A few days late, but I managed to catch Affliction’s Fedor Emelianenko/Andrei Arlovski title fight. Arlovski was looking really good for about 3 minutes and was actually handily winning the fight until he tried to land a flying knee in the corner. Fedor saw it coming and took Adrei out of the sky with a perfectly timed right hook. Arlovski’s biggest weakness is his questionable chin anyway, but that punch likely would have taken anyone out. Despite Dana White’s refusal to acknowledge Fedor as the world’s top heavyweight, Fedor has now disposed of Tim Sylvia and Andrei Arlovski, two former UFC champs, in a combined 4 minutes or so. Josh Barnett looks to be next on Fedor’s plate, and if Brock Lesnar can get past Frank Mir, a potential Fedor/Lesnar bout would likely draw more money than any other fight in MMA history.
