You never know who you are going to see... Horodecki should win his fight, still can't believe how old he is. Big fan of Arlovski AND he has the best shot at giving Fedor some good "practice". That said, I think Roach may have pissed Fedor off with all of his drivel. The baddest man on the planet is also one of the most fearsome strikers. He also does not stand around and admire is handiwork after he has them hurt. If I were Andrei, I'd be working on my bicycling technique as that is the only way he makes it to the final bell. Roach's comments actually got a comment from Fedor. "Andrei and I are fighting MMA, not boxing". About as stern as it gets from the quiet man. A pissed off Fedor is not someone Andrei wants to be in the ring with, no how, no way. Fedor by domination. Standing, sitting, or playing tiddly winks. Does not matter. Fedor smash.

Fedor's boxing is flawed. Thank god he's a mixed martial artist. We've seen what they do to boxers. And Vitor finding religion then moving to Las Vegas is coincidence . He'd have to move to Las Vegas, then find religion, that would be ironic. Roach is absolutely right. Fedor’s boxing is flawed. Thank god he’s a mixed martial artist.

As a side note why do people give AA no credit for his ground game? He is no slouch! I feel this will be a good fight where both fighters get there bells ring.

All in all it's a great fight for the sport, it will show that there's room for other mma organizations in the world, coming off of the elite xc collapse.

This was an interesting perspective. I like that the trainers are starting to give more interviews. The fighters are always good too, but sometimes it is too much of the same... few fighters do good analysis. Trainers on the other hand should be better at it. I ilked reading about Chris Horodecki, I didnt realize he was that good. I'll have to check out some of his fights. enjoyed the interview, thanks.

MMA & Boxing are 2 total different worlds. I'm not a fedor fan but even i have to admit that Fedor's hands are lethal. LOok the guy was able to outstrike Cro Cop who was the "most feared heavyweight striker" at the time.In saying so i hope Aarlovski knocks Fedor out even though that is a feat that many will say is impossible Freddie Roach really shouldn’t be speaking on MMA or none of it’s fighters.

He beat the crap out of rothwell(who beat krystof and other good opponents) not to mention he koed him. Also, he koed roy nelson, people talk like the fight shouldn't have been stood up, but the fact is roy was gassed attempting the kimura and it was only the second round. Roy was really gassed and he got koed in the second. What makes anyone think roy nelson would of lasted in the third when he got picked apart by aa on the feet in the second round. People can't compare the tim sylvia fight because that was a while ago, and andrie beat him before with a leg lock. That's like me mentioning other people's loses in pride (aka anderson silva) btw I'm giving props to aa, but i want fedor to destroy him AA is on a 4 win win streak I think, 4, or 5.
