Arroyo: I don’t want to pinpoint anyone. If it’s going to be someone from the show, I want to fight Tommy Spear or War Machine or someone tough like that. I would rather have someone that is coming off of a win. You really have nothing to gain by fighting someone that just came off a loss. If I beat him and he was just coming off a loss, then he wasn’t tough anyway. If they beat me, then I just lost to someone coming off a loss. So I want someone who has a win. I think War Machine would be the perfect fight for me right now. War Machine – he is tough as hell. He just had a great fight and he is hot right now. Our records are pretty close; he doesn’t have a lot more experience than I do. Tommy would be a great fight stylistically. He wants to put me on my back, and I want to be there anyway. Of course, there is always Mac Danzig, but I heard he went to 155 now, so that would be tough to match up, but maybe sometime in the future. Maybe, if he starts doing poorly at 155, maybe he will come back to 170. If I could drop to 155, I would try but I’m too tall man. I’m 6 feet tall and I don’t have an ounce of fat on me, so I would be losing muscle and who knows how strong I would be the next day.

MMAFightLine.com: Is there a chance that your fight will be on the Ultimate Fight Night in Denver in April?

Arroyo: There is a chance, but I heard the card is pretty full. There are about 9 or 10 fights already. That is what I’m going to talk to Joe Silva about tomorrow night, and if he says be ready if anyone gets injured, then we will call you up and throw you in. So I need to be ready and be in shape. I’m not one of those guys that will take a fight last minute if I’m not in shape. There are a lot of guys that do it, and it works sometimes but the majority of the time if they don’t get TKOed the first few seconds they are gassing out the second round. I’m all about preparation. The next Fight Night is in May so that’s what I’m shooting for. The April Ultimate Fight Night is pretty full.

MMAFightLine.com: So right now you are on the TUF Contract not a regular UFC Contract?

Arroyo: Yeah, it’s basically the same contract they’ve had since TUF Season 1.

MMAFightLine.com: Are you locked into a certain number of fights?

Arroyo: Yeah, its 3 fights a year with an option to renew each year – 3 years and 3 fights a year. After that, you renegotiate. If you actually make it that long and you have a good manager and agent, you are probably going to get a nice contract. All those guys from TUF 1 are getting out of their contracts 3 years later. So Stephan Bonnar and Forrest Griffin are getting nice contracts and making real money. They can fight once and make more money then most fighters can in a year.
