It doesn't read that way it all and makes no such suggestion whatsoever. What it does indicate is that "ONE FC might be a perfect place to do it". What the Author is talking about is continued and more exposure for Arlovski to help keep and maintain momentum.
Very simply put OneFC is one of the biggest Promotions in the world is the very biggest Promotion in Asia bar none, as everyone knows!
The more Fights a Fighter can take and make good with the Biggest Promotions the more chance they to accelerate both growth and interest in some case where they might have had a "hit a dry spell" a chance to "rejuvenate his career" but also noted by the author of the article "he has done well for himself recently with new promotion ProElite".
And the comment made "and this does not indicate a partnership or cross promotion" well nobody said it did. My comments was merely the suggestion of "wondering" if there might that be and based on the fact Pro had worked with a previous largest Promotion in Asia it would make sense there also could be in this case.
And since you chose to ignore the my actual following comment it reads as follows "In either case it is great to see Arlovski still getting the attention of other Top Promotions and I would think he would have the blessing of ProElite at the very minimum and another big Win would look great on his Record for a Big Return back to ProElite when called for Upcoming Events." which is true.
In all likelihood he has the blessing of Pro and in reality it is highly unlikely the Contract with Arlovski is exclusive as largest number of MMA Promotion Contracts are not, much less it probably only really would apply to Fights on US or maybe North American soil.
This is all good for Arlovski and in my view even Pro no matter the case as this will keep Arlovski in front of large audiences only continuing to raise his market value especially if he were to maintain a Winning Streak at another big Event. If he looses he is still only one Fighter and no Promotion is built solely on one Fighter. The UFC continued to put a guy like Tito Ortiz out there to Headline or Co-Headline Events with a current record of with a record of 16 wins and 11 Losses with only 1 Win in his last 9 Fights/Events and then put him in the in the UFC Hall of fame with a record of record of losing 41% of his fights. Arlovski already has more Wins than Tito and less Losses, so all good in my view.
This very well could be great for Pro in either case, as this courtesy which I assume is in place, may also allow them to draw from the OneFC roster which is Full of great Fighters for future Pro Events, even if it not a formal Partnership or Co-Promotion which there is no requirement for, for this to happen, a return courtesy is definitely more likely happen on top of the again pure exposure for even Pro as noted mainstay for Arlovski for last while, much less again future Events.
Go Pro!
