    Wasn't this said after he leapt into that punch two years ago? :huh

    What will it take to actually drive the point home? He's years removed from his championship reign and will never have another.

    Nah i think AA is worse. Thompson is bad but AA has been getting KO'ed cold since the START of his career. Thats some accomplishment. At least Thompson looked like a "killer" when he first started in MMA. AA never has. He looks like a spartan and thats where it ends.

    Iv never once thought AA was remotely close to anything that could be called a "beast".

    I got into MMA after catching Randy V Chuck 2 on Bravo. But one of the 1st events I saw all the way through was Tim v AA two(58 if Im not mistake). That fight kinda sums up the ups and downs of Arlovski's career for me, ups and downs. Only this time he aint getting back up imo

    The Arlovski fight is the last vid'. Probably best to watch the rest so you can an idea who Arlovski was actually taking on :lol:

    You know Arlovski seems to sport vampire teeth, I suspect his recent opponents have been soaking their gloves in holy water before the fight :)

    His chin is made of sugar glass. If a heavyweight contender wants a spectacular flattering ko win, Arlovski's your man. Something of a top-class Olaf Alfonso.
     
  13. Arlovski wasn't fighting confident at all and Kharitonov knew it. I have to agree with OP. time for Arlovski to throw in the gloves or get back to square one.

    AA has been getting KTFO since the start but are you saying Thompson hasnt ? In is first Pride fight he was knocked out in like 10 secounds by Aleksander. Thompson has been KOed 9 times since including once by a jab :-( Thompson has no impressive wins and while he may look like a beats by physique hes never showed anythnig beast like in the ring. From 02-08 Arlovski won a UFC Championship and beat the likes of Nelson, Sylvia, Rothwell, Matshusenko, and Werdum. Thats a pretty decent resume right there much more of a killer or beast then Thompson. Arlovski spent most of this time as a top 10 Heavyweight when the **** was Thompson this ?
