but the key is that J.Barnett and Fedor are friends and I doubt that they’ll square off …remember both have multiple arenas to compete in not only Affliction

and Fedor could easily take 2 matches in m-1 and then go on holiday b4 taking a NYE match for a Japanese MMA promo.

as for an Arlovski-Fedor match…i’d rather see Barnett-Arlovski…that would be a great match and since both are relatively healthy now

it would be nice to see the 2 in April or May.

I totally agree, it was an excellent night of very watchable and entertaining fights. The author is quite right in stating that once underway it was Arlovski's to lose. He had Fedor unbalanced and confused...until that final devastating punch when Arlovski got a bit over eager. Personally I'd love to see a rematch and don't feel that Barnett, as primarily a grappler, matches up very well with Fedor.

Fedor always makes every fight exciting. Fedor vs. Randy really is like the biggest dream match, because Fedor, in every fight, brings the 'can he be beaten, will this be the time?' With Randy it is 'can he pull it off? Can he defy the odds again?' Them together would be an incredibly tense match. Thanks. Fedor always makes every fight exciting.
