Andrei Arlovski

The problem is everyone's criticizing him for his chin.

Well, what do you do to protect your chin? Look at Andrei Arlovski.

What did he start doing? He started wrestling more.

George St-Pierre after he got knocked out by Matt, Matt, uh, Matt Serra.

He...

Everybody beat Andre Arlovsky, and he was supposed to face Josh Barnett, and Barnett got piss-tested and popped for PDs again.

And that was the end of Affliction.

It literally gave them a way out, and they canceled Affliction after that.

By the time Fedor fought Arlovsky and Tim Sylvia, those guys were long past prime.

I mean, Fedor was...

Arlovsky almost had him, dude.

I don't know.

Mm.

Next up, Damien Penis versus Andrei Arlovski.

Um, this was brutal.

Uh, this guy fucked up-

It's so hard to fucking get on board with the re- the new, um...

The buildup is so c- short now for these fights, it's hard to like find a fighter you like wanna follow their career and because there's so many fighters.

It's a good problem-

Well, I can be-

Uh, [laughs] 'cause I know Sean ain't picking those kids up.

Uh, uh, but, uh, um, what was I going with this? I don't know where I was going, dude.

I just think UFC's definitely took a step back when it comes to finding a fighter, finding a favorite fighter 'cause there's so many fighters.

Yeah.

This is it, man.

I know you're excited to talk about this, and so, uh, I'll go ahead and give you the stage, but, uh, Damien Penis going in against Andrei Arlovski.

Brother, leave no meat on the bones, man.

Give everyone what they wanna hear.

Penis.

I cannot wait to see him back.

I mean, Damien the Baba Yaga Penis versus Arlovski.

It's a do not blink type of fight.

It's very weird.

RDA on the full, Andrei Arlovski, you're a former UFC champion who probably should go in the Hall of Fame, and we are just kind of, like, f- putting, forgetting that you exist, and I don't know what to do with it.

It's very strange.

[laughs]

How exciting.

All right, what's up next on this funky ass card? Uh, we get Damian Piñas and Andrei Arlovski, another fight where I just go, "UFC, I see what you're doing." Um, Damian "Babyaga" Piñas is 10 and one, Andrei Arlovski 10 and five.

Six foot four to six foot one, height will go to Andrei, along with a, uh, one-inch reach disadvantage.

Damian Piñas was born the same year as me, 2002.

It's one of the more funny commentary moments where DC's like, "Damian Piñas has really got to wind it up.

He's got power in those hands, but he's just not really letting it go," as he lands a clean straight, putting Cesar out cold, and then just stands over him like, "Should I finish him?" Yeah, Damian Piñas is an absolute G.

Um, and yeah, they're feeding, uh, poor Andrei Arlovski to him.

Andrei Arlovski is kind of...

And it feels like the last, I don't even know, man, five, six years of his career are just such a strange...

This is a former UFC champion, right? And now he's doing the Andrei Orlovsky, I'm buried on the early prelims.

Of course, he's a UFC champion.

He's a guy who... genuinely should go into the hall of fame at some point like not a first ballot but like should be a hall of famer but his career has had such a weird strange into it and now he's pushing i think he turns 42 uh in a couple in a few weeks here And coming off a two-year layoff, fighting a guy who's at least been active.
