Arlovski's ground game vs. Nelson last night looked suspect but I think Arlovski vs. Fedor should be a lock now unless they have Barnett vs. Arlovski and winner fights Fedor.
Fedor could definately knock him out but Arlovski has the reach. The easier win for Fedor would be to take down Arlovski. He did nothing when Nelson had him on the ground and Fedor has ground skills.
Yes, I think this is the best fight for Affliction by far (in terms of PPV's because of the recognition of the fighters). This fight gives them the best chance of sticking around, which I hope they do.
I haven't heard yet but I would imagine Vitor will be recovered from his hand injury by then.
Have we heard about any other fights on this card yet? Mat interviewed Tom Atencio this week and he said he most likely would not be signing Carano and Cyborg. I think this will help to promote the event and sell PPVs. In addition, females make much less so the pay back potential would be big. Even if he doesn't do another female fight after, Affliction needs to get in the black now.
I see Fedor passing with flying colors. But theres this painful image in my head of Arlovski pulling a Fujita with his spray of strikes and actually knocking him out.

And we all saw what Fedor did to Silvia. I don't think there's much that Arlovski has that Fedor doesn't have better. I believe that this fight will end in a submission by Fedor early in the fight. Don't think Arlovki's ground game even compares to Fedor's.
This card does look weak. How much is theis gonna cost us? I was in the Harley shop the other day and they were selling affliction clothes and promoting the fight. No one around here seems that interested in it to be honest. In a way that is sad because it gives UFC the motivation to keep a higher standard. This is good for fighters and fans.
Affliction came out of the gate swinging but doesn't look so hot anymore. It doesn't seem like they have the money to spend on big fights anymore but how else are they going to get viewers at first?
