What's your thoughts on the up and comming Fedor / Arlovski fight on Sept.11?

Question

I'm a BIG MMA fan , and really like to watch Andrea Arlovski but Fedor is a brutal badass in the MMA!!! but so is Arlovski,

I really think this is going to be the fight yo see!

Sept. 11 PPV Afflicton II

Answer 1

Lets see....... Tim Sylvia & Andre (The PitBull)  Arlovski have fought a total of three times..... in which Sylvia won two of the three fights.... Then Sylvia gets dominated by Fedor in less than a minute. So I believe that to have the thought that Arlovski even has a chance is impossible!!!!

Answer 2

Fedor wilwin even though I hate going against AA

I thought Barnett was going to get the next crack at Fedor but guess not

Other match-ups I predict

Barnett vs Rothwell (need a guaranteed win for Barnett)

Sylvia vs Rizzo

Buentello vs Aleks

Answer 3

Candy Routure wants Fedor to get beat up by Andrei before he fights Fedor. Candy is such a wuss.

Answer 4

I cant see fedor even breaking a sweat,

he has demolished everyone he has come up against.

Answer 5

The fact that people are counting Arlovski out is a testament to the fickle nature of MMA fans...a few short years ago he was considered the best thing to ever happen to the heavyweight division. A few lackluster performances later, he's all washed up? We're talking about a former UFC champ, who's still young, skilled, experienced, and dangerous in all aspects of the game. Fedor has better standup? Arlovski is a K.O. artist; maybe the best "boxer" in the heavyweight division. And he's a noted practitioner of Sambo. So submissions definitely aren't foreign to him.  Wrestling/ takedown defense is the weakest part of the game for Arlovski, and that's where Fedor will probably take him. But an easy win? I think not. At least it will go longer than the Silvia fight. Fedor will get a decent work out from this match.

Answer 6

one thing arlvoski is a very good fighter still, did you not see affliction 1???

but anyway fedor would murk him, but i really dont think it will be as easy for him as tim was

arlovski has a really good chin and i could imagine the fight going well into atleast the seconde round befor fedor would take him down and do what he does.

also fedor hasn't walked through everyone hes fought.

I think arlovski vs josh barrnett would be a better fight.

Answer 7

you think Silvias kickingdumby is a bada$$???   "the pitbull"aint ben good for years,,,Fedor will whoop him quiker than he whooped the guy that got popular whoopin the guy he's fighting now....hehehe

Answer 8

i dont like fedor because im ignorant and havent really checked him out, but he's probably going to walk through arlovski.

Answer 9

It should be an interesting fight.  Arlovsky is a fantastic striker, and can deal some serious damage.  But the odds on favorite will clearly be Fedor.  

Fedor is better in all aspects of the game.  He is a better striker, and much better on the ground.  But Arlovsky's greatest strength is his striking, so I expect Fedor to take it to the ground quick.

As far as my thoughts on the selection of Arlovsky as an oppenent.  As a fan of MMA, I want to see the fight.  But it is also not a very marketable fight.  Neither of the fighters speak English very well.  From a marketing standpoint I think Josh Barnett would have been the better choice for the fledgling Affliction promotion.

Answer 10

First of all, there is no Affliction PPV scheduled for Sept 11th.  It;s going to be October 11th.  Some fan you are.

Secondly, everyone hyped Fedor/Sylvia as a fight to watch, and Sylvia proved that the UFC heavyweight division sucks, by getting stomped on.  

Arlovski and Sylvia are about on par with each other in terms of fighting ability, so I would expect more of the same.  Fedor stomping Arlovski in under 3 minutes.  More hype than actual substance.
