hahaha….I think Fedor weakness can be low leg kicks…especially to disarm/slow down his momentum. Another over zealous fighter falls prey while going in for the kill assuming that is adversary is hurt (did Fedor bate him?).

Wow! What timing on the overhand right! Arlovski got slightly overzealous and pop goes the weasel. Lesson 1 – Whether you slam Fedor vertically on his head or on your way to kneeing him on your way to “Baddest man on earth” status, Never, Ever, let down your guard.

Man, Fedor. Looked human for a second, but he is unbelievable. AA REALLY came to play and was sharp, but BANG! Fedor kept his composure and his aim was perfect. He just packs so much firepower. Good job by AA, he was winning the round, but Fedor is just rediculous. Make a slight mistake and it’s over.

adambomber Says, in 1-25-2009 at 02:10:25 from 99.23.127.30    

i think Fedor baited him , yes.

it was funny Fedor acted like he was hurt/fightign careless as he bounced off the ropes from that front kick, then bam right hand, good night.

why did Arlovski go for a flying knee with his hands down? Damn i wanted to see both fighters fight smart, Arlovski was hurtin Fedor in the first few minutes, it appeared anyways, because i was gettin scared.

i call for a rematch sometime, and i want Arlovski to not attempt any spectacular flying knees, stick to punches and kicks and keep your hands up.

Keep your head up andrei, but remember to always use adequate caution, it was Fedor for petes sake, not roy nelson.

Andrei made a huge mistake by using a flying knee strike without grabbing his head, and pulling down. Got to happy with throwing knee’s, he should have known better then to take a huge risk like that. Disappointed in him.

Anyone care to guess to is a great low leg kicker and a powerful forward striker…….The Babyface Assassin.

As much as I would like to see Barnett v. Fedor, I would rather see Barnett v. Arlovski. If Fedor wins that bout Affliction has NO future. Who else is going to fight Fedor?

Next Affliction fight card should NOT include Fedor if Affliction wants a future. PLEASE bring back Arona.

Next Affliction:
Barnett v. Arlovski
Alistair Overeem v. Gilbert Yvel
Sergei Kharitonov v. ?
Aleksander Emelianenko v. ?
Ricardo Arona v.?

Josh v Fedor. I will tell you first that Josh has a great chance to win this fight. He can stand and strike with Fedor and he has a great ground game. I would love to see it but after that then where would Affliction go? There is no one else for Fedor to fight if he beats Josh. I would love to see the UFC and Affliction merge. Brock would not be able to hold on to that title long. I said it first Josh Barnett beats Fedor! GO JOSH!

Of course he meant the knee, i am saying that he did it with no protection, no smart fighter puts his hand way open to get hit in the face, i would say a good way to balance it out, would be grabbing his head FIRST, pull down, THEN knee strike. The opponent can not strike with much force this way.

Ok I said that Fedor bated him…

I also think that Arlovski mistook his straight kick that pushed Fedor into the corner as an effective strike. He acted as if Fedor was hurt and he was going in for the ko.

Alistair Overeem will be the first to beat Fedor.

Who keeps writing another FORMER UFC Heavyweight? FORMER is the word. Fedor is the man, no doubt – but he is fighting former – released from the UFC – ex-heavyweights. What is disappointing is Fedor’s run of fighting the same people in pride and ex-UFC champs posibly past their days of glory. it would have been great to see him fight when they were on top of their game. Who would even pay to see cotoure and fedor now?

And why wouldn’t you want to see fedor sign a contract with the UFC? I think the UFC has proven they have the best fighters in the world – period. I think he would have made more money in the UFC than what he has been making. I believe Tim Sylvia was even paid more than fedor when they fought. Doesn;t make sense to me.

To the person that said lesnar is a joke. Think what you may but his short MMA stint is getting everyone’s attention. I don’t think he is ready for fedor, but give him another year.

Here’s another Joke – MIR KNOCKING OUT BIG NOG!

fedor was vulnerable tonite and AA was controlling the stand up,up to that point in the fight. wouldve been great.

mymuthai Says, in 1-25-2009 at 04:39:02 from 68.194.98.69    

Freddie must be really pissed. Arlovsky was fighting smart with crisp straight punches and leg kicks. Fedor’s standup was okay. He showed the most head movement I have ever seen from him before. That overhand right is always dangerous. Arlovksy made a HUGE mistake. I’m willing to bet Roach told him at least 100 times to keep away from Fedor’s right side. He threw the flying knee off killer instinct, but he needed to use his head. That’s how the best stay dominant, they use their heads. Tiger, Jordan, Ali, cliche, A. Silva? cliche, blah, blah…all “heady” athletes.

Вот что я могу сказать по поводу етого боя Федора с Арловским.
Федя на самом деле,провёл 1 этап подготовки к бою,вместо 3.
Не было времени на тренировки,из за занятости,контракта и давления из вне.
Фильм с Федей,рекламы и.т.д. это всё пришлось делать в ущерб подготовки к этому бою.
НО теперь,как сказал тренер Федора,ни каких договоров,фильмов в ущерб нормальной подготовке к бою.
Федя выйграл на старой базе подготовительной и дезинформацыя по поводу норм подготовки,это утка,не было её,НЕ БЫЛО!!!

Not to take anything away from the way Fedor trains but sometimes I just think that instictively he’s a natual born killer. AA does seem to have a glass jaw though huh? Kinda reminds me when AA faught Paul Buenatello and you had to see the replay to see what happened (where the KO came from). One punch KTFO!

The only heavyweight matchup matchup I want to see is Lesner vs Fedor. I think Lesner runs right through Mir next time (like he almost dod the first time). I don’t think Lesner can beat Fedor but I think that big corn-fed (steroid-fed) MInnesota boy is second to only Fedor. Hopefully by this time next year it might be a reality.

AA fought well and seemed to have a good strategy going. However Fedor was fighting his usual patient manner with heavy strikers just as he did with Cro Cop.

He sized him up and landed the bomb that’s all she wrote. I’m sure some Fedor haters are going to say something stupid like he got lucky and would have lost the fight.

AA looking good for half a round doesn’t equal a win, remember Anderson Silva got manhandled by Dan Henderson in round one and then choked out Hendo the next round, that’s mma.

Fedor is the man, and without a doubt is the top fighter in the world today. Josh Barnett is another fighter with all the tools to give Fedor a run, but I fear he’ll get his ass handed to him as well.

yoububg Says, in 1-25-2009 at 11:27:19 from 24.63.55.56    

Wow, that was obviously a severe case of baiting your prey. I think Fedor wanted Arlovski to feel comfortable on the feet so that he would get overconfident and come in(like he did) and pay for it with a looping right hand. I will probably get some backlash on this, but I think the only fighter who can beat Fedor is (yep I said it) Brock Lesnar. Don’t get me wrong Fedor is on a different planet than Brock Lesnar when it comes to the MMA game, but I think Brock could possibly out power him and take it.

darkmetal Says, in 1-25-2009 at 11:38:21 from 74.61.152.70    

Arlovski didn’t look as good at boxing as his coaching by Freddie Roach should have dictated. He let himself be pushed against the ropes early in the fight, and then pushed into the corner. A good boxer would never let himself be “guided” into dangerous spots like that. Then he foolishly moves into the dangerous range of Fedor, thinking he could finish it with a knee? Lyoto Machida looks so much better than Arlovski; he never would have made the mistake of over-reaching, and he would have circled more to avoid Fedor’s strong side.
I was hopeful that Arlovski would have become a skillful boxer and we could have seen the skills that could beat Fedor, but what we saw was a fighter who was not much evolved since his days in the UFC.

supershupe Says, in 1-25-2009 at 12:44:25 from 98.134.194.24    

It would have been nice to see the fight go the distance. Anyone scoring the fight up until the KO would have had AA up 10-9. AA looked much better than Fedor, but a solid chin and solid punching power is the ultimate equalizer. AA wins the rematch if the same AA and Fedor show up, but Fedor will more likely be more aggressive and the fight will have the same outcome as the 1st. Fedor need to enter in to prove to the fans that he is the best MMA heavyweight. My guess is that he is a top 5 contender, but the division is weak overall. Very few true heavyweights, fewer more good ones.

First of all, I don’t think Fedor at any point was hurt, or was in danger of being dominated by Arlovski. Just because he threw a couple of good combinations doesn’t mean the entire fight was going to go that way. Those of you that know Fedor, or MMA, know that even champions take awhile to get accustomed to the style of their opponents. IMO, Fedor baited him and pretended to be hurt and overconfident with his hands low. He is so good, that it is no longer fun to watch him fight. It’s gotten to the point that I’m afraid of him losing. His record is so perfect, that if he looses I know a lot of people are going to start talking $hit about him. Babyface Assassin is good and has a REALLY good chin, BUT if you can’t beat Gilbert Yvel in less than 2 rounds, then you got problems.

Fedor is number one. Who gives a flying flip about what Dana White says? The UFC has the best 205 lb fighters in the world, but their HW division is a little suspect. Both Fedor and Barnett would destroy Mir, Big Nog and Lesnar. Period.

You got to give it to Fedor, the precision of the right hand punh to counter Arlovski flying knee kick in mid air and completely knock out Andrei was worthy of a champion. I was watching the fight at a bar and you could hear everyones amazement when he landed the punch.
Definitely one of the best fights in my book.

fed-em is really a legend. fred roach is right though arlovski is better boxer than fedor and fed-em is heavy handed. what they dont know that if arlovski is good stand up fighter. fedor is good in looking for opening, mistakes and weakness in a good fighter. dont you guys noticed that fedor is the only fighter i think from pride who is still doing it.
fedor is the only reason why ufc is not the best league around cause ufc dont have the best. right dana?

Arlovsky shoulda stuck with Freddie Roach’s plan. He was definitely winning and should kept boxing Fedor just like how Pacquiao did De La Hoya. Fedor had a lil mice on his left eye already. Dammnn Fedor got some focus for sure. Saw it and took it like what he does, but I had arlovski winning it cuz of Roach

DFA Says, in 1-25-2009 at 16:04:37 from 71.10.49.154    

Its easy to criticize AA’s choice to go for the flying knee in hindsight, but there was nothing wrong with the decision to do so. His boxing was landing, but barely phasing Fedor who looked to be stunned from a very solid push kick. AA wanted to finish the fight right then and there not win on points because he knew Fedor could take advantage of his suspect chin and weak ground game at any moment during the fight.

In the end AA who’s primarily a stand-up fighter who trained nothing but stand up for this fight with possibly the best boxing coach in the States, couldn’t even last one round against Fedor in a fight that never even hit the ground. Fedor is miraculous.

Fedor is not the only guy from Pride that is doing well. Barnett is still kicking ass, Anderson Silva still is king in his weight class, Rampage is still doing well, Hendo is doing just fine, and when Shogun gets his cardio back we’ll talk about him. Big Nog was just fine until a rejuvenated Mir clocked him, but at least Mir is a real mma fighter and not an over hyped WWE wrestling star.

For those of you that think Lesnar is too big and strong for Fedor take a good look at his size. He’s been the smaller fighter in almost every single fight he’s been in. Look up some old Fedor footage and there’s a guy that looks just as big, if not bigger than Lesnar and Fedor just picks him up, slams him and arm bars him like he was throwing around a sack of potatoes.

Lesnar would be cannon fodder for Fedor and truly is a disgrace to the sport to even compare the two. I can’t wait until Mir submits him again, then we can get back to watching actual martial artists plying their trade.

Wow, some people here are really ignorant. Wake up people, the UFC’s heavyweight division isn’t all that great. Why? Because their pay sucks. Brock Lesnar is the only guy making good money in the UFC.

Tim Sylvia and Arlovski weren’t discarded by the UFC — are you kidding me?? They LEFT so they could make about 4 or 5 times what they made in the UFC. How many heavyweights in the UFC are better than those two? Just Mir, Big Nog, and Lesnar, really (and Nog was getting dominated by Sylvia until the guillotine).

And jeez, Arlovski is not washed up — he’s 29! Sylvia’s 32. Both are still in their primes, and I’d say Arlovski is a little improved from his UFC days.

If Fedor actually saw that flying knee coming and adjusted his strike in turn then double of that WOW!!! Damn. I don’t think Dana wants any of his big boys to have any parts of Fedor. Given that an old man gave his current champ all he could handle and had him gassed in the first round…I know he don’t want none, but it would be nice to see(while it lasts anyway).

anyways what pisses me off , how come the loser get 1 million dollar and fedor gets 300,000 dollars only? how fair is that?

Fedor is the man, BUT PLEASE – former UFC champs is what he is fighting. It doesn;t matter what age the fighter is – 29 for AA. If they are not at the top of their game, age isn’t the factor. They left the UFC, because the UFC fans and management didn’t want to see them – The heavyweight division overall is the weakest division out ther bar none. That doesn’t take away from Fedor. He is the man.

To the people hanging onto the pride days – PLEASE. This is about the only shining light. It really doesn’t matter anyway – UFC bought out Pride and now we have a stage for all the best fighters in the world to fight.

To the person stating all the prior UFC champions like Mark Coleman – C’Mon – he won a tournament back in what UCF 8 and lost later before going to pride. Nog? Interim Champ – what is that? The key is Fedor has beat all the “FORMER” UFC Champs not at the time they were on top of the Heavyweight Division I might add.

Hey, I think it was fedor’s camp that ran away from deals with the UFC. It’s kind of funny how the “former” UFC has beens are making 3-4 times mroe money to fight. Dana must be laughing his $#$#@ off. With all the top fighters in every class but the heavyweight division in the UFC/WEC, who looks the most foolish. Fedor is number one and making less money. Doesn’t make business sense to me.

Like anderson silva, fedor is too good for his own good. He was clearly carrying arlovski along in that fight. It makes no sense any other way. That wasn’t the usual fedor. The affliction guys probably wanted him to drag the fight out longer so that next time he fights, people with think he isn’t THAT good. If every fight is 30 seconds long, people aren’t gonna pay 45 bucks to watch it.

Thats why anderson silva danced around his last fight too. Dana white isnt stupid. No ones gonna pay to watch a guy fight a bull dozer(well i would).

LMFAO Says, in 1-26-2009 at 14:38:42 from 89.181.49.128    

I believe Anderson is an amazing striker, but the reason I say Fedor is best is because Anderson cuts SOOO much weight to beat up people with shorter arms and less leverage than himself in the weakest division in the sport, that it’s not even funny. (According to Anderson he is naturally 220lbs, 6′2. and fedor’s current walk-weight of 219lbs 6′0)

I’m just having a lot of trouble seeing Anderson outstrike a K1 World Championship finalist heavyweight with one hand (Fedor did)

A silva is a chicken if he was a man he was fighting l. heavyweight or heavyweight is natural weight. FEDOR doesent cut weight

mygif_alt
aburton Says, in 1-26-2009 at 16:14:06 from 71.8.85.20    

First Fedor was just a few pounds under AA who came in the weigh in at 237. Fedor was 230 at weigh in. There is no way he walks at 219 and gains 11 pnds for a fight. He may stay at 230 but I bet when not training he is 240.

How also do you make the claim that Silva fights in the weakest Division? Is heavy weight the best division? What is? I think he fights in a pretty stacked division and has even fought up in weight and won in seconds.

Not saying who is better because it’s apples to oranges.

But some of your facts are not straight;)

mygif
Niv Says, in 1-26-2009 at 16:16:16 from 70.68.183.85    

I see the question about why does Fedor get paid less?

Sorry I can’t remember the source but I read recently that Fedor gets a percentage of the gate, a winning bonus and owns his own likeness rights and rights to all of his video. This could translate to a lot of money internationally and that’s the number one reason he doesn’t sign with the UFC and destroy Lesnar.

The guy is a trailblazer and if the sport is lucky he’ll never lose and Affliction gains more fighters. Monopolies are not healthy in any business and sport and I fear as good as the UFC is for marketing itself and holding the largest stable of fighters, ultimately they’re bad for the sport in the long run.

MMA needs to be able to pay their fighters better and should allow them to at the very least own their own likeness rights and profit share.

This sport will truly evolve when you have many competing organizations and can have an undisputed champ in every weight class that people can easily identify. Boxing has basically killed itself off by not sticking to this principle like they used to.

I think the longer Affliction lasts, the better for mma. Hopefully they attract more fighters in all weight classes and start to make noise. They certainly have some good backing with Trump, Finklestein and Dela Hoya.

We were all worried for Fedor in that first round..if AA stayed doing standup and didn’t go in for the kill so early(it’s not like he had rocked Fedor at all yet)then maybe ..just..maybe the fight would have had a different outcome.
Fedor is the man..he capitalizes on any little holes you give him..AA maybe has superior standup..but you gave an opening..next time(or in teh past) Fedor’s oppenent had superior ground..but he exploited that one little opening..best all round i guess you could callhim then…
Danby you are wrong..people will pay to see a guy bulldoze through his opponents in 30 secs..Mike Tyson didn’t make all that money to lose any other way..Dana White needs to loosen the reigns and give Fedor a fucking contract that pays out..everyone one else is taking what they can get with UFC..the conditions are pretty harsh and you are owned for a period..now with Affliction coming up, maybe there will be options for fighters..and if affliction can get away from the shit production and cheesy crack smokin’ commentator, we’ll see more guys opt for a contract with them once their time is up with UFC.
and to the idiot who was questioning why tito ortiz was pronouncing Fedor..feeador..it’s because that is how his name is correctly pronounced..you anglo-centric gimp.

Hey You Guys—

According to MMA WEEKLY, Arlovski made 1.5 million for this fight and Fedor made 300K. IS THIS TRUE? If it is true then Andrei is surely laughing his ass off all the way to the bank and the minds of the Affliction matchmakers is in serious need of an M.R.I…….WTF!

mygif
Niv Says, in 1-28-2009 at 17:41:14 from 70.68.183.85    

So after Fedor destroys Sylvia and Arlovski, the argument has become Fedor has only beaten “FORMER UFC CHAMPIONS”.

What kind of argument is this? The current UFC Champ has two wins, his latest against a 45 year old fighter who hadn’t fought in a year and a half. His other win was against Heath Herring who is way past his prime and simply did not have the tools to put him away. Fedor annihilated Herring when he was considered a real threat for the Pride HW Championship.

Talk about having blinders on, get over it guys, Fedor is simply the best and most dominant fighter on earth today. I respect that Anderson Silva is an outstanding fighter, BJ Penn and GSP are fantastic as well, but no one fighter is as dominant as Fedor is today.

We always seem to find excuses saying Fedor ducks competition, really? All he has done is stepped into the ring against Champions from all sorts of fighting organizations and beat all of them. Semmy Schilt is a 7 foot multiple K1 Champ, lost to Fedor. Cro Cop at the peak of his career, lost to Fedor. Big Nog undefeated and considered unbeatable destroyed twice by Fedor. The names keep piling up yet the keyboard warriors still think he hasn’t proven anything.

Stop being blind fans devoted to one organization and be fans of the fighters instead. Anderson Silva was a great fighter long before he came to the UFC, you guys just didn’t know that until he signed there. Rampage was a great fighter before he came to the UFC, so it is possible that other great fighters fight elsewhere, give them the respect they deserve and stop trying to tarnish their accomplishments.

IMO..
i think Fedor was hurt.
An def on the brink of defeat.
Arlovski saw he had this fight,
thought it was over befor it was,
an tried to look even more impressive,
cause he had the P4P best fighter on the brink of handing him his 2nd lose.

Arlovski should have stuck with what he was doing an jus dropped dude.
Screw being flashy,
whether you finish with a flying knee or a right hook,
you would have a WIN over fedor..
that’d be enough for me.
haha.
