Sorry.

Yeah right that's why nobody has ever KO'ed Josh since Pedro Rizzo a few years ago right .

Not only can Barnett trade punches with AA and keeping him at distance but he would absolutely murderer him on the ground after a giant takedown and destroy him forever

Barnett is vastly superior to Arlovski and would eat him up alive

If someone as average as Nelson was able to drop him on the ground and ridiculized him like tonight , Barnett would take a nice vacation paycheck with this fight

roy had nothing for him man get over it. that kimura attempt on bottom was nothing and there was no damge on the ground thats why it was stood up

Nelson doesnt have a bad sub game. He had good position and was working. That standup was dumb. EliteXC favors strikers.

how was that a bad stoppage? arlovski had just followed a 3 punch combo with a right hand from hell sending nelson off the cage and face first to the canvas

but i agree, that standup was reatarded. i thought the round was over or something. doubt it would have mattered in the long run since nelson won the round anyway and i dont think arlovski would have been subbed, but it still kinda sucks

And who has subbed Arlovski on the ground? Nobody.

Nelson only got Arlovski down because AA went for the takedown and got reversed, he wouldn't try that with Barnett, he would brawl and sprawl all day long, AA's takedown defence is one of the best in the HW division and his striking is on another level to Barnetts.

AA via KO whenever these two meet, i'll sig/av bet anyone on that

the standup in round 1 was quick but not that bad, there was no action, and the ref waited until the kimura broke and then stood it up.

In regular speed, the stoppage was fine, he dropped flat on his face.

I thought it was a good stoppage, his hands weren't even close to covering up.

I do agree that the first round stand up from side control was poor, but he wasn't doing anything either,

[sodapopinski]

The standup in round one was complete horse shit. I guess the crowd was growing restless after seeing the two women in a bearhug battle. However, as much as I wanted Nelson to KTFO Arlovski, there is no controversy in that stoppage. Roy just got beat down by the better striker. Like Ben, he went too aggressively after a counterpuncher and it didn't work.

[black snake]

He was on queer street after he got knocked down re-watch the fight fools.
