Fedor Vs. Arlovski Oct. 11th Affliction

Yahoo sports reports today:

Fedor Emelianenko will defend his newly won World Association of Mixed Martial Arts heavyweight championship belt on Oct. 11 against Andrei Arlovski in the UFC’s backyard.

The UFC has a pay-per-view event the following weekend, which could prove interesting since it would seemingly be difficult to have an opposing event so close (like they did this past Saturday). Who cares though, competition is the fuel of capitalism, and this can only benefit the fans. I don't want to see Fedor V. Arlovski as much as Fedor v. Coutre. But, what we do get is the number one heavyweight in the world V. the number five. Prediction: Fedor in a bloodbath by submission early in the third. It will be hard to see through my tears of joy and hard to hear over my gleeful eruptions, but I will try.

Fedor, Silva, Arlovski, Fight Fans: All Big Winners

Since they happened simultaneously, we watched Affliction first. After the Fedor fight, I'm thinking, "This is the best fighter in the world right now." Until the Silva fight on UFC. Then I was back to thinking Anderson Silva is the best pound for pound. Obviously, everyone on the planet would kill his own mother to see these two fight, but I just don't think it will ever happen. Which is too bad because they are both running out of opponents quickly. Which is more impressive for Silva now that he is essentially in two weight classes. Arlovski was also very impressive, as was the preliminary fight shown on UFC right after the headliner where Rory Markham pulled a head kick out of nowhere that instantly ended Brodie Farber's night.
