Prediction: correct Arlovski   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

Rumored for 191. Good fight, but Arlovski should be fighting for the belt IMO.

Cthulu also brings up an interesting point in the totally lame, non-official, albeit decidedly more timely version of this thread regarding Fedor things happening behind the scenes.

I do indeed, that and the fact that the other top contender (JDS) has Alistair Overeem waiting to be matched up with him apparently, so I guess that fight's going to happen? That really cuts down on the contenders for Werdum, unless they want to do an immediate rematch with Cain, which makes no sense, so unless Stipe Miocic became a huge draw overnight I'm not sure *** they plan to do with Werdum.

Andrei Arlovski should run right through Mir. With that being said, I'd be lying if I said it wouldn't be some wild ass **** if Mir just ******* KO'd Arlovski like he did Bigfoot and Duffee. 

Hope this means Stipe Miocic gets the title shot.

I think Andrei will run through Mir but I'm not sure who they want to give the next title shot to, if both JDS and Arlovski win their next fights (which I see as very likely) it's really up to the UFC who they want to give it to.

Frank Mir's new striking has definitely not impressed me so far. He could've just as easily lost his last fight, and I  don't see his chin making it through this one.

I see Mir getting KOed but Arlivskis chin is weak so he could get KOed just as easily.

Love this fight! It is a tough damn call to make. Arlovski hits like a truck but is chinny. He got stunned in the Brown fight, but then again Mir was also stunned a bit in the Duffee fight once or twice. Both guys have worked on their hands I could see this going either way. Arlovski has been on a nice winning streak though so I am going to go that route.

I have Arlovski winning this. I get a little worried for him when he fights, but then in the fight with Browne, Browne threw one hell of a shot that I think would have at least hurt most HW's, and while I do think it was more Travis gassing than AA recovering, I'm still glad AA was able to pull off that win. I saw that at Buffalo Wild Wings, and I think I honestly screamed like a little girl when AA won. Talk about nostalgia for me! I was so happy and that fight still brings tears to my eyes and a smile when I watch it. Gay, maybe. But I love when the old guard rises.

No, Travis was not gassed, he was rocked from all the shots he took.

I don't see Mir getting this to the ground but if he dod, I winder if Arlovski would tap his a leg or armlock.
