Prediction: correct Arlovski   correct Decision  

I'd probably if have picked struve if arlovski had dropped the baby fight but he looked invigorated and determined. Struve dropped his last one pretty badly and im not sure his head is in it anymore.Taking arlovski by decision.

How does somebody get "unfairly labeled chinny" when they have 10 knockout losses?

Arlovski first mma

tough to have an invincible appearing chin at HW. Both guys aren’t known for durable chins. Both have also impressed me at times when I thought they’d be KOd. He definitely has to fight smart as he gets older.

Prediction: correct Arlovski   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

Arlovski should take the Econoreem route, he's usually faster and more athletic than most HWs but for Andrei he still hasn't been working on his head movement and staying on the outside, he still gets cracked and it all depends on how much power the guy has or if he has the technique. 

Not sure Struve is the guy to do it, he's slower than Andrei but he's gotten way better at using his reach and using a jab lately. However, I think Struve has enough power to finish him and has more confidence in his chin than Andrei. I favor Struve here but I may switch back to Andrei again if I hear he's changed some things up a bit.

Prediction: wrong Struve   wrong Decision  

This fight serves no purpose other than to ensure the loser gets cut.  Even that is not guaranteed.  I like both these guys, but I don't care who wins because it doesn't matter.  I'm not interested in seeing these guys fight anymore and they shouldn't be on the roster.

Prediction: wrong Struve   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

Struve looked good in the first round against Volkov. I do think his skills are progressing nicely. Was sad watching him lose that last one, but I've been watching him on "Anatomy of a Fighter" and it looks like he's really focused and has his head in the right place. Think he takes this one by early TKO.

I had lost faith in Arlovski but maybe he has one last good streak in him, if matched up favourably.

round 1-2 KO

Prediction: wrong Struve   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

I think Struve will use his reach, pop the jab in Andreis face until he's presented with the chance to finish him, or be finished himself. Both their chins are gone, completely. I hope Struve can use some patience here, his last fight against Volkov wasn't too bad he looked fairly decent. Struve to put the final nail in Arlovski's coffin.
