Arlovski v Overeem, a match-up between two guys that can't take a punch.

 

Anything can happen in that one but I predict Overeem will knock Arlovski out. He'll Overeem's knees will create an opening to Arlovski's jaw and down the Belarusian will go down and out.

Frustrating for the UFC to keep running guys that approaching or over 40 out there . Arlovski is what ? a ten year veteran ? He's going no where fast . But I still remember when he was some what intimidating -- like i said , about a decade ago.

When you want to control the universe of MMA (like Dana does) and only have a finite pool of fighters (i.e. UFC), then you have to keep presenting fights with guys who are "past their prime."
