DreamFighters.com: How did that fight go for you? Do you feel Andrei was getting the better of you standing up?


Fedor Emelianenko: No, I don’t. Arlovski is a very good striker but if you watch the fight closely you can see he didn’t hit me that much. I did not feel in trouble at any moment.

The first time I saw the fight, it looked like AA got some good shots in... but the more times I watched the fight, the more I agree with what Fedor is saying. He was never in any real danger.

Fedor Broke The Delusional Fan's View That Arlovski Was Winning

Quick question, how do you 'break' a point of view, delusional or otherwise?

Also, what exactly is 'delusional' about saying Arlovski was winning? Hypothetically, if the fight had been abandoned a second before Fedor landed the hook, I would have scored the round 10 - 9, based on Arlovski landing more clean shots. So would a lot of people. Where's the delusion? Or can fights not get won on decision now? Where was I when Affliciton announced that? Did I miss that mee-mo?

Fedor thinks Arlovski never had him in trouble. That's a legitimate (if unsurprising) point of view. It doesn't mean that Arlovski wasn't out-scoring him in the striking department though. Fedor says Arlovski didn't hit him that much. Well, the only strike of consequence that Fedor landed in that entire fight was the one that knocked Arlovski out.

To imply that people are 'delusional' for thinking that Arlovski wasn't winning is a bit much.

Awesome, I was just thinking "man, I wish someone would start a new thread about whether or not Arlovski was beating Fedor in their fight a month ago. I'm gonna go start a thread about GSP greasing.

I was watching some fedor fights last night, in particular the fight with Mark Hunt. Fedor's nose gets busted and he gets taken down etc etc. Then he rips the guys shoulder with a kimura.

Fedor won, period. Who cares what happened leading up to the finish?

Winning on points without Hitting? I would score that a draw before the KO because Fedor is Landing His Muay Knees on the clinch

If you slow down the fight, you see all the punches he was blocking.

But you get points for aggression/ throwing punches not blocking them. With that said it would mean Arlovski was winning/ technically. Not saying Fedor was in trouble or was going to lose if Arlovski did not throw the knee.
Fedor has looked to be in trouble in other fights, I thinks that leads his opponet to make a mistake and get submitted.

I second this and say that even if Fedor was blocking or parrying those stikes Arlovski was throwing or landing more strikes and showing more aggresssion. The clinch was a stalemate also. Yes Fedor won that fight but the fact is Arlovski pushed the action to tryo to win for better or worse.
