**Upcoming UFC HW Title Fight - Mir or Arlovski?!?** which matchup would you preffer?

Kongo just lost to Heath
Heath lost to O'Brian and recently to Nog (3 times in total)
Gonzaga just lost to Werdum
Werdum lost to Arlovski
Vera lost to Sylvia
Sylvia just lost to Nog
O'brian just lost to Arlovski
Lesnar just lost to Mir
Mirko's gone back to japan
Randy's walked out
Fedor never signed


Andrei Arlovski and Frank Mir are the only two top UFC HW's that deserve a shot at title right now imo. My question is this which fight would you like to see more?

Frank Mir vs Big Nog - it would make for a awsome fight, between to grappling wizzards. If Mir has the cardio it could be foty.

Andrei Arlovski vs Big Nog - Striker ve Grappler, would Nog be able to take him down? could Arlovski be the first to KO Nog? we know AA has the power. I'd love to see it.

I personally would preffer Mir/Nog, Mir is my fav HW fighter, i'd love to see him re-capture his title, he never lost it, it was very unfortunate for how it all ended for him but now he seems to be on the right path and quite frankly i'd love to see him come out with a good gas tank and decision or sub Nog.

Which match-up would you like to see?

Should be AA, with Mir fighting winner of Vera/Werdum for the next shot. Because as long as Nog has the belt, Herring should never be an option.

I'd love to see Nog vs AA first since it's a great match up and Nog's long overdue to get a title shot.


Nog vs Mir would also be a very good match.


Speaking of Mir, Mir vs Sylvia is long overdue. Mir vs Arlovski is also another big fight that needs to happen (although I think AA would wreck Mir)

I think AA deserves it and is one of the biggest threats to Nog. Nog doesn't possess the typical abilities we've seen AA falter against (heavy hands or good wrestling with solid GNP)

I think Mir will get the shot because he's unlikely (in my opinion) to continue on a run against top competition. Use him while he's still a draw and the fight's seen as legitimate.

Feed Mir to Nog and when he loses, Sylvia vs. Mir will still be a draw. I don't think Mir's ever even been close to Nog's level and will get outclassed every which way but that's the way it goes.

They are offering the fight to Randy first. After he inevitably turns it down they will probably give it to Arlovski.

This is the proper analysis. AA first with Mir taking winner of Vera/Werdum for next title shot.
