nd...........

 

:huh It's Arlovski that's fighting Rodgers.

 

Anyone have a feeling Rogers will knock him out? I have seen Rogers a few times and he showed a good Chin which we all know AA does not have.

That is not a bad card really.

 

AA by knockout. I have no doubt about this.

 

Arlovski vs Rodgers? My how the mighty have fallen. Looks like they're trying to rebuild AA's confidence again.

 

Rogers is not going to be a pushover. The guy has massive power, and we know how AA likes to lead with his chin sometimes.

 

wasn't arlovski suppose to make a boxing debut?

 

Yep, on the 27th I think. But this fight with Rogers is on for sure, so I imagine that will get pushed back.

 

Huge step up for "Grim." I expect him to get clobbered. Who was Overeem supposed to originally fight?

 

I'll take...

Jake Shields
Andrei Arlovski
Nick Diaz
Phil Baroni
Mike Whitehead

 

Overeem was originally going to fight Rodgers. But he injured his hand during a fight at a nightclub. It got infected and apparently he could have lost his hand.
