Did you see the fight last night? I gotta disagree. Andrei looked fantastic, went for the sub, and let his hands go. He did not look tenative at all, hell, he even gave up dominant position looking for a sub.

AA got a good win versus a possibly top ten heavyweight in Rothwell, but Fedor destroyed a former UFC champion, what makes anyone think that AA could beat Fedor ?

What was with the comentary during the AA/Rothwell fight last night? Even as AA was crushing Roth, these guys were all over Roth's nuts. When he finally did go down, there was little mention of what a great performance AA gave and more on how tough Roth is. And all that came after they labeled Roth the favorite in the fight. WTF?

Sure...when he's dominating but will he revert back and pull a Belfort when the fight isn't going his way?

Affliction is trying to compete with the UFC

Arlovski is MUCH more markatable then Barnett, Hence why Arlovski will get the shot first!

That was the best I have ever seen AA. He looked hungry and aggressive and for the 1st time, I actually enjoyed watching him fight.

Having said that, AA, Cotoure and anyone else would get destroyed by Fedor.

To the lay fan, I think he is.

The majority of mma fans are uneducated in regards to fighting and I think a lot of those folks think that physical appearance = fighting ability. Not to mention that most of those fans are the people who think that Kimbo is the shit and Pride is a sense of feeling dignified.

Arlovski was one of UFC biggest Heavyweight names, he is much more markatable in the US then Josh Barnett.
