Andrei Arlovski Interview

I just finished up a Q&A with Andrei "The Pitbull" Arlovski, the former UFC heavyweight champion who was beating Fedor's ass on January 24, 2009, before attempting a stupid flying knee that left him face-down. (I'm sorry, but that wound just won't heal, it seems.)

Anyway, it was good to hear Arlovski say the following:

- He has "unfinished business to do" in Strikeforce and definitely wants a rematch against Fedor and Brett Rogers.
- His focus is on MMA, not boxing (for now, at least).
- He's been working with Greg Jackson's camp, as well as American Kickboxing Academy.


Check out the whole interview here.

С ДНЁМ РОЖДЕНИЯ , Andrei Arlovski!

Happy 31st Birthday to Andrei "The Pitbull" Arlovski.

I normally don't make a habit of spreading birthday cheer to any just fighter, but AA is my man.

When Arlovski started picking up wins in the UFC (against Freeman, Cabbage, Matyushenko), my dad and I sort of adopted him as our favorite, and he's retained that title in my book ever since (alongside Babalu, Wanderlei, and Fedor).

And yes, that is a photo of my Andrei Arlovski Round 5 MMA collectible action figure.
