Told You Arvloski Has A Glass Jaw

[Rico Spadafora]

of course the usual idiots here tried to act like he doesn't but his Glass Jaw got shattered again.


He needs to retire before he gets seriously hurt.

He does not have the Chin for fighting.

[Polymath]

He was literally flying through the air into a punch from a heavy handed fighter wearing 4oz gloves. Shut up Rico.

[AJAX]

it was a careless move hands at his side and ran into a big overhand right on the chin but he was asleep on the way down. I think the punch was so unexpected is a reason why it was so bad, but none the less AA shouldn't have done that risky move when he was doing so well knowing that his chin isn't cast iron.

[thebrodstar]

It was only a matter of time before Fedor got him another way, Arlovski looked really good though. Hope Silvya doesn't plan on doing much if they fight again.

[Dostoevsky]

If it had landed though we'd all be calling AA a genius soooo.....props to him for taking the risk for our entertainment...:lol: just a pity for him that he almost got decapitated for it.

[jimmie]

Complete and total moron.

[chimba]

Fedor was waiting for AA to do something foolish. He was basically waiting for something stupid like that and boom! Hes just a great cerebral fighter. AA was doing well, it was going to be short live though because Fedor took his couple of straight rights no problm and you know AA would eventually get tagged.

[Arka]

Arlovski doesn't have a glass jaw.He has a 'glass defence'.
What was he thinking rushing in,chin stuck out and with his hands at his waist ? :patsch

[sugarngold]

IN watching the replay - it clearly showed that Arlovksi was trying to land a flying knee as Fedor was ducking his head. He failed to realize that Fedor was unloading that punch while he ducked his head. The jump was a careless mistake against a fighter of Fedor's caliber.

[Kestrel]

Anyone felt Fedor actually set a trap for AA? I mean it seems Fedor back up from AA kick into the ropes and just acted like he was tired and open to attacks with his guards down, and I bet AA thought so too so he jump in for an attack and then Fedor was like "Gotcha!"

This KO looked scary the way AA fell face first, looked like he could have broken his neck if he land wrong. Funny KO though, makes for a good highlights for Fedor. LOL

I must admit if AA can be more patient in his attacks, he will be hard to beat. Would love to see Barnett vs AA.

Yea, I posted same thing in another thread. I think Fedor figured out early on that he can't fake AA like he has Sylvias and Zulus. So he basically opened up himself to open up Arlovski.

I think Fedor would eventually find a way to take him down though but AA had a good plan going in for sure.

[Kairos]

That thing is freaking plastic.

Yup that's how I saw it too. Fedor is a thinking fighter, he realized he can't take AA out like he did against Sylvia and outsmart him by leaving himself open as a bait, and then boom, good night. If you watch his fight with Mark Hunt, he did the same too. He bounces back to the ropes and just let his guard down. Then he reads the opponent is coming in for a strike and he is already throwing his bomb ahead of them. Like playing chess, he checkmate them and they fall for it.

[Kairos]

Arlovski was one of the weakest chins I've ever seen in mma.

[Hugh Jerrod]

He got caught coming full on forward by a heavy hitter he thought was wobbled. That shit will take out a lot of iron beards too.

[Kairos]

He's gone down like a sack of rocks to weak punches most of his career though.

that's exactly what I thought.

It was'nt a case of "flying knee vs right hand" and whoever landed first would have won.

Fedor set him up just like you said.

He knew what AA was going to do.

Definately. He flopped into the ropes and as soon as AA got airborne he suddenly felt better mid swing and sorted shit out.

[Nuke]

I wonder what Freddy Roach will say about Fedor now?

[EL BULLY]

Fedor setting a trap? I don't think so, jeez the guy looked like shit until he landed that punch. He was getting out boxed big time. AA tried a risky move and got caught. It would've KO'd a lot of fighters but on this, and past performances I have no problem with the fact he is a little fragile around the jaw area.

Fedor is probably P4P no 1 but people seem to think he is invincible and like a Jedi or something: 'Fedor was getting punched in the face on purpose, he got rocked back into the corner as a deliberate plot to draw AA into trying a flying knee'

Truth is the Fedor myth is so big now AA believed he had to do something really drastic to win, he didn't really he should have just carried on out boxing him and be patient and see what happened.

There really wasn't too much on that punch and how many people has Fedor ever properly KO'd standing? He never has. Arlovski has a weak chin.

[MaliSlamusrex]

anyone would have gone down.

[Dostoevsky]

Maybe.....but not like they had been shot in the head with a bazooka. Nog took those punches, Tim took those punches. Andrei just has a weak chin.

[Only registered and activated users can see links]

[MaliSlamusrex]

i agree Arlovski has a weak Chin, that's why he works so much on stand up skills. but i don't think Fedor could have hit him any harder if he tried.

[sitiyzal]

:lol:

[scurlaruntings]

I wonder what Freddy Roach will say about Fedor now?Not alot. He can stick to boxing now.. Lets see if Andrei will enter the pro ranks.

[Irish Steel]

I got a lot of respect fo AA. If he had just stuck to his game plan :lol:

Did you hear his inter view? In a thick Belorusan accent: FLying knee wasnt part of my gameplan. I dont know where I got flying knee from :lol:

[WiDDoW_MaKeR]

It doesn't have anything to do with a glass jaw. I don't see too many people taking a flush power shot from the baddest man on the planet in the middle of a retarded flying knee attempt, with your hands down.... while never seeing the punch coming.

AA has proven before that he can take a punch if he fights smart, and doesn't get overly aggressive...which has always been his downfall. To be honest... he looked great before he once again lost his composure, and gave the fight away on a silver platter.

Not taking anything away from Fedor... as his composure is probably his greatest asset. The great fighters always find a way to win.

[LB3000]

He does not have the Chin for fighting. Well he is a top 10 heavyweight and was a UFC champ. Not bad for a a guy who does not have a chin for fighting.

[AJAX]

that was a good shot right on the button but man he looks like someone took a baseball bat to him....he is totally gone.

Landing on his face from an elevated height didn't help matters much.

[Dostoevsky]

Fedor fucked his shit up. :lol:
I'd been wanting to see this fight since 2003-2005.I just wrote it off as a fantasy match-up because I never thought they'd actually get to fight.

But was this at their peaks?

I see what your saying, BUT this is the very thing most do in the fact that they underestimate Fedor! Oh he looks soft facially, he only 6 foot, he overweight and sporting a beer belly, his punches are not correct, etc etc BUT this is the very reason he is so good that when he needs to actually execute a sub or ko he does! It so simple........but he just has that abilty.

Look at Ali.........he did most things wrong in terms of technique but he was still an awesome fighter.......same foreman.

The guy is the best heavyweight boxer ever!

[Utter1]

sorry thats MMA figther!

AA's 230 odd lbs coming forward and down upon it put a little more on it.
If you leave your feet, you sure as shit better land it.

[Rico Spadafora]

:patsch:rofl

You want AA to enter Pro Boxing? Good lord man with his Glass Jaw he will get KOed by a jab. He will also have to shave that beard that protects that Glass Mandible.

Hate to say it but, I agree with you. Arlovski would be knocked out fairly easily by a jounrneyman boxer.

Speaking of MMA fighters turning to boxing, one commentator mentioned that Sokoujou wanted to try his hand at boxing. Now that would be bad.

Lindland suffered horrible KO and Soko was like a beetle on his back. From guard his the most useless Judoka iv ever seen.

[Beebs]

He has the weakest chin of any elite HW in MMA, that is pretty obvious.

Was anybody really saying "no, Arlovski's chin is great"? Fedor hits hard, but nobody has ever gone down like that from one of his shots before, although landing on his head didn't help Andrei.

You kidding me right? Same exact scenario and I don't think Hunt wouldn't go down. He put his whole body behind it and it was tight and compact AND Arlavski jumped straight into it. So that just doubles it up. If AA has a glass chin, this is NOT proof.

[ufoalf]

[Only registered and activated users can see links]

Thats a great GIF. Im saving this.
I think That's exactly what John McCarthy sees, thats what makes him so great :lol:.

Listen, I really don't care if AA has a glass jaw or not, but this punch was harder and more accurate than Fedor ever landed on ANYone. That is considering AA helped him by jumping right into it.

[WiDDoW_MaKeR]

[Only registered and activated users can see links]

This also shows that Fedor is a damn robot. He is so damn programmed to do certain things in certain situations, that is just unbelievable. First off... he starts throwing that right before AA even leaps, because he knows what AA is about to do before AA knows. Second, he knows that the left hook is supposed to follow in that sequence so his body just does it even though Arlovski is already past him on the way down. Then, as AA drops on his face, Fedor is immediately looking to lunge on top with a left hook to the downed Arlovski (you can tell by the way that his shoulder is cocked, and it would have been the right punch from that position).... Big John jumps in to save Arlovski, and as he forces Fedor's body to turn to the side, you can see Fedor focused, and still visualizing his opponent... turn his right hand up into the hammerfisting position which would be the proper shot from him in that position after Big John moved him. He can't even control his instincts... the man is not human.

i like arlovski, but hate him cause he thinks he can beat fedor like he's just gonna run right through him.

[WiDDoW_MaKeR]

You can look at it two ways. You can either say that it is extremely frustrating... because it is... that Arlovski has so much talent, and that he can't keep his composure and throws it down the toilet at times by fighting too overly aggressive. However.... then when he doesn't, you have people in his ear saying that he is too cautious... just because he is good enough to keep the fight standing, and most of his opponents won't go on the attack when Arlovski is on his standup game. They sort of go into a shell, can't take him down... and Arlovski just outstrikes them. So, he is caught up in trying to be exciting for the fans... and had he landed that flying knee, and knocked Fedor out... people would be raving about it.

As far as what you are saying... I think that it shows great confidence in himself that he is so comfortable in the ring, even against someone like Fedor.... that he will attempt such a dangerous move. I actually felt that it was great to see someone step into the ring against Fedor, that wasn't beat before the bell sounded. Arlovski was in there imposing his will, and it was working... until Fedor does what he always does best and capitalized on AA's mistake.

[Grievesy]

Yes i heard that too. Team Quest didnt do well at all. Lindland suffered horrible KO and Soko was like a beetle on his back. From guard his the most useless Judoka iv ever seen.

Even though it has been shown before, that fight with Babalu showed just how appalling Sokoujou is on the ground. I didn't realise it was that bad. He did fuck all the ground and sat there and let Babalu slap on that choke. I could have put up more of a fight. I mean at least squirm or something ffs!

Its no wonder Dana let him go. And to think he hard balled with the UFC!

I'll admit i was one who got caught in the hype. Seems his wins in Pride were perhaps flukes after all.

[scurlaruntings]

To be honest all i thought when he was in PRIDE was yea great new addition to 205 and fresh meat. But how on earth can you win the US open and be completely useless on the floor?

Poor Andrei. He works so hard and got taken out like that.

Andrei could of won the fight hands down if he had Fedor's durability. But obviously he doesn't. Andrei has everything else besides a chin that he can depend on . Andrei has the size, athletic ability, amzing conditioning, he throws straight quick strikes, has good sambo, just not the best chin.

[ike61]

I wish people would quit saying that Andrei would have won the fight if he'd had stuck to his gameplan. Fedor would have adjusted after the first round and won the fight anyway

[ufoalf]

Hunt would've won if he had a little more knowledge of submissions. Fujita would've won if he was just a little better at finishing people off. Randleman would've won if he was a little better at GNP. Arona would've won if he had a little more endurance. etc etc etc.
The fact is, the DON'T. Too bad for them.

I think AA would have gooten up if he didnt land on his head.

[ShadowWorks]

Nobody is saying Fedor is a perfect fighter and invincible, what makes Fedor so good is his ability to adjust to the situation in real time, Arlovski was to fast and had more reach, fair enough but this ain't boxing, Arlovski made one simple defensive and timing mistake and it was over, Fedor created the most perfect punch thrown in that fight, one perfect punch is better than 100 good punches, Fedor deserve his status as P4P W1.

[Dostoevsky]

Yeah like you can automatically spawn your hands in front of your face in time.

Are you stupid? Everyone automatically puts their hands infront of them when falling, natural reaction. AA was out cold before he hit the canvas, the video clearly shows this.
