Arlovski 360, Ep. 1 – Watch more free videos
From the moment this video declares Fedor-Arlovski to be the most anticipated heavyweight bout in MMA history, for the "undisputed" heavyweight title, you know what you’re getting into. Still, the look of the video is impressive for a DIY internet effort. It rips off all the cool things about the HBO 24/7 series, though since they spend the entire time pumping up Arlovski it reaches none of the emotional depth.
Oh well. It’s still the best promotional tool we’ve seen yet for this fight that’s just over a month away. If Affliction’s not embarrassed by that, they should be.
After the jump, Frank Mir gets deep, plus a little something extra that you may hate me for, but it’s for your own good.
A Zen-like Mir tells us (at the 4:07 mark) that "fights truly are won in your soul."
And…
To help you get ready for the Cro Cop-Hong Man Choi bout on New Year’s Eve, take a look back at the worst kickboxing match ever: Hong Man Choi vs. Bob Sapp. Sapp has the cardio of a goldfish and Choi has the coordination of an infant, and together they make something magically bad. I’m sorry (no I’m not).

That Sapp v. Choi bout is more embarrassing than my GPA.
Sat, 12/20/08 - 10:08
In that Frank Mir REALLY sounds like he shoulda been in Sin City. Maybe it's just me...
Sat, 12/20/08 - 10:08
Frank is fucking wise. I want to go shooting with him.
Sat, 12/20/08 - 10:09
That kickboxing match just set mankind's development back 75 years. The only way it could have been salvaged was if the referee flipped off both guys and gave them each a stone cold stunner.
Sat, 12/20/08 - 10:13
Though its definately NOT the most anticipated HW fight in MMA history, considering how weak the HW division is in the UFC, this is a pretty big fight! While I don't believe Arlov has anything for Fedor, who da phuck does?? Arlov has run through all of his opponets in the UFC with the exception of Tim Silvia (though he has beaten Tim also) When it comes down to it, Andrei would be a top three heavyweight in the UFC right now.
Sat, 12/20/08 - 10:14
Haha, oh wow. It's like watching two humongous retarded schoolchildren fight.
Sat, 12/20/08 - 10:23
UFC 92 is going to be HUGE. Great fights. Excited to see the Griffin fight. Heart vs. Talent.
Sat, 12/20/08 - 10:24
Im calling it now-----Bob Sapp Vs. Kimbo Slice It will be the most watched and least skilled PPV in history and the winner gets to be ring girl for the next Fedor match
Sat, 12/20/08 - 10:28
Hong= '7"2 340lbs Sapp= 6'4" 380lbs Not bad movment, coordination and stamina for a couple of SUPER super heavyweight GIANTS! If you expect anything else, than your from oompa loompa peepee dreamy land!
Sat, 12/20/08 - 10:52
Since when are speed and quickness intangibles?
Sat, 12/20/08 - 10:56
Charge a dollar to bring the kids by and get a picture sitting on him, but enough with the Hong fights. It looks like he hasn't had ten minutes of training in his life. When people talk about what's bad for the sport... that's it. That guy should be on the undercard somewhere just for the drawing power of "let's take the kids to see a giant." Horrible. I'm 6'1" 290lbs and haven't done cardio in 2 years. I'd fight that guy this afternoon to at least a decision.
Sat, 12/20/08 - 10:58
LOL ok frank- the reason why you didn't look happy on the sylvia win was because the audience was booing you for what they thought was a premature stoppage. And WTF Big Nog would have won if he could have fought Fedor for all eternity? I'm sorry, but had that gone much longer someone would have needed to scrape what remained of his face from the floor or escort him from the ring due to mental retardation.
Sat, 12/20/08 - 11:01
Sapp fighting Choi is the K-1 equivalent of crossing the streams.
Sat, 12/20/08 - 11:19
mir is fucking insane.
Sat, 12/20/08 - 11:20
"G" Funk your retarded, name one organization who has a better HW division than the UFC, no one, Assfliction has fedor, Josh B and AA and thats it. UFC has Lesnar, Mir, Nog, Carwin(future star), Valasques(future star) just to name a few. and assfliction is going to die anyway. then the good fighters from the fallen organization will most likely sigh with UFC unless if Fedor chooses to avoid good competition again, like he has been doing for the last four years.
Sat, 12/20/08 - 11:27
Is it a bad thing that Frank Mir gassed out during this interview?
Sat, 12/20/08 - 11:32
"The fights in your soul..." You hear that Potato nation, your soul. Mir's insanity has won me over.
Sat, 12/20/08 - 11:57
The Skill level displayed in that Hong Man Choi win was awesome. The only fight I've seen that compares is the midget bout in the dog cage from a few weeks ago.
Sat, 12/20/08 - 12:28
i dont want to go shooting with him i wanna gamble with him
Sat, 12/20/08 - 12:40
Quote from Turd Sandwich, "UFC has Lesnar, Mir, Nog, Carwin(future star), Valasques(future star) just to name a few" Lesnar(2-1) Lossed to Mir, couldnt finish Heath Herring and got a lucky shot against a 46 year old over the hill Couture who by the way was 45 lbs lighter(prob 65 the night of the fight) and he was having some difficulty with. Mir: Do I have to really get in to this?? Nog: Great fighter, nothing but props! (his kryptonite is Fedor though) Future Stars?? Oh yeah, the UFC HW Division is stacked alright! I'm sorry but when your the "supreme king of MMA" and been around longer than anyone(by a long shot) UFC HW Division is crap! You named 3 top guys in Affliction that would be placed on the top of UFC. Those turd sandwiches are eating your brain cells, retard!!! Frank Mir...seriously!
Sat, 12/20/08 - 12:56
I like the impromptu time-out taken in the 3rd round. Why? Just to give both fighters a chance to catch their breath. 3 3 minute rounds seems just way too much.
Sat, 12/20/08 - 01:15
the arlovski video was pretty good. props to whoever made it. The sapp/choi fight is just...priceless lol
Sat, 12/20/08 - 01:18
hong man choi fights so akwardly...
Sat, 12/20/08 - 01:23
bob had some pretty good leg kicks at the beginning
Sat, 12/20/08 - 01:32
Lol @ the 8:25 mark when Sapp tries to knee Choi's head, which, even though he's hunched over, is still above Sapp's head. Have these guys ever even seen a real fight? You'd think more could be learned playing Mortal Kombat! And am I the only one whothinks Frank Mir is just a c u nt hair below Phil Baroni in the douchebaggery department?
Sat, 12/20/08 - 01:39
Holy Shit! The ref for the Choi- Sapp match is tall as fuck! Seriously, is that the biggest ref on EARTH!?!?!?!
Sat, 12/20/08 - 01:42
@ Jake No, you aren't the only one who thinks Mir is a douchebag. I hope Nog knocks his ass out.
Sat, 12/20/08 - 02:40
fedor prays on people man he's a fuckin chicken hawk.they were getting it off the russians and selling it to thier own people they didn't believe in shit.thiers alot of hard talk round here and not alot of follow through.silvia is a wannabe thin toned fat son of a bitch and only won the 2nd fight cos arlov thought he had it in the bag plus silvia did 2nd months then rolled over on some kids so i told him not to feed me his shit or i would beat him like a dog thats humping yr leg.beat him so bad his nickname would be maimediac when he is retired and broke i will sit their every night waiting and praying for him to steel my fathers pick up truck so i can stamp his head into the curb in my underpants while dribbling on his naf hair.steven levens his lucky he killed his self cos he woulda spent the rest of his days eating out of date dog shit and licking bus windows then sell the cunt to some creepy gooc he she very rare specie with mancy teeth and bad intensions.they should let asilva practice leg kicks on his carcus it would be like a fucking pinyata exploded.
Sat, 12/20/08 - 03:39
what the fuck are you talking about. lol, interesting read?
Sat, 12/20/08 - 03:55
lol ghostbusters
Sat, 12/20/08 - 04:12
"G" fag, Barnett and Andre would get ripped apart by nog and mir now you idiot and fedor hasn't fought anyone good in four years. how can you say he is the best right now.
Sat, 12/20/08 - 04:29
But not more embarrassing than your jokes.
Sat, 12/20/08 - 04:31
That comment was the residue of the idiocy of calling Arlovski vs. Fedor "most anticipated," the prodigious mediocrity of the Sapp vs. Choi, and Frank Mir's perplexing "chaos theory." In fact, if he'd pass me some of his doobie, I'm pretty sure the Frank Mir video would serve as an explanation for what was going on in the Sapp/Choi fight. Is it me, or does Frank Mir really, really seem prepared to die?
Sat, 12/20/08 - 04:33
Eh, I was referring to the comment made by mr./ms. my father gave me that truck u fucking wrestler.
Sat, 12/20/08 - 05:01
HAHA LMFAO you think Mir can beat Andrei and Barnett!!! If I'm not mistaken, Tim Silvia's last fight in the UFC was for the HW Championship to which he PHUCKED Big Nog up for three rounds until he got caught in a submission. Fedor dismantled and DEMOLISHED him in 36 sec. No one has ever done that to Tim Tim in all his years in the UFC as the most dominating HW champ they ever had. Noguera lost to him three times... Who in the UFC can beat him shitwhich? Frank Mir!?!?!? Get off the UFC's dick biatch! too much jabber jawing Dana's shit!
Sat, 12/20/08 - 06:11
Ok so im on UFC's dick, well at least there still going to be here a year from now, and affliction won't be, and if your bitching about UFC's heavyweight division fedor will sign with them when assfliction fails anyway, and if he doesn't then it just proves he is avoiding good competition thats all im saying
Sat, 12/20/08 - 06:44
Affliction might not exist in a year, but you'll still be the idiot who said Frank Mir would rip apart Josh Barnett and Andrei Arlovski.
Sat, 12/20/08 - 08:13
Oy Vey Iz Mir... such a philosopher!
Sat, 12/20/08 - 08:25
True ... they both move relatively well for their size ... i mean most people with giganticism like Hong are literally crippled by their size and most people that weigh as much as Sapp won't last 30 seconds and have no chance of throwing kicks like he does .... If you saw someone like that in a bar you'd think man he'd kill anyone in here and then you see them throwing these feminine punches ... So regardless, it is still pretty hilarious to see them fighting each other.
Sat, 12/20/08 - 08:28
I just can't bring myself to love Fedor for "OMG THE MOST AMAZING DISMANTLING OF A TOP HEAVYWEIGHT EVER!!!!!!!!! He landed a couple quick shots that weren't expected and it went downhill for Tim "the Maniac" Labia. How about the shot that GSP took from MATT SERRA to lose the belt!?!? Or Rashad Evans blasting Chuck L? Mike Brown on Faber? Kimbo and Seth Petyousilly? None of those guys were supposed to lose. Anyone can get caught - 10 seconds in to the first or 4:50 of the fifth. They're all pro's and none of them flat out suck or you wouldn't be seeing the matchup in the first place. But once in a while, you get a few seconds for the highlight reel. I can't wait can't wait can't wait ...till someone catches Fedor and pounds him to a referee stoppage. He'll stand up and probably be perfectly fine. However... one half of the Cage Potato universe will be upside down questioning his heart, his focus, his training, his involvement in Sambo, inventing injuries, making excuses, and questioning whether he's as good as he used to be. And then they'll completely overhype the guy who does it to him. The other half of more dedicated Fedor nut suckers will call it lucky, say it could never happen again, it was a fluke, and early stoppage, a hit to the back of the head, etc. But mark my words - watch what happens when he loses his next fight. And that could be to the guy who's less talented, but 1/4 of a second faster with a punch. I'm predicting that, all of a sudden, they railroad him like they did Couture for losing and the question about the best HW in the world will instantly include... anyone.
Sat, 12/20/08 - 09:31
Frank Mir and Joe Rogan should smoke up together
Sat, 12/20/08 - 10:18

Nobody hypes fedor. He's just that insanely good. You obviously don't know much about MMA. Tim Sylvia did an interview after the fight saying he had never been hit that hard in his life. And jesus all the upsets you're naming have reason behind them- serra vs. gsp- gsp was having personal problems and wasn't in the right mindset. rashad vs. lidell- well i don't know about you but chuck really isn't all that good. Counter punching and not protecting yourself wasn't going to last much longer. And Kimbo..... How is that an upset???? He was a completely overly hyped fighter who had no skill set thrown into the spotlight by the slimiest mma organization. Just stop talking please.
Sun, 12/21/08 - 01:34
After seeing the Sapp/Choi fight, I think CroCop might actually have a chance to pull out a close decision v. Hong Man.
Sun, 12/21/08 - 04:04
i have to admit i have a strange fascination with freak show fights like sapp v choi...i just wish mothra could have gotten more of a push
Sun, 12/21/08 - 07:33
I think Frank Mir should definitely retire as soon as possible and start commentating full time.. there are tons of fighters that cant bring two words together.. how come this guy can speak that "eloquently"..
Sun, 12/21/08 - 08:07
Shitface, I'm not "bitching" bout the UFC HW Division, I just said it was weak which anyone who truly knows bout MMA would see that is the lackluster division in the UFC. I'm a UFC fan. Goog, when are you and dumbasses like you going to get the picture? Fedor's demolishing of Silvia was no fluke, look at the guy's record. All you peeps think so highly of Nog(I do too) but not Fedor?? He beat Minotauro three times!!!!! When Nog kills Mir and gets hammered by Lesnar until he pulls a sub and becomes the "Undisputed HW Champ" what is that going to say when nog lost three times to Fedor? You know what its going to mean? that the best HW UFC has is second best.... shit eater!
Sun, 12/21/08 - 09:19
G Funk and gvd just immediately proved exactly what I posted above. "...all the upsets you're naming have reason behind them..." And that's what you Fedor fags will do - make excuses for him, too. Fedor's a great fighter. He's not unbeatable and when he loses, you'll have a "reason" for it. But I'm sure it'll have nothing to do with the other guy just flat out beating him or he got caught with a punch. "Fedor was having personal problems". Maybe Tim Sylvia was having personal problems. In fact, I'll bet everyone who's ever lost to anyone but Fedor was having personal problems. Come back in a couple years when you're 18 and then try again, G squad.
Sun, 12/21/08 - 09:53
Sapp v Choi --- G funk v Goog similarities: FREAKS
Sun, 12/21/08 - 10:42
I'm in.
Sun, 12/21/08 - 11:33
I like Mir's attittude.. i get tired of all these fighters who talk prophetic nonsense about how badly they are going to beat their opponents. You have to beat a fighter with your skills, not with the "Secret". Posititve thinking is great but taking it to the degree of disallusion is dangerous and just a sign of insecurity.
Sun, 12/21/08 - 01:34
^I also like (generally) Mir's attitude. However, it always seems there's a bit or arrrogance in his tone -- but in this interview there isn't. But something tells me that Frank really, really, makes preparations for his interviews.
Sun, 12/21/08 - 02:16
I agree with all the comments that find Franks tone refreshing. He sounds sober and circumspect as should any fighter going up against the challenge of his life. This the kind of maturity that I appreciate in MMA, as opposed to weigh-in confrontations and TUF house antics.
Sun, 12/21/08 - 05:36
Holy shit is that Morgan Freeman narrating the Arlovski video?
Sun, 12/21/08 - 09:47
wow. i hate frank mir. but i kinda liked him there. i don't know. maybe its because he made a joker reference, albeit completely irrelevant, but it still makes him cooler than i thought. also i dont think anyone has ever even tried to teach hong man choi how to punch. it is actually comical to watch that retard swing his meat limbs.
Sun, 12/21/08 - 09:59
@ and about cj yes. it is true. he has a very embarrassing gpa. we have been very good friends for 5 years. and he still hasn't told me what it is and i'm sure its not because it's so good that he doesn't want to make me feel uncomfortable.
Sun, 12/21/08 - 10:52
I'll be at the next UFC PPV and I can't wait for mir to get his teeth kicked in. He got lucky once but that blind squirrel isn't about to find a nut for the second time ryshad evans will win his fight and I am a huge forrest "Nutt Hugger" The kid has more heart then almost anyone in mma and he's so fucking humble its hard not to love him. I also can't wait for rampage to lose his second fight in a row maybe this time he'll drive that big retarded truck of his off a bridge and as for Fedor.. everyones favorite fatty who kinda reminds me of the cowboys a hype :D when he does finally lose it's gonna be amazing and I think that loss is coming very very soon.. and how the fuck is anyone gonna bring up an interview with Sylvia he's the worst match fedors ever had the guys the biggest gathering of bile on legs seriously? You don't know MMA if you bring an interview with tim sylvia into the disscussion thanks im going to bed the Kat has spoken!
Mon, 12/22/08 - 12:13
Fools! I brought real numbers statistics to the discussion, referring to real world facts. You bring fairy land fools oppinions. Quote by Karmaatemycat, "You don't know MMA if you bring Silvia into the discussion"??? Turd Sandwich, Karmaatemycat and Goog have spoken!!! Dumbasses...... I feel like I've been arguing with children, I am ashamed with myself for going this long with halfwitted bumbkins
Tue, 12/23/08 - 01:15
When was the last time you saw that collection of Bile make a good show? If memory suits me I think it's been like three years has it not?
