UFC 195 Results: 7 Things We Learned From Lawler Vs Condit

6. Andre Arlovski's Chin May Be Gone...Again

Much in the same manner as Robbie Lawler's career resurgence being unpredictable, so too has the return of Andre Arlovski. Once the most dominant heavyweight in the game, there was a time when "The Pitbull" was a fearsome striker who was putting guys to sleep within seconds and had a deathgrip on the UFC HW belt. His trilogy with Tim Sylvia was the beginning of the end of his initial UFC run. He could never quite recapture that magic, and despite three straight wins he departed the company once his contract expired, where he would compete in various promotions such as Strikeforce and the short-lived Affliction where he suffered a serious decline. Fedor Emelianenko, Brett Rogers and Sergei Kharitonov all put him to sleep in disturbing fashion and the general consensus was that Andre was done. The human body can only take so much punishment before it loses its durability. We've seen it with so many of the greats who were known for being iron men - Chuck Liddell, Wanderlei Silva and Dan Henderson being some of the most prominent examples - and Arlovski went from being a killer to a kitten. Yet from the depths of the lazarus pit he rose a new man, and battled his way back into title contention with impressive stoppages over Bigfoot Silva and Travis Browne as well as a decision win against Frank Mir, and all of a sudden everyone was again singing his praises as one of the best in the world and it appeared his glass chin had been reinforced. Unfortunately for The Pitbull it would seem that Stipe Miocic has disproven that theory, as he was able to turn AA into shattered glass once again. It took just under a minute for Miocic to tuck Arlovski into bed and that might be all she wrote for the Belarussian's championship prospects.
