I dont think he was exposed at all. He was completely off balance and flying forward and got hit square on the jaw. Fedor is awesome

All that being said I'd love to see Fedor vs Arlovski II. Barnett stands no chance to get on top of Fedor for a win. Barnett is no boxoffice draw. Affliction would be smart to go to Fedor vs Arlovki II

Scotty Ferrell should stick to being on Howard 101 on Sirius. And Chucky Pancamo from Oz, I mean Chuck Zito.

Tito was TERRIBLE!!! His vocabulary is limited, how many times did he say awsome or great job? He said Babalu is 132 years old.

Hope somebody can help me with this but what are some good public places like bars or restaurants in downtown Toronto or the surrounding areas to go see UFC 94? Any feedback would be great. Thanks.
People ask the question... what's a RocknRolla? And I tell 'em - it's not about drugs, drums, and hospital drips, oh no. There's more there than that, my friend. We all like a bit of the good life - some the money, some the drugs, other the sex game, the glamour, or the fame. But a RocknRolla, oh, he's different. Why? Because a real RocknRolla wants the f*cking lot.

I think Arlovski was already exposed after being knocked out by Timmy.

That was a fantastic event. I would have loved to see the main event last longer, but it was still a very satisfying finish. Have you ever seen a heavyweight knocked unconcious mid-air and land on his face? Some thoughts:

- It was funny how Tito was getting booed every time he spoke

- Lauzon was totally milking the stoppages. The first kick was just a couple inches below the navel, and the last was on the side of the hip. But good job on getting the choke.

- If Affliction is trying to get credibility, WTF were they doing with this Scott Farrell character?

- Sobral's choke was gorgeous, and came just when I thought Soko was getting out of a bad situation

- Barnett is a beast!

- Fedor is unbelievable. Look how loosely he bounced off the ropes as if he was dazed, and then BAM! It was like he knew exactly what Arlovski was going to do in that situation, and goaded him into it.

Fedor seems to have a bit of trouble with bigger or stronger guys (except Sylvia), but the minute they make the tiniest mistake, it's over. We saw it with Randleman (I can watch that reverse 100 times without getting tired of it), Choi, and now Arlovski. Also, this fight puts new meaning to Sylvia's statement that Fedor's punches are by far the hardest he ever felt.

I disagree completely. From what I understand, Fedor's approach to every fight is to feel out his opponent in the early rounds before he commits to being offensive. In the case with Tim, he threw a punch, he went down, so he continued a relentless attack. In the case with Arlovski, i thought he was feeling him out for most of the round up to the point when he got knocked out.

What really happened in the round? Arlovski threw a few punches (non of them did much if any damage), a couple leg kicks (some landed and some where dodged) and a struggle against the rope where nothing really happened (hence having to be broken up by Ref). How was he dominate? He was striking from the outside to safeguard his position of not being hit. i didn't even see Fedor do anything before that KO. When he did do something, he knocked him out. Was Arlovski being dominated? I do not think so.

Fedor may "feel opponents out" but not to the point where he is nearly beaten or takes any significant damage.

Fedor was no where near 'nearly beaten' he surely did not take any significant damage. I'm not a fighter, so I can only comment purely from an analytical standpoint, but for a fighter to feel out an opponent it is likely that he/she will be on the receiving end of a couple shots. These shots may be right on the button and they might not be, but the point is the gauge distances, speed, agility, etc. If the fighter hasn't gotten into a comfortable grove, and gets struck in the face, is the plan of attack going to be throw out the 'feeling stage' and swing like a mad man?

Fedor could have been letting Arlovski have his way, because surely, you can admit that even if he was being dominated, he wasn't at all on the offense the way Arlovski was. If anything, Arlovski was flying with overconfidence, and thus he got jarred and thrown to the mat.
