Yeah he really needs to work on his BJJ because the referee saved him from a possible loss. Freddie is old school without a clue.

This is a guy who does not watch MMA and thinks the ground game is "boring" (he did an interview with Fight! Mag and stated it). Fedor did not get lucky, that is Fedor, and yes Arlovski did pull a dumb move, but that is part of the game. Who's to say that Arlovski goes for a clinch and Fedor does not pull him down and submit him. I am a huge Arlovski fan, but it seems that instead of getting more well rounded, a guy who is already a good striker has limited his game severely. Personally I think he needs to train more Muay Thai and BJJ. Freddie Roach is an idiot when it comes to MMA striking and Arlovski needs to get away from him now!

Arvloski is a better striker? Are you sure? We really don't know who's the better striker until they get in the ring. Arvloski's striking did not look so great against Tim Sylvia or Fedor. Needless to say this card sounds GREAT!! ---- I think folks should let go of the "Arvloski seemed to be" or was winning until he got caught point. :-) He was clearly posterized by a better striker who was not trained by popular boxing coach Freddie Roach who happened to feel Emelianenko (30+ wins, undefeated) got lucky. I think Rogers is underrated.

Rogers has the power to do that. Arlovski is a better striker..but..it only takes one shot and it's night night time. The only bad part…Arlovski is prone to being knocked out.

I hope we get to see the winner of this bout take on Overeem for the Strikeforce Heavyweight belt. Arlovski vs. Overeem could be an awesome fight. Anyway, Rogers vs. Arlovski is what we're looking at for now, and that's going to be plenty exciting. I think Rogers is underrated, but I don't think he'll take Arlovski. Still, if it turns into a slugfest, it'd be fun to watch. Also, Rogers is a huge heavyweight, which adds another fun dynamic to the bout. This is going to be cool.
