pitbull should have this one in the bag

This is gonna be a tough match up. Arlovski needs to stay off the mat because Nelson is a better grappler then him.

If Andrei keeps it standing but also keeps putting pressure on this will be a great win for him.

BTW If he wins this he will be 5-0 in his last 5 with wins over Pe de Pano, Werdum, O'brien, Rothwell, and Nelson. Even though he didn't look good in a number of those fights those are real good names to have wins over. I think Andrei would have to be considered the #3 HW behind Fedor and Nogueira with a win.

Although Barnett's had a good year to.

[_RIVAL_]

Nelson is nobodys slouch, if Arlovski doesn't bring his A game he's gonna lose.

I'm def out the mix when it comes to XC doin a promo with Affliction...when did that happen???? Or how is Arlovski on an XC card?? Plus I saw the Affliction with it??

[_RIVAL_]

Arlovski is not under exclusive contract with Affliction, he doesn't want to wait around since they cancelled the last show. So He's fighting on this EliteXC card.

On a side note.........This non exclusive contract stuff is pretty cool huh? Much better than being locked under one exclusive banner. IMO.

Not true at all Elite XC and Affliction have a working relationsihp now that's why this fight is going on.

Winner is facing Fedor on the next Affliction card.

You're wrong bro. Had the Affliction card not been cancelled Arlovski would not be fighting on Oct the 4th for EliteXC.

As far as a working relationship....it is common knowledge that EliteXC crosspromotes with other orgs. That is irrelevant as to why Arlovski is fighting this Saturday night.
