It’s been six months since Andrei Arlovski’s stunning knockout loss to Brett Rogers and he still doesn’t have a home. However, according to Fabricio Werdum, Arlovski may be headed to Strikeforce starting with a rematch from their UFC 70 bout.
“I must fight in February or March, and I imagine that it could be against (Andrei) Arlovski. I lost to him by 2×1, it was an ugly fight, nobody liked, but I never choose opponents, I can fight anyone, but then I wanna fight Fedor.”
The second and third round of their first fight was about as exciting as watching paint dry, so I really don’t understand why Strikeforce would even consider booking the rematch. Some things are just better left in the past, and Arlovski-Werdum is definitely one them. Werdum-Rogers, Arlovski-Rogers II, Arlovski-Silva, Werdum-Fedor, Arlovski-Fedor II, Arlovski-Overeem would all make for better fights than rounds four, five and six of that snoozefest.

I agree, pick a different fight. I am glad they are thinking of signing him, but just hope they don’t pay too much, lol!
That’s probably what’s taking so long to sign him. He made what 1.5 million/fight in Affliction if I remember correctly? He has to be taking a huge pay cut, otherwise whoever signs him is crazy.
Actually it might have been closer to one million. Either way…
He should tops… be getting $60,000 with a $20-30,000 win(by ko or sub) bonus.
