Report: Dana White wants Arlovski back in the UFC
In Kevin Iole's latest mailbag article on Yahoo.com, there's an interesting quote from Dana White regarding Andrei Arlovski.
According to Iole, White said the following:
“It’s funny you should ask me that. We were just talking about Arlovski. We want to sign him. It’s our intention to sign him. But I don’t know. We’re, well, I don’t know. We want to. Whether we will or not, I have no idea. We like Andrei and I know the fans like Andrei. I hope we can do something.”
It appears that White understands Arlovski's popularity with the fans, which at the very least makes the heavyweight a financial asset for the promotion.

Let Vera earn a shot first! He faced two high level guys (one of them at a bad period of time) and lost to the other) Should he be getting a title shot? I think not!

well... should Mir get a title shot? He is what... 3-2 since his come back? (and who has he beat that would be considered legit?)
And who else is there besides Vera and AA (assuming Dana gets him back)? There are not a whole lot of worthy contenders in the HW ranks...
Werdum is the only other one that comes to mind and he recently lost to both AA and Big Nog. HW division sucks....
Good question but if he is
