    Mir has better submissions, and he's more durable. Arlovski has better kickboxing. It seems about 50/50 right now.

    2-1 Arlovski.

    Frank had the fight won when he took him down in the 3rd but wasted it.

    I thought AA won all 3. Impressive performance by Mighty Mouse, but I guess no one really cares.

    Due to a Live Fantasy Football Draft, REED Missed the Rumble Johnson and Paige VanZant Fights...


    REED Got Through 2 Rounds of Arlovski-Mir (& Half of his Beer) & Got Up and Left...It Became OBVIOUS Both Men were Gonna Remain OVERLY Cautious & the Fight Itself Would Go the Distance...

    KNOWING Johnson-Dodson was Going the Distance Also, REED Bailed Early...

    i thought arlovski won all 3 rounds. was unable to watch johnson vs. dodson, but sounds like it went the way i expected to. johnson is very very hard to win rounds against. not sure if i agree w/ rogan when he says that dj is the best p4p, but there's a strong case for it. he has the best wrestling and probably the best striking as well.

    I knew the arlovski was going to be a borefest when these two were all chummy in the build up.

    I thought Arlovski wanted to fight, but Mir going for the clinch made it boring. It reminded me of Mir / Crocop. Which was boring for 3 rounds before it ended with a one shot knockout. Mir would have made it exciting if he had gotten it to the ground, and Arlovski would have made it exciting if he could have stayed out of the clinch / takedown attempts.

    I'm not sure why I wasn't excited about the Johnson / Dodson fight. I watched the whole fight and couldn't believe how fast they were compared to the heavyweights. I just haven't followed the ultra tiny weight classes as much as featherweight and higher.

    I think what sets him apart from everyone even the best boxers I've seen is his feetwork. Dude has amazing feetwork maybe the best I've ever seen.

    By the way absolutely shit fucking card. I think I fast forwarded most of the fights except for the main even and that includes the Arlovski vs Mir fight. I really didn't want to see two midget chicks fight because I knew they wouldn't hurt each other even though one of them did get an armbar at the end. Shitty card nonetheless but I always enjoy watching Mighty Mouse dominate guys. Dodson couldn't do shit and got pretty beat up.
