(Arlovski tries for the Dan Severn, sweat-soaked-grey-t-shirt look.)
Following his knockout loss to Fedor Emelianenko at Affliction: Day of Reckoning, Andrei Arlovski has signed with Golden Boy Promotions and will begin his career as a boxer, reports FightHype.com.
You may recall that Arlovski’s trainer, Freddie Roach, said he’d like to see Arlovski take on heavyweight boxing champ Nikolai Valuev if he was victorious against Fedor. Of course, he wasn’t, so maybe Valuev won’t be Arlovski’s first opponent, which is probably just as well. But whoever he does face in the boxing ring, at least he won’t be tempted to try another flying knee.
If you’re Arlovski this move makes perfect sense right now. Having lost to Fedor, there’s no immediately obvious opponent for him outside the UFC ranks. He’s already beaten Ben Rothwell and Roy Nelson, Josh Barnett has the next shot at Fedor (though it won’t happen until the summer, at the earliest), so why not put on some bigger gloves and find out whether Roach really knows a boxing diamond in the rough when he sees it?
The upside for MMA fans is we get to see someone from our world match his skills against a real boxer. We’ve all heard about how superior their striking is for so long, wouldn’t it be nice to find out the old-fashioned way? Not to mention, this could actually get people to care about boxing’s heavyweight division again, at least for a little while.

The guy got knocked out by Fedor not Roy (fat fuck) Nelson! Shit happens people get caught all the time Randy,Chuck,Wanderlie,Georges.
I'm pretty sure Fedor will get his one day the man is human.
@TUF GUY,
I go to XTREME COUTURE all the time. Anybody who goes there knows it's called XTREME COUTURE and not "Extreme Couture", as that pencil dick TUF Guy spelled it. He clearly has never stepped into an Xtreme Couture gym in his life. I also happen to know there isn't an Xtreme Couture gym in Illinois:
xtremecouture.tv/Locations.htm
So here's my formal request:
TUF guy, why don't you link us to a picture of yourself, holding a sign that says "TUF guy", so we know it's you. Then, give me a time and a place where I can meet you, anywhere in Illinois. I'll take it form there.
And for everyone else, you have no worries. When and if it happens, I'll be sure to paste pictures of his corpse for you all to see.
I really like this move for the sake of both sports. After hearing about whatg a great striker Arlovski is, let's see what he's actually made of.
You aren't joking about how many guys have called you out on this site. I've seen that gym address so many times its funny. I would like to here what happens if someone actually showed up. Too bad we never will.
Don't worry, nobody will jump in, we'll do it with Pride rules. Once you go to sleep they'll just pick you up and dump you outside the ring, the waking up part and preparing liquid lunches for the next 3 months is gonna be all up to you.
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH
I OWN YOU
good point. he just irritates the hell out of me.
dude the more you pay attention to that little pussy the more her panties get wet. its best to just ignore her and go on with your day.

This goes for any of you idiots, everyone at the gym knows I post under this name so just ask for TUF Guy. They know me.
Unless you're a member it will cost you $30.
And LOL @ the SERB working Wednesday nights, must be a great career you got going on there, working the 3rd shift at Taco Bell ROFL!!!! "OPEN LATE" HAHAHAH
Hey u little bitch. I can pretty much guarentee that I make at least twice what u make. Just make sure your buddies down there don't jump in when u start getting the shit kicked out of u. But with your attitude, u probably don't even have any friends there.
