Andre Arlovski doesn't go for the flying knee. Does he beat Fedor?

[Rajon Rondo]

I know it was a first round KO in mid air but AA was winning the fight before that stupid flying knee

 

[Tone505]

no

 

[Simple Southerner]

 

[Slatersan]

Fedor would’ve found the chin either way

 

[Phisher]

No. There's footage of that fight from an angle different than the one that was broadcasted that showed most of the shots people thought were landing on Fedor were missing.

Fedor picked his spot and KO'd him. That was his last great performance IMO.

 

[The Demon Sword]

Yes, he’s was a bad style matchup for fedor

 

[mjfan23]

How is one to know?

 

[Eiffel-sixtyFight]

Yes, he’s was a bad style matchup for fedor

 

[HHJ]

No.

Fedor didnt know he was even going for one,he had his fist targeting Arlo's chin either way. A cornered Fedor is a dangerous Fedor.

 

[Deathbycalfkick]

Nope, Fedor was still fast and aggressive at that point of his career. He was headhunting more but his reflexes hadn't started to wane yet.

 

[DoctorDeelon]

Definitely possible. Arlovski was probably at his peak at the time. If Dan Henderson could put Fedor's lights out, you can't rule out an Arlovski KO.

 

[kingmob6]

Arlovski aint got shit on Fedor. He would have faceplanted a minute later either way.

 

[B ville Famous]

Yes.

 

[SaigeVanZant]

Yes. Easy

 

[CinemaKingdom]

Yes, he’s was a bad style matchup for fedor

 

[CinemaKingdom]

People forget Arlovski used that flying knee with success before. I believe it was the first Ben Rothwell fight. The technique wasn't bad, Fedor was just incredible. It would have worked on most guys.

I was actually shocked at the way he was dominating Fedor before that Tiger Knee mistake.

 

[HaulParris]

Say Arlovski beat Fedor - would Arlovski then go on a tear instead of a losing streak?

 

[Talon81]

I was actually shocked at the way he was dominating Fedor before that Tiger Knee mistake.

Except he wasn't. Watch it again. Pretty much nothing landed. The fight was only 3 minutes in and very few shots had landed for either fighter at that point.
