Fedor suffers a hand injury huh?

I'm thinking the post fight interview went something like this

Timmay- "I'm never been hit so hard in my life!"

Fedor- "I've never hit so hard in my life, maybe I'll just flick the next guy in the nose. That should be good enough."

I'm dissapointed Fedor won't be fighting,but Hand injuries are something he has a history of,so it shouldn't be that suprising.Barnett VS AA will still be a solid match though.

If Arlovski wins that will move him up to 4th in the world heavy rankings.
However, Arlovski has never tangled with anyone like Barnett before.
I say Barnett wins.

This is a better step up the ladder than Rothwell then Fedor....

Looks better for the new improved Arlovski to fight Rothwell Barnett then Fedor

I know these guys can stand and bang they are fairly even on there feet IMO (igive AA a slight edge) BUT I would like to see some Catch Wrestling vs Sambo. I want to see how AA measures up on the ground because that is a big ? for me. I like Barnett in this one because of experience and I think he'll be able to take it to the ground and pull out a submission. I like both these guys but I gotta go with Barnett.

I don't think Fedor will ever fight Arlovski or Randy because he will lose and he will not be able to handle the loss.
Fedor crushes Sylvia and Arlovski Ko's Rothwell and it seemed like a perfect fight, a worthy opponent for Fedor but an injury, of course, what a surprise

So Arlovski against Barnett is a good fight but I swear if Fedor ends up on that card fighting some has been or never was.

I just want Fedor to fight someone we all think is a tough fight, well maybe next year.

Definitely a more likely win for Arlovski than vs Fedor. Arlovski R1, KO/TKO.

i see this as an excellent fight....either barnett wins by decison from utilizing ground control or arlovski wins via tko late in the fight.....barnett looked good against and excellent striker in rizzo tho, and arlovski as good enough ground game not to get submitted or dominated as well....could be a stand a bang and the first that goes down wins....barnett has the better chin...close fight cant wait

This is a better match up for both guys than Fedor. I thought it was kinda sad before that Arlovski was getting "rewarded" for his decimation of Rothwell with a fight against Fedor.
