    Wow! Fedor's getting busy exposing one former UFC heavyweight champion after another. He already destroyed the reigning UFC heavyweight champ Noguira twice, he took care of 2 time champ Sylvia, now it's time for former UFC champ Arlovski to get his face smashed in.
    :bears:

    Wow, right when Arlovski decided to fight in his old, agressive style again. Well, I guess thats not gonna last long.

    If it took Fedor 36 seconds to sub Sylvia, Arlivski should be tapping sometime during the opening introductions.

    why? Its another UFC HW champ to add to Fedor's resume and by then Randy should be free and clear to sign up to be the fourth.:cheer:

    What is there to complain about in regards to this fight? Who should Fedor fight? Nogueira? Couture isn't interested right now. Arlovski is about the best of the rest.

    Arlovski is shit. He has a shit chin and he is not on the level. So arlovski vs. fedor on PPV is worth it for you? Fuck no. They should be out there finding some good competition for him. This fight will be over in 25 seconds.

    Lets also not forget that Tim Sylvia beat this guy not once but twice. And he is supposedly going to fight on the undercard of Marquez vs. Casamayor on September 13.

    Alright, so who's a better opponent?

    BTW, what passes for a main event in the UFC is no better than this.

    Arlovski, is a top HW and is a good fight for Fedor, no doubt about it.

    I dont know who would be a better opponent. That isnt my job. And just because the UFC puts out shit main events doesnt mean Affliction can do it.

    This will end quick. The undercard better be terrific.

    What the hell does that mean? If you can't name even one better opponent yourself how can you complain about Arlovski as an opponent?

    He's complaining because he's pissed that there isn't a better opponent out there.

    I don't know that I could name one, but I'm not complaining about Arlovski though either.

    Very easily. How can you be all for a fight between Fedor and Alovski, when Tim Sylvia beat him twice already. The same Sylvia that Fedor beat in 36 seconds. If the fight needs to be made, fine. But i dont have to be happy about it.

    So who is your ideal opponent then?

    Josh Barnett??

    Bah, the same Barnett who got his ass kicked by Crocop and Noguiera? Who Fedor easily dismantled?

    MMA math doesn't work ya'll.Arlovski is young,fast and athletic and I think he's got a shot.

    :lol: Godfather's funny. He can't name a heavyweight he wants to see Fedor fight. But he doesn't like the Fedor/Arlovski matchup.
    Hey Godfather, how about you just NOT watch it? That's what I usually do when I don't like a particular card.

    It's tough to name a fighter you want to see Fedor fight, since he's already beaten just about all of the best heavies, past and present. Arlovski is probably the best fighter he hasn't fought yet, but he's gonna get subbed by Fedor easily, or else he's gonna do what he's been known to do in the past, and that's when he get's hurt, he'll crawl into his defensive shell and just try to survive, not win.

    This is one of the reasons Affliction is in trouble. They're putting all their eggs in Fedor's basket. After Arlovski, who is a viable heavyweight that could draw good PPV numbers against Fedor? Barnett? The average MMA fan doesn't even know who Barnett is.

    And their plan obviously isn't to build their own stars. At least EliteXC has built thier own stars, regardless of how good they are or they aren't. But KJ Noons, Kimbo, Gina Carano, they're all known as EliteXC fighters. Plus they have Eddie Alvarez, who is primed to be one of MMA's biggest stars.

    I'd like to see Barnett fight Fedor, that would be an amazing fight. Plus he matches up pretty well with Fedor considering his wrestling background. I dont think theyve fought before and he is definately a top5 heavy.

    I wont buy it. Just like i didnt buy the Sylvia fight. I can name fighters, but the problem is that they are under contract with other orginazations. So there is no point in mentioning them at all. This fight is gonna blow is all im saying. And they are going to put it in PPV as well? Come on now.

    Nah i will just dl the fight afterwards and waste 22 seconds watching it. In fact, it will probably take longer to download than to watch.

    Affliction should try and get a TV deal and put it on there. Fuck the PPV. This is a TV fight.

    When did Nogeira kick Barnett's ass? I saw them fight twice. I saw Barnett win a close fight and Nog won a close fight. Where was the ass kicking? STyle wise, Barnett is a much better matchup IMO against Fedor.
