Physically, Arlovski can compete with Fedor; However, mentally he can't, yet. I think Arlovski needs one or two more big wins to get his confidence back to where it was after he koed Buentello. An Arlovski vs. Barnett fight would be very interesting.

Oh yeah. Well, he can't do any worse than Sylvia. Though I truly think Tim could have done much better....shit. However, I still think Couture is the man to beat Fedor. I want to see that fight on the next card, and on the same card, Arlovski vs. Barnett. I am a huge fan of both Arlovski and Barnett, so, I don't even care who wins, I just want to see them go at it, and the winner gets Fedor. The thing that is interesting about Couture vs. Fedor, is that Fedor will still be number one after the fight, regardless of the outcome. It is like in the newest Rocky movie, because Randy will retire. I just hope he retires after ending Fedor's reign of terror.

Any news on Aleks? Would think Arlovski vs. Aleks E. would be a great match if Barnett fights Fedor next. Any confirmation on the blood work for Aleks showing he was Hep B positive?

arlovski's issue is his freaking chin, i don't know if he can fix that though. I still think he has a better shot than barnett at beating fedor. I think barnett is like a nog lite with less technical boxing and a little more power, but same level grappling. but like nog, sylvia, barnett has one detriment, he is not as fast or athletic as fedor. Fedor would swarm him standing and on the ground. I think arlovski is comparable to fedor's athleticism and he can end a fight with one punch but with his chin i think fedor would break him.

Fedor lived up to the hype for sure. After watching Nog and Silvia I had a few doubts but Fedor beat him fast. What about Couture cuz he was in the ring with him. I think that fight is next, let Barnett and Arlovski fight to see who's next.

Wow...so potential next Affliction:
Fedor - Couture
AA - CC/Barnett
Lil Nog - Overeem/Arona/Randleman

There are still many big name fighters outside out there. Plus under the WAMMA banner, promotional organizations are less of an issue (unless owned by zuffa).

that was brutal fight poor ben! But AA made some weird mistakes last night that make me doubt his mental fitness. I just don't get it why does he do shit like that?
