View Full Version : Fedor: "My next opponent is Arlovski"
Dostoevsky

"My next opponent is Andrei Arlovski"
"The next Affliction event is supposed to be in November, but we'll try to make it in October so I can prepare for the NYE in Japan"
"I don't know who is going to be my opponent in the Dream NYE but I want to fight Josh Barnett in the US in March."
"I want to catch up on lost time and fight more this year. The next Affliction event is scheduled for november, but we are going to try to move it up to october so that I can prepare adequately for my Dream fight in december."

Arlovski, Couture and Barnett on the horizon? :think

Intersting. Barnett is needed for legacy as he was a big name in Pride that never happened. Couture and Arlovski would be huge on the resume as well.

If he beats all three thn nobody can doubt him as the greatest mma fighter of all time and maybe one of the greatest allround athletes.

It would be great if he fought those 3 guys. The Dream fight will most likely be against Mirko. The Dream HW roster (Mirko, Hunt, Overeem) is very thin at the moment so if Mirko get injured or something there could be problems. Then again there is always Bobby Ologun. :yep

mma is still in its pioneering state.100 years from now fedor will be looked at
like example:Jim Jefferies of mma.
Expect to see much better mma fighters in the next 10 years that
can box kick wrestle in a quicker pace and advanced stances and
new fighting techniques.

That would be insane if he beats all 3 guys all 3 being former Champions. His resume will be filled with almost every Heavyweight Champion in MMA history.
Coleman,Randleman,Couture,Sylvia,Nogueria,Barnett,Arlovski and of course Cro Cop being a Grand Prix Champ not to mention some of the other fellas hes beat like Herring,Fujita,Babalu,Arona ETC. Fedors is something else and id pick him to beat all 3 although they are his toughest challengers in my opinon atleast on paper. Arlovski would probablly be his toughest he can match Fedor with the Russian Sambo and his striking id actually give him the advantage hes so light on his feet and has that Heavyweight power with Lightweight speed. Great fight id pay good money to see it.

Arlovski is a bit suspect on the ground.
Like when he attempted that amateurish mistake of going for the heel hook against Rothwell and was unable or didn't even seem to know how to guillotine Jake O'Brien at his last UFC fight.
His striking is excellent though, better than Fedor's. But the question is the mental game, will Arlovski fold under the mental pressure and become timid against Fedor?

Yeah im not sold on his Jiu-Jitsu skills although his Sambo is good though which is consist of alot of leg locks. Hes never been submitted so maybe its better then we think though. I wouldnt wanna go to the ground with Fedor though.

This fight makes sense - particularly considering the excellent recent showing by both men. I hope Arlovski is working on his ground game - because as stated above - his hell hook attempt against Rothwell was horrible, resulting in a loss of superior positioning and against a better ground fighter - that could have cost him the fight.

Arlovski has been impressive again lately, but I just don't see him beating Fedor.
Barnett is a nice addition legacy wise, but it certainly won't make or break him.

In my opinion its kind of like Tyson-Lewis. At this moment in time the fight is meaningless, but they are both contemporaries and have been for several years from rival orgs that need to fight even if its just academic in who is going to win. It needs to happen for the record books.

Cause MMA is not old enough.
I say Karelin is one of the greatest athletes of all time because of his record in highly competetive sport.

but if Fedor retire undefeated, in 40 years, with his record with Barnett, Arlovski, Couture, and a couple of other good name..his name is gonna be brought out again for the greatest mma fighter of all time..
for me the fact that the sport is young don't change a lot..it's not like Fedor is a kind of Wilt Chamberlin...if you get my point..

He is not ONE of the greatest athletes of ALL TIME. Let me give you an example to help you out. Think along the lines of a Bo Jackson as one of the greatest athletes of all time . He pro level athlete in multiple sports because he was one of the GREATEST ATHLETES OF ALL TIME. Your head is stuck in the mma world and fedor is in my mind the greatest of all time in that but he is not one of the greatest althletes of all time geeeeeeeez nut hugger.
do you know many Bo Jackson you idiot?
athlete ain't just about run fast, be a great running back, or being a .250 hitter in MLB, that is GREAT for a man to do that..but it's not JUST that for god sake..
I rate Mariusz Pudzianowki as one of the greatest athlete as well, got a problem with that?
Mohamed Ali is always named in the GREATEST ATHLETE OF ALL TIME, what did he do different than Fedor?

Bo jackson. no surprise here., an ex-NFL and baseball player. Because we all know , the best specimens are found in baseball & NFL. (and in america of course! since it's the center of the planet )
and you have the balls to even say " Your head is stuck in the mma world"
Note: i'm not even defending fedor here. But if your own head ain't stuck somewhere else , you sure have a rather biased conception of "the" greatest athlete".
Not saying that Bo jackson was shit either...He was amazing in his own way. but the greatest ever ? get the fuck outta here.
For one , there's tons of absolutely amazing athletes out there. and none of them can pretend to be the greatest ever. To be the greatest ever , you'd have to excell in many disciplines.
But there's no such thing as a guy wjo excels in all forms of sports.
Find me a guy who's # 1 in swiming , boxing , mma , kickboxing , soccer , tennis , judo , greco wrestling , baseball , basketball , NHL , NFL...then you might have a winner....
All we can do is compare their dominance in their specialty.
The greatest ever ? yes but only in their own sports.

find me one list of greatest athletes out there (there are many by all the major sport publications) with fedors name on it from a reputable source. And not the quebecwarrior is an idiot list.
is the name fightfan312 who was owned by boxing car in the other thread is okay for source??

Right now I see Fedor(if he retires virtually undefeated) as Rocky Marciano of MMA
If Fedor fights all these guys within that time period my hat is off to him and that does make up for his lost time of fighting his latest fights.

if you wouldnt be so ignorant, you would know that all these list are all 90 percent listed of american

You, in all seriousness, post things like this:
ahahahaahh you just got pwned
You don't like MMA.
You think the best heaveyweight MMA fighter in the world would get beat by someone who has never trained in MMA a day in his life.
You think most of the regular posters here are idiots.
You'de apparently never heard of Mirko Cro Cop.
You think Mike Tyson has superpowers, rendering anyone who steps in a 6ft radius of his fists unconscious.
You type like a 12 yr old girl.
Please go away.
Tiger Woods keeps winning "Male Athlete of the Year" awards by the American sports media. So to say that Fedor couldn't or shouldn't be considered one of the greatest athletes of all-time is lunacy. A fukin golfer does not have more athletic ability the ANY fighter much less THE best fighter in the world.

i just said think along the lines of Bo Jackson not that he is the best ever. Ill give another example of Jackie Robinson if i remember right he was excellent at like 3 or 4 sports before he ended up in baseball. People that can hop from sport to sport and excel at a very high level are natural athletes and this type is rare. sorry but fedor is not this type of athlete. would Wayne Gretzgey (sp) be ne of the greatest athletes of all time?
