Scott of MMANews.com: I'm here today with former UFC Heavyweight champion and current top contender "The Pitbull" Andrei Arlovski. Andrei, how are you doing today?

Andrei Arlovski: Good, and you?

MMANews.com: Great. I wanted to start off by asking you your thoughts on your performance against [Fabricio] Werdum at UFC 70. I thought it was a good fight.

Andrei Arlovski: Thank you. I have the same opinion about the fight. Seriously, I was in great shape and followed instruction of my trainers. I am very glad I won.

MMANews.com: Where do you see yourself in the title picture?

Andrei Arlovski: It's up to UFC. I am ready when they are. Right now I am a contender and can wait in line like everyone else.

MMANews.com: How has your training changed in the last year?

Andrei Arlovski: I started training with a new cardio instructor and two trainers in freestyle wrestling. Tim Allegretti from West Loop Gym for cardio and Sean and John from Overtime Wrestling.

MMANews.com: How do you feel you match up with Fedor [Emelianenko], the Pride Heavyweight champion?

The part from the title of the thread was cut off. Now we will never know what AA thinks about getting knocked out by Fedor.
