Prediction: wrong Silva   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

Bigfoot Silva I believe will KO Arkovski in this rematch from Strikeforce mainly because of the way Arlovski fought in June against Brendan Schaub. This time, it's 5 rounds and not 3 meaning Arlovski's cardio may come into serious question and that leaves Bigfoot to capitalize on that for the win.

Prediction: wrong Silva   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

A rematch from 5 years back where Big Foot won decisively. I think he finishes the job this time provided he doesn't gas too quickly but I'm anticipating he gets Arlovski in the first 2 rounds.

Prediction: wrong Silva   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

Bigfoot beat Arlovski years ago and has improved since then. Arlovski also looked like crap against Schaub. Bigfoot should run him over.

How did Arlovski get a main event after that HORRIBLE fight against Schaub?

They're probably guessing that Bigfoot is going to smash him. This is one of those "send the local fans home happy" main events like McGregor vs Brandao in Dublin.

arlovskie vs schaub was it that bad of a fight? I have never seen it or even highlights to be honest, was away at the time. What was so bad about it? I am generally curious, I would have thought that make a fairly exciting fight. Was waitng for it to get on fight pass.

It was 15 minutes of The Waltz, peppered with the occasional jab

That sounds awful. Were they both guilty of the boring fight or was it one more then the other?

It was one of the worst fights, honestly. Two HWs just lumbering around not throwing anything, basically. At least Bigfoot will actually swing ffs.

dam, thanks for letting me know guys. I am not going to even bother watching that fight then, it sounds terrible. That stinks to because I thought Arlovskie looked good against Johnson and was hoping he would put on some exciting  fights in the UFC.

Arlovski is going to get hit by one of Herman Munster's meathooks and that is all she wrote.

Arlovski looked slow on his last fight so hopefully he is not in this one.

Prediction: correct Arlovski   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

hoping for arlovski here. I am guessing he will start a bit tentative so he doesnt eat a big shot then start pressuring a bit and im hoping for an overhand right followed by some ground and pound.

Tough fight, hope it's a little better than last time they fought, but after seeing Andrei's last performance, gotta go with Bigfoot, altho no TrT this time, this is a gimme kind of fight

Nice to see Andrei's career resurgence. I hope it continues, I've always liked him.

Props to everyone that picked AA. I thought Bigfoot would be too much for him at this point, glad I was wrong.
