Former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei "The Pitbull" Arlovski is officially on the Strikeforce roster. Andrei announced on his website he has signed a multi-fight deal with the organization that will last over a 16-month period.

Arlovski hasn't competed in mixed martial arts since suffering a quick KO loss to heavy-handed Brett Rogers last June. Rumours say Arlovski will lock horns with another former champion under the Strikeforce banner.
