This dude is tough, he has some great wins inside and outside of the octogon. He's knockout guys like Roy Nelson(Dos Santos couldn't), Ben Rothwell, Vladimir Matushenko, Paul Buentello and the list goes on. If he just builds himself up from the pace he's at right now, he'll be back with a contract. All he needs to do is train hard and not get hit on that not so great chin of his. I want to see Mir vs Arlovski, we were robbed of it years ago, due to Mir motorcycle accident. Would have loved to see Couture Vs. Arlovski.

I don't think so... Wouldn't mind seeing him comeback but I doubt he'd be around for long. He'd get ko'd by all Top 10 I am pretty sure. He's not good enough for the ufc anymore.

Arlovski's UFC days are behind him. He's looked very bad in his past several fights.

The guy has taken more then enough punishment in the past couple of years, there's really no reason to bring him to the UFC.

I like Arlovski, and he was great when he was in the UFC, but he wouldn't be able to break into the top 10. They don't need him, just like they will never need Tim Sylvia again.

If he fought those 4 guys you named in the OP again, he would get KO'd now by all of them. That's really it, I like him and I'm a fan, but he doesn't belong in the big leagues anymore.

I was a fan of Arlovski but he would get destroyed but any of the top ten heavyweights in the UFC now

There is no denying Arlovski's talent. He's a great fighter. He just can't seem to protect that chin of his. He's never had a great chin, but I think getting stopped by Fedor and Rogers in a row killed his confidence.

Swickotine...You really think Buentello would KO Arlovski now?

Fir his own safety, he should be kept away from the UFC

his last two fights and his 4 before would say no, the pitbull couldn't take on strikeforce no way he could take on the ufc, no doubting the power in his hands, but the lack of in his chin, maybe throw him into a bellator heavyweight season and if he wins and can become a champion again go from there

Arlovski's head just doesnt seem to be in the right place when he fights now. If he can get his confidence and killer instinct back then he may have a shot to make it back to the UFC

Nooo I've always liked Arlovski and he was one of the first fighters I knew because he's my dad's favorite fighter but I wouldn't want to see him get knocked out by competition too tough for him. I think it's better for him to keep fighting in the smaller organizations.

Arlovski is a very marketable fighter. I think the HW division could use him if he wants to pursue fighting in MMA. I highly doubt he will be making any significant title runs in the near future. I would sure love to hear "Onward to victory" by Ice Pick once again and seeing his fang mouthpiece in the UFC.

I want Cormier and Barnett in the UFC first.

Agreed with @Torch. There are more deserving people to be in the UFC than Arlovski right now. If Arlovski does get back in I see him being fed to an up and coming prospect

@Alias Buentello has a better chin and if they stood and traded I'm sure Buentello would KO him. His chin is so shot, have you seen his last 2 fights in ProElite...terrible.

If Arlovski would use his Sambo he could still be a top 10 top 15 fighter but he is for some reason so determined to kick box with all these guys and he just isn't that good of a kick boxer to do that.

I think that if he gets 5 or 6 wins in a row he will come back to the UFC and i think if he uses all the tools that he has he could beat some of the UFC guys like Mitrion, Kongo, Nelson but he needs to use the tools that he already has.
