Arlovski Not As Good As He Thinks
Or, said another way, not worth the amount of money he thinks he deserves as reported by Steve Sievert at Chron.com.
Andrei Arlovski only has one fight left on his contract with the UFC and is currently in the midst of a contract re-signing negotiation. Even though he has been UFC Champion, has an amazing looking girlfriend, and could have some celebrity appeal, the UFC doesn’t seemed overly concerned with retaining the Pitbull. Maybe Arlovski isn’t as “Hollywood” as he thinks?
Sievert recently spoke with UFC match-maker Joe Silva who more or less said that the MMA juggernaut doesn’t “need” the former champ and he doesn’t have anywhere else to go. Pretty harsh words, but Arlovski has dug his own grave with his last four unimpressive fights (Arlovski vs. Sylvia 3 being one of the worst fights of 2006). Although we’d like to see him resign with the UFC, if he does he needs to grow out the beard and chest hair and become the beast that he was back in 2005.
