    He's training with Freddie Roach.

    He always struck me as one of the few who could be slightly succesful in an actual sport like boxing.

    He can't take a punch though.

    He'll probably begin with the same level of guy Tommy Zbikowski fought and then progress to the kinda guys Butterbean was fighting.

    It might not be a bad promotional venture though, as promoters seem to always want to find the next four round gate attraction.

    I doubt it progresses very far, though, but it's certainly a way for him to make some money outside the UFC.

    Agreed. It will be interesting to see, but only after he's been fed his sacrificial cans.

    Arlovski has a chin that rivals Maurice Blocker. He can get knocked down by a strong breeze.

    Ricco Rodriguez is also going to be in the boxing ring this month...though it'll be his second pro fight.

    Ricco's the perfect fit for the modern day fat slob heavyweights. That guy has really let himself go. I don't even think he trains anymore. He's on the James Toney training program.

    If nothing else Freddie Roach will certainly teach him some things he can bring back to MMA

    I wonder if Arlovski will have awoken from the coma Ben Rothwell is gonna put him in time to fight in a boxing match?

    Arlovski is knocking him out so he'll be ready.

    That doesn't surprise me at all. His stand up has always sucked, his only strength was his BJJ.
