He tries a flying knee and Fedor caught him perfectly with right hand square on the chin. Arlovski was out before he hit the ground...

I had Arlovski winning the round, also. I think his head hit the mat before the rest of him did. That was one of the greatest knockouts I had ever seen.

Typical Barnett fight. Everyone in the arena was booing, but that's just the way he fights.

Belfort did look great. We thought he killed Lindland.

I don't know if anyone had posted a good full video, but here it is. World of Combat » Fedor Emelianenko vs Andrei Arlovski Fight Video -

Yup, Tom Atencio said that would be the next fight but he wouldn't say when.

This is the matchup we have all been waiting for. Barnett is a top 5 HW and is a style matchup that Fedor hasn't seen yet. Fedor has fought guys bigger than Barnett, but none of them have had the ground skills that Barnett has. Big Nog is pretty big, but not as big as Barnett.

Barnett also has solid striking skills and is a tough dude. It will be Fedor's biggest test since Cro-Cop I think.

I wouldn't pick against Fedor, the guy is a machine, but Barnett will make a good scrap out of it I think.

Sucks the Faber vs Pulver fight lasted about 2 minutes yesterday..

Faber caught Pulver in the ribs and it quickly went down hill from there on.

Faber choked out Puvler for the win.

Yea, that was just a brutal body shot by Faber.

Pulver is done, he might have been done when he got finished by BJ. Great career but I think it is time to hang them up.

Affliction Cards > UFC Cards.

I just hope they can stay in Business.

Vitor looked great. He's very dangerous with his hands, and seems to be in the right camp with Couture. The black cloud that hovered over him for a few years, seems to be gone, and I'm happy for him.

thank god faber is back
i want him to get his title back
then take on miguel torres somehow

it sucks pulver is pretty much done, he was the man!

When Affliction is holding 18 events a year you can make a comparison. If the UFC was only holding an event every six months, I'm sure there would be a different opinion.
