Hunter's Torn Quad 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2009 It looked like Arlovski was giving Fedor some trouble before sailing into that big right hand. It's a shame, because the fight looked like it could actually be competitive. Yvel took a beating from Barnett, and while I really don't like him, he has some heart to hang in there. Conversely, I'm not sure Barnett doesn't lose some steam by taking so long to finish Yvel off. I guess this leads to Fedor vs. Barnett, but Fedor, or at least his people, seem reluctant to make the right. But it really has to happen, and one would expect Fedor to take the scalp of another former UFC champion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AboveAverage484 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2009 While I don't think Fedor will just walk all over Barnett, I do think that he has the distinct advantage of being just that much better at everything (stand up, take downs, ground game) than Josh. Even if you call "push" in those three areas, Fedor still has the advantage in ground and pound. Barnett has also had a tendency to blow up in some of his fights, while Fedor usually has a consistently solid gas tank to work with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is a shame that Arlovsky acted a fool by jumping in the air towards his opponent.......I am sure Roach was like "umm....WTF" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rendclaw 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2009 Yeah, for chrissakes, its only fucking Babalu.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HollywoodSpikeJenkins 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2009 Okay, okay. So, Babalu is a member of Team Gracie Barra, as am I. I heard in passing, that Babalu invited a black belt (not naming names and no, not from my school) over to Cali, all expenses paid, to hang out. And when I say all expenses paid, I mean Babalu paid for the airfare, comped front row tickets, the hotel, the after-party at the strip clubs, the works. So while this big after-party is going down, said black belt meets a *hot* girl and they begin flirting around all night. Eventually into the AM, most of the party goes back to the hotel. At the hotel, they continue flirting with the girl going, "Can you show me some moves?" The black belt responds with, "Show me your mount." So they go to a bedroom and she mounts him and they start messing around. Meanwhile, Babalu is passed out in the hot tub, in typical fashion. After a while, he wakes up and stumbles into the bedroom and the girl SHRIEKS and runs into the bathroom, locking herself in the room. The black belt is all confused until Babalu storms at him, screaming "THAT'S MY FUCKING GIRLFRIEND!" Everyone at the party starts freaking out, while the black belt is going "I didn't know" over and over. Babalu turns his attention to the bathroom door and starts banging on it, trying to get the girl to open up. The best part is, the black belt who was messing with the girl goes, "I thought you were married?" Babalu responds, "I am, but SHE'S MY BITCH!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daileyxplanet 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2009 I know I'm a little late on this. But I really hope Arlovski rethinks his bid for pro-boxing. Granted, he jumped into that fist, but come on... A pro-boxer has to have more power than that, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
