This is damn near the funniest thing I’ve seen all day. No disrespect to Roy “Big Country” Nelson, after all, he just won TUF 10 but this is a riot. Observe his rolling eyes as he flubbers back into the cage and drops face-first onto the mat. Andrei is classy after dummy-ing the fool up and lets off as soon as the big guy falls…but the joke is really on all y’all though, cuz Big Country is actually a Whopper man.
It’s hard to imagine how far and hard the once feared Arlovski has fallen, in just a short period of time. On Saturday, the former UFC Heavyweight Champion was knocked senseless by the previously unknown Brett Rogers in 22 seconds. Arlovski is only 30 years old, not old by any stretch of the imagination, but his chin, like his psyche, is likely shattered. Previously, he was knocked senseless by Fedor Emelianenko, and one guy can only take so many knockouts before he can no longer take the shots anymore. See: Silva, Wanderlei.
It’s highly possible that Arlvoski took Rogers very lightly, as he had already accepted a boxing match for June 27, a mere 3 weeks after the Rogers fight. That is now out the window. Arlovski is in a strange spot, commanding a high salary, but unable to win the big fights against the big names. We’ll see what’s next for him, but at this point his options are somewhat limited. He will likely be offered an undercard fight next against a middle of the road heavyweight, but is it feasible to pay a guy main event dollars to fight in the middle of the card?
