I wasnt oy ve. But if i had to pick one of the two it would of had to be Barnette he is the more well rounded fighter where Fedor just will take Arlovski down and submit him or TKO him. almost a forgone conclusion. I have to disagree I think Arlovski is going to be a real tough fight for Fedor and I have to agree with Dux I think Arlovski will beat him. I think Arlovski will manage to keep the fight standing where he will have the advantage. |

Arlovski by KO. You heard it here first. Arlovski is dangerous, but I just don't see someone with a jaw as weak as Arlovski wanting to trade with a man that hits harder than him. Tim Sylvia stated it himself. "I've never been hit that hard before, I don't think he's human". Secondly, how will Arlovski keep it standing? Fedor will get in close and do a judo throw or a trip and get it to the ground and GnP or submit him. Either that or Fedor unloads a barrage that puts him to sleep. Everyone knows he has a glass jaw, Datsik knocked him out with one big punch, Tim Sylvia knocked him out with one baby punch, Fedor will knock him out if he hits him like he did Sylvia. I don't think Arlovski has fought someone of Fedors caliber, much like Tim Sylvia. Sylvia has never been KO'd, not even TKO'd. Only way Arlovski wins is if Fedor gets sloppy and he gets caught in the later rounds.... If Arlovski can make it that long. Arlovski has good boxing, just not as good as people make it out to be and if he goes pro with his boxing he's going to be in for a huge let down. I know Fedor doesn't have the most beautiful punches, all of them are haymakers and if they land Arlovski will be in for some shit. I've never seen anyone destroy Tim Sylvia the way Fedor did, not even Arlovski beat him that easily. Fedor also beat Tim Sylvia faster than anyone has ever beat him. That speaks leaps and bounds for Fedor, a man who everyone thought didn't deserve the hype he was receiving. Arlovski, I feel should be the one being questioned, he has been putting up lackluster performances and I guarantee Fedor would've destroyed Ben Rothwell and Fabricio Werdum quicker and in a more impressive fashion than Arlovski. I still don't think Arlovski deserves a title shot against Fedor just yet, if it was me. Arlovski vs. Barnett on Oct. 11 instead of Fedor vs. Arlovski/Barnett. Not that I don't think Fedor will beat either of these guys, I just feel they need to prove themselves against better competition than Ben "I beat up a fat kid" Rothwell and a washed-up Pedro Rizzo. |

Jimmy your gonna get your wish. Due to Fedor pulling out of the Oct. 11 show due to an injured hand it will be Arlovski vs. Barnette for the title shot.
