The only thing that helmet isn't covering is his biggest problem. That glass chin.

If I were allowed to wear full body armor, I could be a contender, too.

He got some good shots in on Fedor but yeah... In the end Fedor took advantage of the glass chin.

that picture is friggin hilarious. that beard coming out the bottom is awesome. sherdog ranks him as the number 8 heavyweight in the world. i also find it kind of funny that brock lesnar is rated number 3, behind fedor and josh barnett, especially given the fact that im 99% sure he will never fight either of them.

It was a great fight and Andre was definitely winning that round. Sadly, I think the 2nd punch Fedor threw crumpled him.

That fight proved just how good Fedor is, blocked almost everything sent his way and landed the perfect punch.

this statement makes me wonder if you are talking about the same fight we're talking about (fedor v andre arlovski from this year). Arlovski connected everything he threw in the first minute and a half before they clinched. He staggered Fedor with one of his early punches and Fedor was looking downright amateurish in his strike attempts thanks to Arlovski's quickness. The punch that knocked out andre looked pretty lucky to me and it probably wouldn't have knocked out someone with a better chin. Frankly Fedor was not looking at all like the number one fighter in the world for this fight

I am talking about the same fight. Go watch it in slow motion, Fedor knocks everything aside. Arlovski didn't connect with anything solid there, a few glancing blows at best. Granted, Fedor was taken back by his quickness, but still wasn't getting hit with anything that was going to hurt him.

No, it's you who needs to watch it again. About 20 seconds in, Fedor eats a punch from Arlovski, and another right at about 1:10.

Fedor eats two more, one at 2:52 in, and the last coming at about 3 minutes. I'm going to go with the opinions uttered by the paid professional commentators who were there. Fedor had his lands low the whole fight. The only thing he was using to knock aside punches was his dome.

Now there would be a thrilling evening, watching boxing in slow motion. Would that mean you drink your beer in slow motion while watching?
