Arlovski on UFC 191 detractors: 'F--k all the people'

It wasn't a division-altering, life-changing knockout, but Andrei Arlovski kept himself in the heavyweight title hunt with a victory over Frank Mir at UFC 191.

With his chin slowly crumbling and stock free-falling, Arlovski was tossed onto the UFC scrap heap in 2008, only to resurface in the promotion six years and 14 fights later, completely reinvigorated.

Since returning, Arlovski is 4-0, and likely would have booked himself a title shot with a sensational performance against Mir. Instead, he won a lackluster decision in a bout that was lustily booed by a Vegas crowd that thirsted for ultraviolence.

"You know what, I just don't want to be rude, but f--k all the people," Arlovski told Submission Radio, according to BloodyElbow.com's Karim Zidan. "It's just easy to stay on the couch and say something. Just put your gloves on and step in the Octagon with someone. Listen, I did what I did.. And actually I'm happy about some parts of the fight. For example when he took me down, he looked for a Kimura. I just escaped, I got out, and by the cage I pretty much controlled him the whole time. So there were some good parts of the fight that I was happy about."

Sure, Arlovski admits that a violent finish would have been ideal, but he isn't about to apologize for the way he conducted his business.

"But of course it wasn't a KO, and that's why people think 'oh it like...'. But it's not the worst performance," Arlovski said. "I saw the fight a few times already and I won every round compared to the judges. I don't even listen or read some stuff from the Internet."
