Re: Fedor vs. Arlovski

I watched too last night and continue to be impressed at how great of a fighter Fedor is. Arlovoski got too comfortable and cute with that flying knee and Fedor just nailed him and made him look stupid.

Fedor is definitely the # 1 heavyweight, but there are some other guys that are good too. Brock is getting better and is just so big and powerful. Frank Mir also looks better than ever. And Fedor's next fight against Josh Barnett should be good as well.

If Arlovski was still in the UFC he would be #1. Lesner is good don'[t get me wrong but Fedor is a master at figuring out how to beat you.

Standing up he is lethal.
On the ground your dead KO'd or Sub.

Lesner is not very good on his feet
He is only ok on the ground as well. Obviously his size is a huge factor but Fedor just has way to many weapons.

Lesnar lost his first fight to Mir because he got caught in a submission which is what he would need to watch out for if he fought Fedor. However, he has gotten better and if he beats Mir this time coming up then he may be the biggest threat to Fedor. I think he has and will continue to get better on the ground. Don't forget he was an All-American wrestler.

I wish Dana White would put up the money for Fedor to fight the winner of Brock and Mir. That would be the biggest MMA fight ever.

Re: Fedor vs. Arlovski

Lesnar rocked Frank Muir with a flurry of punches And imo, Lesnar would've pounded Muir out if it wasn't for the ref stoppage, which resulted in Lesnar being penalised for punching Muir in the back of his head. Which I believe was wrong decision by the ref.

I also witnessed a heavyweight veteran in Herring, doing a backflip on the ground right after copping a big punch in the face by Lesnar.

Lesnar also dropped Randy like a sack with a big right.

Brock's stand up isn't perfect and does look a little awkward, but it has been very affective and has hit the mark in all of his UFC fights. Make no mistake about it, the guy can throw a punch as good as any other and has the results to prove it.

Lesnar is for real and will only get better and better as each fight comes along.

All good points, but can Lesnar beat Mir or Fedor? I think he's the favorite against Mir, but I don't think he's seasoned enough to beat Fedor yet.

Actually, I think Lesnar can beat anyone atm. What he did to Hearing and Randy was really quite impressive. Both are seasoned veterans and yet Lesnar managed to walk straight through them, almost without a scratch and plenty in the tank. He was a little unlucky with his loss to Mir and believe he learnt alot from that.

His size, speed and power along with his amazing wrestling abilities are going to be a huge problem for his opponents. His chin hasn't really been tested yet so who knows, maybe this is his real weak point.
