Arlovsk vs Vera
Alright, I think this is a very real potential match up that we could someday see.
Now who do you take in this one?

AA all the way. He is just as well rounded as Vera, but has more power.

AA would have too much power for Vera. Sylvia had too much strength,size, and power for Vera. I think Vera is just too small for true HWs. I think Vera needs to go down to LHW.

I'd have to give the advantage to AA, but i wouldn't be surprised to see vera pick him apart and win a decision. AA is just too explosive and athletic. The difference maker here is AA's mindset. With his aggression i see AA winning this fight almost every time. Without it, it see it almost 50/50.

I could see the fight going either way. Vera's main advantage would be his speed. Arlovski's advantage would be strength and explosiveness. I think Vera is the better technical striker of the two and I could easily see him picking Arlovski apart. At the same time I could also see Arlovski simply overwhelming the smaller Vera much like Tim Sylvia did. Hard to choose, but I'll vote for Vera since it seems as though everyone else is voting for Arlovski.

arlovski hasnt looked right since his second fight with sylvia. I think vera would come out aggressive and put a hurting on him, especially after his not so good performance against tim sylvia. I jus dont see what arlovski would do to win against him.....thats jus my opinion tho. I would like to see this tho.

Brandon Vera is a really good fighter, but just not at the same level of Arlovski too me.

Vera will KO AA or submit him.
Just like what gilliam said, AA doesn't look or fight the same ever since AA vs Sylvia 2.

For me Vera would win.
Im a huge fan of both guys both quality both have the ko power, wrestling and ground work I would give to Brandon Vera.
Brandon Vera's Maui Thai skills are capable of KOin anyone and if it was not for the injury sustained against Tim Sylvia I truly believe Brandon would have KOed him.
Also I really disagree with the Brandon being to small to me its a very much Rogan comment which has no real backing.
It would be diffrent if Brandon was being knocked out thrown around and totally dismantled but not even the biggest heavy weight managed that.
Back on topic it would be close as AA is a former top dog but that what sways it for me the AA I have seen ever since his fall from the top does not have the pitbull mindset the spark.
Comes down to a couple of factors is it the old "how do you beat this guy" AA and is Brandon totally fine in mindset after his loss to TS.
If both in top form pretty realistic to say 50/50 but I still see Vera taking it.
If not the one with the right mindframe takes it.

I'd really like to see this fight, but I'd give the advantage to Arlovski.
