    aka the "BTG stop ducking ArturoGatti thread". (why do you think AA will beat Fedor?)

    How do you guys see this one going?

    I don't think Fedor will go after Arlovski as quickly as he did Sylvia. I think he'll wait to for Andrei to make a mistake striking opening himself up and then try taking it to the ground.

    Fedor by submission late in the first round.

    Dude, I am telling you BTG would pick Fedor over any living creature. Man or beast. :lol:

    His pick is probably along the lines of "Fedor by whatever he wants" or "Arlovski will get Zulu'd"

    Fedor will tag Arlovski, Arlovski will go into his shell and avoid confrontation at all costs. If Fedor pushes the action, he'll drop Andrei and sub him, if not, he wins a boring decision.

    Fedor is going to manhandle and stop Arlovski in the first round.

    I'll take Fedor by sub in the 2nd. Fedor could get in some trouble if he stands with AA. I think Fedor has more power, but AA is technically a better striker. He could use the Werdum game plan and make it a real boring safe fight and possibly win a decision.

    Fedor won't let him make it a safe boring fight. Regardless of "your" gameplan, Fedor imposes his gameplan. AA won't be able to handle Fedor's aggression.

    Can Fedor stand up to a flush Arlovski right hook to the chin? If Fedor gets nailed by chance which is very possible, things could really get interesting. Arlovski, by MMA standards, has top quality hands.

    It's really hard to go against Fedor, and I won't, but if someone can beat him right now it is Arlovski. Fedor is obviously the logical choice but Arlovski is really live and it wouldn't surprise me one bit if he pulls it off.

    I pick him because he's good enough ,fast enough and athletic enough to pull it off. I think its Fedor's time ,he's been dabbing into acting and other things,so this is as good a time as any and Arlovski has the tools to pull off the biggest upset ever

    I like Fedor, but would not mind it so much if AA puleld it off. Sherdog would explode, though.

    More like vodka factory LOK:lol: Can Roach repeat his Pacquiao vs DLH prediction and strategy??? If he does here, I'll say he's truly a great trainer.

    Fedor has a better chance of surviving a fluch shot from Arlovski than Arlovski does from Fedor. Fedor has soo many advantages imo.

    I think Roach is just helping Arlovski with his stand up, not providing a strategy to beat Fedor.

    That's why I can't agree with picking Arlovski. I've seen Arlovski stopped by punches so I can envision that. But I can't say the same about Fedor.

    REED Can't Get a "Feel" for this Fight...

    REED LIKES Arlovski but Doesn't TRUST Him...REED is AWARE of Fedor's Greatness, but SURELY his Run has to END @ Some Point???:dunno:...It's NOT Easy SUSTAINING Dominance N MMA....

    On Another Thread, REED Said it'd Take Someone FREAKISH N Some Regard to BEAT Fedor...Arlovski's QUITE a Specimen, but Not a FREAKISH 1...REED Thinks Fedor will REMAIN On Top Until he Fights Brock Lesnar, a Year or 2 Down the Road....By Then, Lesnar will have Improved ALL AROUND & Fedor will have DECLINED All Around...

    Since REED Can't Get a "Feel" for this Particular Bout, he'll Go the SAFE Route...Fedor by Stoppage, No Later than the 2nd Round...

    If Fedor was fighting Fres Oquendo I may think twice, but AA should lose clearly.

    Maybe you got "the point".

    To me it's not clear yet.
