UFC 81
ChadTower:
That explains why I didn't know it. I read that as meaning he was signing with some promotion named Dream. I do know K1. Cro Cop belongs there.

Dream is an MMA promotion that is owned by several former top Pride execs. It's being run by K1 like Hero's.
As far as I know, the Arlvoski fight is not being televised because he's on his way out of the UFC and they don't want to promote him before he ends up in a rival promotion. I'm sure Koscheck isn't being shown because he's a boring "lay n' pray" fighter and not a fan favorite. The one the puzzles me is Diego Sanchez. Sure, he's coming off of 2 losses, but he still brings it and is exciting.
ChadTower:
Why fight Arlovski at all, then? If you're not going to broadcast it what is the use when you could give that fight to someone coming up?

Because he has one fight left on his contract. They were about to do the same thing to Brandon Vera a year or so ago when he had one fight left and was holding out.

He probably has 1 last fight on his contract. For the UFC to honor that contract I would think they would have to put him in a fight or risk more legal action/controversy. So they give him an un-hyped undercard fight and they're done with him. Makes sense to me...
