    He's headlining a ProElite event in Hawaii. Damn shame his chin has eroded so bad. Considering the fact he never had a good one to begin with. He's taken so much punishment in his career and I wish he would call it quits.

    It is not his chin that is the problem, he is just facing opposition with an excess amount of punching power

    His chin has always been the problem. The majority of HW's have power, not all of the have had their lights shut completely out the way AA has

    He was doing so wonderful against Sergei too. But one shot that didn't even look that hard put him down and out.

    Oh jeez, one of the "that punch would have KOed anybody" crowd. No, prime Mark Hunt doesn't go down and out like that and neither would prime Cabbage or Fedor who ate dozens of murderous shots from a 285 lb monster. Arlovski, ever since his first fight with a Russian prison thug in Datsik, has been having his mushy mandible exposed nearly ever time it's touched.

    Wake Up Deniers, Glass Jaws Exist In MMA!!!!!

    You'll be a chinchecker, yet. While your IQ and reluctance to talk chins is definitely a negative, at least you do understand the centrality of punch resistance to success in MMA.

    UFC should cut Cro Cop then we can have Cro Cop vs Arlovski.

    Battle of the old, stale marshmallow mandibles. :yep

    I agree with glass jaws in MMA and Arlovski leads the pack. However, punch resistance in MMA and boxing vastly differ. Vitali Klitschko has a wonderful chin in boxing yet I'd like to see his reaction when Mirko Cro Cop lands a left kick.

    Not sure I have the stomach to see him get KO'd again. Not that I'm a huge AA fan, but it's nasty to see him out cold.

    Go fight mirko crocop. I always wanted to see them fight since crocop was in pride and arlovski was the ufc champion.
