But there are tons of guys with great stand up so maybe you need to just watch more. Rampage, Shogun, A. Silva, etc. It's a shame that Arlovski just can't take a punch anymore because in his prime his hands were unreal. Fun to watch because for a 245 pound guy he was super fast with his strikes and very technically proficient.

Poor Andrei. Dude has to retire. 4 losses and all with him getting his ass beat.
I understand it is different and maybe I am used to watching boxers who only defend against fists. I am amazed there are not people killed in MMA. They put pillows on boxers hands for a reason. Men still get killed from time to time~
