News From UFC 80

Dana White stated that Tito Ortiz has yet to accept Lyoto Machita's offer but he is expected to fight in May.

Andrei Arlovski is expected to fight against undefeated Jake O'Brien at UFC 82 in March. This fight is probably Arlovski's last chance to get back in the good graces of Dana White. Even if he wins, if he doesn't return to his former 'Pitbull' status, we've probably seen the last of Arlovski in the UFC.

No one knows why Arlovski has fallen out of favor with Dana White but the heavyweight division needs anyone they can get. Arlovski dismantled Fabricio Werdum and Werdum's next in line for a title shot. Arlovski needs to have a good showing against O'Brien or it's probably a different organization for him after this fight.

Mirko Cro Cop is currently thinking about his future and is undecited about what his next move is. Hopefully he gets his head on straight and can ignite the heavyweight division. So far it's looking like one of the biggest busts of Dana White's free agents.
