Arlovski was doing so well and Fedor was looking ill, but Fedor is
the man.
R:5 A:3- S:3 T:3
Its silly to criticize Arlovski for his performance against Fedor. He was doing really well and the problem with the flying knee was that he dropped his hands. But this is MMA and shit happens. The knee was a gamble, but so is every offensive move. Fedor certainly looked ripe for it at the time.
Meanwhile, was it just me or did Fedor look like he was sick before and during the fight?
Fedor was not himself and Arlovski looked very well, the knockout came very sudden when Arlovski looked a lot better then Fedor (nothing spectacular though, no hard punches or anything else, he just looked faster and more fit).
The interview with Fedor when he says that he goes in without a gameplan makes me believe that Fedor will soon meet his match, maybe it will not be a better fighter then him, just one that figures out his game.
