Videos: Affliction "Day of Reckoning"
Be honest, when Fedor's legs went briefly wobbly at around the 0:17 mark, you thought to yourself, 'Oh shit, Arlovski might actually do it.' Then Arlovski jumped into one of those "overhand murderballs" that Goldstein warned against, and you remembered, 'Oh yeah, it's Fedor in there.'

Suck on that Freddie Roach. Boxing is bullshit in a real fight Dumb-Ass. Is it clear to you now? -- MMA RULES! --
The Eye Says:
The pitbull looked pretty good coming out, and it was taking Fedor a little longer to figure him out, i had hoped that Fedor would have actually been layin a beating on Arlovski and then finished him off this way there would be no nay-sayers claiming a lucky punch, but as often happens in mma a lucky punch ( or well placed ) did the trick. I like Arlovski and there is no shame in his loss he just got tagged.
Nice to see Vitor back to his old self,but damn did the Law ever get rocked.
Rematch Please!! Says:
Arlovski was kicking his ass.....But then again he's fighting the BADDEST MAN ON THE PLANET. Would like to see a rematch cause Arlovski looked really good.
UFC fan Says:
Hey Fedor, swallow your russian stupidity, fire your dumbass management , and come to UFC where they know how to knock your ass out.....or stay with nothing shows fighting nobody for chump change while they retire off your goofy ass...wake up Fedor life is calling and your value is dropping. If not for a lucky punch on a stupid fighter, you woulda been walked around by him all night being kicked, and stick and moved to a lose by points. ANYONE with half a brain could beat you Fedor....come take a real lose come join the best, and bring your crazy fanatic fans with you, they NEED a reality check.
mma-pro Says:
damn arlovski has a glass jaw. at least his face broke his fall a little.
Dirty Ape Says:
Leonidas....NOOOO!
Me Says:
Roach should not be ashamed. I do not like his attitude, but you can't say that AA wasn't winning that fight. Roach is probably mad as hell that he threw that flying knee. He will not go away any time soon. I wouldn't want him to either. Why should there be shame in finding the best trainers in the world? Should everyone quit going to any Gracie academies that do not include MMA curriculum?

wtf..that ko was shit...did arlovski agree to take a fall

UFC fan: reality check?
Read what you write and then talk about reality check you hillbilly asswipe. Your daddy skullfucked you a little too hard it seems.
Anonymous Says:
Everyone knows that Arlovski's weaknesses are the mental aspect of the game and his chin. Remember the last fight with Sylvia where he ran around the ring timidly. He will need a few more Roy Nelson fights and a lot of encouragement to step back into the ring with a top HW. He seems like one of the nice fighters out there.
walrus Says:
Wow, bring in the body bag.
Goat Says:
I don't know why people keep saying Fedor was getting worked by AA. Hell, Fujita had him in more trouble. I think I counted AA hitting/grazing Fedor 5 times (?).
Fedor = #1 P4P
lilchetbro Says:
Everything else UFC fan said notwithstanding, Fedor gets paid a lot more to fight in Affliction than he would in the UFC
Josh Aint Thug Says:
MY QUEEN!
MY LOVE!
MY FACE!
Of course Fedor was the same weight as when he fought Tim Sylvia. When have you ever seen a Terminator eat?
Anonymous Says:
yeah whats with all this arlovski winning bullshit, with those little girly punches yeah he landed a couple but didn't hurt fedor who was throwing some heat it was only a matter of time before aa hit the mat.
Sodak Says:
what happened in the hieron fight? ko rd 2 by any chance?
chuy cuevas Says:
fedor was getting his bitch ass picked apart but arlovski is a fucking idiot going in like that im done with arlovski!!
Goose Says:
Lucky punch! AA was kicking Fedor's out of shape ass, we all saw it. Damn that right hand. Who throws a flying knee to fedor anyway? Oh well, at least AA made enough money to retire.
Anonymous Says:
ufc fan you little retarded son of a bi*** ... he just killed 2 of the best from the UFC , so that makes no sense ...
Goose Says:
It's great to see big John back. Hopefully he'll focus on the fighters and not his retarded view for the future of MMA.
Warcraft Says:
Can we stop with this glass jaw crap.
His chin seems decent I don't know any fighter who could run straight into a big power shot from Fedor and not be KOed by it.
This knockout was alot similar to his 1st loss to Sylvia. He ran into the punch adding more force then what is usual there. A uppercut from Sylvia or a massive right from Fedor if you are coming at the guy the impact it alot worse then if you were just trading at normal range.
Fedors KO was even worse. AA got even more speed then the Sylvia fight where he kept trying to finish Sylvia with his big right hand before eating the brutal uppercut and being dropped.
AA will be back I hope. A rematch would be nice after Fedor spanks Bernett in the first min of that fight.
Brown Badger Says:
@ UFC fan
You're a fucking tardboi. You make LESS money going to the UFC being stuck in a life long contract that pays shit and basically makes you unable to do anything else. The way fedor's dealing with things is how you make money.
UFC Hater! Says:
Hey! SUCK MY COCK!!! UFC too! I think that Affliction much better than UFC. I better that Affliction continuing to grows as business. Look what happened Tim Sys Fedor doesn't interested in UFC offered. I believe Fedor can beat Brock Lenser and Frank Mir too. Hey! What happened to veteran UFC fighterS, Tim Sylvia and Andrei Arlovski. They are the best heavyweight in the world? Fedor proved that He owns their UFC veteran asses now! I believe he can beat Brock Lensor and Frank Mir. He doesn't afraid of any UFC heavyweight fighters. UFC should out of business someday. I would love to see Fedor knock your teeth out! Motherfucker!!!!!!
Anonymous Says:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....REALLY?... A.A. WENT FOR AN ILL TIMED FLYING KNEE. THAT LED TO HIS DOWNFALL...HIS BOXING WAS WINNING HIM THE FIGHT. NOW I LOVE MMA BUT LETS CALL THIS WHAT IT IS ....ARLOVSKI F***ING BLEW IT. HE HAD SPEED AND REACH...PROBABLY COULD HAVE PICKED ON FEDOR THE WHOLE ROUND. THE ONLY THING THAT KEPT HIM IN THE FIGHT WAS THE NEW BOXING SKILLS.
Knowitall Says:
Yeh I dont get it, Tim Sylvia and And AA, were the two most dominent UFC heavyweights, the UFC has ever had. Even Dana White says he regrets letting Andrei go. Dont tell me he still wouldnt dominate in the ufc. The guys a beast, and was holding up with Fedor very well. UFC fan, your exactly what your name says. Which also means your ignorant, and also means you should stay away from Affliction fights, and comment sections about Affliction fights. Keep watching Cheick Kongo, and all those other bums even Tim Sylvia would destroy. I really like the ufc, especially the 205 and 170 divisions, but no one can argue that Affliction had a really great fight card yesterday. If they can keep doing it I wont argue, I mean this week affliction, next week UFC? fuccckin rights.
Derekrva Says:
Andrei held is own, then made a crucial mistake. All Fedor needed was one slip up and he pounced on it. I'm far from done with AA, his hands looked nutso during the fight. He just got over confident, went for a big shot and ended up munching canvas. Number one he aint, but he would give any HW in any promotion a hard time.
Anonymous Says:
If Fedor was in a video game, his awareness would be 99. He is the toughest fighter mentally in the world. When you master yourself to that degree, you will always be near impossible to defeat. Anderson Silva has the same quality when he's focused. This is why those guys are always in the best p4p fighter discussions. You can say Arlovski looked better and just got caught with a lucky shot, and that is true in some ways, but there is still a REASON that happened, and it's just as important an element in the fighting game as anything else: mental toughness.
brandon Says:
Dude don't diss Roach. If Andrei would have stuck to his boxing like Roach had trained him to do he probably would have won the fight.
Knowitall Says:
Fedor never looked to be in trouble in that fight, I dont really see what some people are talking about. Im not a Fedor Nuthugger (Anderson Silva in my opinion is the best pound for pound), but he is amazing. Top 3 best fighters in the world I would say for sure. And in that fight he just seemed to be waiting and timing himself. AA was owning him? if you count 2 or 3 landed punches, and 2 kicks owning then yes. But yah, if Fedor didnt hit him with that he wouldve gotten something else. Just the way it goes, Fedor is the shit.
Billy Bad Ass Says:
Someone please find the Jay Heiron fight. It apparently was on after the Main Event? WTF?! Affliction needs to get their programming together, kill Tito and that Raspy Ass voice guy, and not have an undercard match after the fucking main event. It would have been so much fucking better to watch that over the Buentello vs Baby Fedor match.
Or us watching Lindland tell everyone he's fine for 20 minutes. Production value was shit.
Knowitall Says:
brandon, he wouldnt of won the fight. Little jabs and such arent going to kill Fedor, and in a 5 round fight, fedor wouldve eventually grabbed his leg, or went for the takedown. Once on the ground, that wouldve been it. This was the first 3 minutes of the first round, of a 5 round fight, and arlovski is in a fight with fedor. You dont think hes gonna be pumped up and going very hard? thats what happened. He wasnt even timing himself well for a 5 round fight. If he wouldve kept going like he was, he wouldve been gassed by the 2nd round. Then there wouldve been an even nastier knockout, or I would say submission.
Me Says:
Don't get me wrong, I think that no matter how well AA would have kept doing throughout that fight had he not thrown the knee, Fedor would have pulled it out some how. Fedor has gotten hurt a few times, been in trouble quite often, but his ability to pull shit out of his ass and win the fight is what makes him the best in the world.
But make no mistake, AA was holding him off rather effectively and was getting in a lot of good shots. You could tell Fedor was a little frustrated, but that's ok. He's one of the few who fight better when he is mad.
Keep in mind, Fedor is not invincible, and if he continues to fight it is only a matter of time before someone gets his number. That will not mean that they are better than him. Refer to Spankie: "You can dress up mother nature, but you can't fool father time!"
Audie Murphy 3/7 Says:
Who in the UFC @ heavyweight DOES matter? REALLY!! Randy is too old, and Brock is the type of freakshow that Fedor dominates. As far as money and competition the UFC has nothing to offer Fedor. AA was doing better than I thought, and Fedor has never looked polished striking, but it was only a matter of time before the fight went to the ground and Fedor punishes him with his "murderballs" or sculpts him into a Croatian balloon animal. Maybe AA should have airbrushed his abs to go along with the rats nest on his chin?
Anonymous Says:
fedor plain and simple is the best mma hw fighter in the world!
roach must feel stupid now and i love it.
what about all the "fedors boxing is sloppy" and "aa will knock fedor out" bs now?
we are talking mma. not a boxing match.
fedors boxing is sloppy for a boxing match, but it is just pefect for mma.
soorma Says:
ha ha! UFC HATER can't speak english good! thats funny stuff guys!
Lil Nog with the revenge! Love it.
Jeremy Says:
wow, who knew that steve-o's dad got outta jail and landed a job at affliction.
I think that AA had a good chance as long as he kept Fedor at a distance but he got cocky and went for the glory rather than the Win. Fedor is good but I think if AA stuck to the plan and didnt go apeshit he may have won a decision or maybe even KO him. Fedor would own most current UFC with one exception: Couture. Timmy is a washed-up has been. AA is still in good shape just not as good as Fedor.
msinon Says:
Lotta chirping on this one. When your the best (Fedor) little people want you to go down. Andrei looked impressive, but didn't make it out of the first round. Have to be impressive a little longer than that. His chin is definitely suspect. Anyway, decent promotion by Affliction. We need more!
Sacto J Says:
Fedor vs. AA wasn't that close. I, too, thought AA was winning. However, after watching the replay a few times, Fedor really wasn't in any danger. If anything, I think Fedor played possum a bit and AA took the bait. Watch as Fedor comes off the ropes. Is he stunned at all? Or does he just know that AAs come forward to meet his fist? I say the later. AA did OK, but never really got close to Fedor.
Mack Says:
I don't think it is fair to say that his legs got wobbly as if he was on the verge of being taken out. The fight was a lot closer than you are making it out to be. Arlovski, who I like and though would win, was winning the round certainly but there were still four left. It was way to early in the fight to assume he would have won.
If on the other hand he would have launched into that poorly thought out flying kick at the exact time of the last round it would be fair to say he could have won.
Affliction is going under!!! Says:
Fedor got worked till he threw a hail mary that landed. Affiction will close up shop because they are over paying their fighters. All UFC washouts I might add. The UFC is 100 times better than Affiction. The only thing Affiction has is T- shirts. They can't hold a candle to the UFC.
Goog Says:
The random shit that gets talked about between events is better than the RETARDED arguments that happen over "who's the best" right before or right after a fight. This is a sport where men train for years, hours per day, weeks on end for a fight.
I've yet to see one fighter in any organization that wasn't capable of winning. AA could have landed a widowmaker at 10 seconds in and knocked Fedor cold. He didn't. James Irvin is a big puncher and he could have killed Anderson Silva had he slipped one in. Need I mention again Matt Serra's TKO over GSP? Again, it's a sport where everyone who steps in there is a trained profession with skills and the sole intention of winning. ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN. Buster Douglas beat Mike Tyson in his prime. WTF?
Fedor knows his shit. So does Arlovski, Sylvia, Lesnar is learning... like it or not, etc. I wouldn't be surprised to jump online and see any upset on any card. Fedor being signed to a fight is not a foregone conclusion that he'll automatically win. One of these times, he's going to get caught like Arlovski and the world of Fedor's sack-garglers will write that it was lucky and Fedor is still the best. Eh... maybe, maybe not. Fedor catching AA with the shot doesn't prove shit other than AA got caught with a shot. And if the opposite had happened, it doesn't mean that AA is now the best in the world. It means he snuck in a well-timed punch.
So for fuck's sake, would all the retards arguing over who's the best please remember that this isn't chess? It's two professionally trained fighters throwing wild shots combined with their intentional ones and anything can happen on any night. Applying the thought process you see here to Tiger Woods - the actual factual and contractual proven best in the world - he'd never lose. Funny how a bunch of rookies and one timers have beaten the top 10-15 golfers in the world to become the Masters Champion. Anything can happen. And that's with a fucking putter. Add in the possibility of getting kicked in the head and I think the ball can roll either way. But seriously... arguments like "AA's GONNA GET KILLED". Fuck off. No, he's not. He easily could have won. That knee could have gotten there one second before the punch and you have a whole new set of retarded comments here today.
mma-pro Says:
OVEREEM WOULD MURDER FEDOR
Knowitall Says:
Yah mma-pro, but imagine Fedor on Steroids. lol. Jesus christ that would be a scary lookin dude. Actually scratch that, imagine Fedor on a diet that isnt simply red meat and potatoes, and at a training camp thats much more well-known. Fedor is the everyman fighter,and he's proven again and again that washboard abs, and size, dont mean shit.
texas1 Says:
ufc is gay and so are you
MMA Wannabe Says:
To all those that are crying "Lucky PUNCH!!!!"
Fedor did precisely what he wanted to do with that punch, how is that luck?
Fedor aimed for his head, pushed off of his back foot and plowed his fist into Arlovski. Arlovski made a mistake, Fedor capitalized. Where is the luck in that?
MMA Wannabe Says:
Oh, and yes, Arlovski's boxing was slick as hell; he looked very potent.
Word Says:
Arlovski wasn't tryin a flying knee, he simply asked fedor "How taste my peepee?"
Anonymous Says:
how was arlovski kicking his ass? where u watching the same fight? was fedor ever hurt? was anyone ever hurt till arlovski got KO?
player from the south Says:
who cares if a a was out boxing fedor , who cares if fedor knocked him out with a lucky hay maker . its any givin strike in this sport.
