Arlovski's veteran savvy has gotten incredible. Amazing he can compete with these kids.

WHAT?!?  I don't agree with that at all.  I like Bam Bam, but Arlovski looked like he edged that one.

29-28 arlovski IMO.

Kinda glad it went that way, I want arlovski to keep fighting and tai needs a loss to kick his arse into gear gettting on top of conditioning and better sparring partners.

Arlovski edged it, me thinks.  I am surprised that Andrei still has this second wind in his career given where he was 9-10 years ago where people were questioning if he should retire or not.

I want whatever Arlovskis taking. Obviously struck a deal with the golden snitch. I got Tai up 30-27. 1 guy landed a lot, the other got rocked a lot. Easy decision.
