I haven’t seen the fight in forever so maybe we both need to rewatch it but I remember it looking way worse the first time I watched it but later realize he rolled with everything and wasn’t getting pieced up like I originally thought
Arlovski literally landed 3 or 4 strikes, Fedor was in control the entire time.
Same in hindsight I wish Fedor had just retired after the acquisition of Pride.
Is this one of those old thread reprisals?
Jeez you’re not wrong. Just rewatched and literally have no idea why I thought it was a one sided affair until the flash ko.
Arlovski Kos him mid air to return the favor
The way Arlovski fights now Fedor would have to push the pace. If not, it looks like the Andrei/Sylvia third fight in the UFC.
NO
Fedor Emelianenko was reportedly in talks for Mike Tyson fight
At the start of this year, there were reports circulating that Fedor Emelianenko would be making a move to boxing to face the iconic Mike Tyson in Saudi Arabia. However, that was quickly shut down by reps who told The Sun that the fight was never likely to happen.

I can see why this is necessary, that first one was pretty close…
Not at all.
Fedor was baiting him.
He was always going to win that fight.
Correct.
Just stay retired Fedor.
Arlovski is a better technical boxer and has been working on it for longer.
Not saying Fedor couldn’t win, but the rules and gloves don’t really favor his style.

I’m an Arlovski fan, so needless to say I’ve seen all the highs and lows.
But that Fedor fight killed me man. Genuinely though Andre was gonna win that, and even as the fight started I thought fuck yeah, Arlovski looking a cut above Fedor here.
And the next minute Arlovski is face down.I know Fedor is an all timer and probably the GOAT HW, but I truly believe Fedor pulled that one out of his ass. He was looking genuinely bamboozled by Arlovski’s striking, then the pitbull goes and makes it easy for him, got carried away, went for a flying fucking knee and ate a power shot mid-air.
Good thing all that matters in the end is whose hand is raised! Arlovski could of looked the best he ever has but in the end he was sent to another realm!
Why?

Only if they can be juiced to the gills.
And BKFC
I’d like to see Fedor box Randy if he’s doing it at all and I think Randy is 75 so that’s not happening.
Crazy as it is I think Randy out points him even old and aslong as he avoids any direct shots.
Fedor vs Randy boxing 10-15 years ago would have been a fun fight to watch.
I wouldn’t have minded seeing some kind of HW MMA fighter’s Toughman tournament at some point.
Basically boxing with shorter rounds.
