Wow! It hasn't been a good time for Arlovski at all. It's these up-and-coming fighters that keep me in the sport. Can't wait for him to start getting bigger and bigger matches. My favorite part of the clip: around 6:20 when they show Fedor (who is in attendance) start smiling. I wonder what that means? Arlovski was once hailed as the only man who had a good chance of taking Fedor down.

Thought the stoppage was a little quick but Arlovski wasn't complaining.

Yeah, I thought that too at first, but if you look at the slow motion replay, Arlovski took three or 4 hits right on the chin and it looks like his lights went off.

So far, Brett "The Grim" Rogers has a pro fight record of 10 wins (9 KO's/TKO's and 1 submission). Matches have ended within the first round. What a beast.

I don't know that Fedor has to keep an eye out for this guy but he definitely surprised the hell out of a lot of people.

Just hoping Arlovski can make it back to where he once was, but not sure if that'll happen

He has yet to face an exerienced grappler. I wouldn't put him in the top 10 just yet.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. I wasn't saying that Rogers is suddenly one of the top heavyweights in the world. As a hardcore MMA fan, I would be one of the last people to say that he's sufficiently proven himself. However, he is certainly someone to look out for (as a fan), and that is all I'm saying. Personally, I don't think Rogers' style would do well against Fedor's.

When I mentioned Fedor, I was just commenting on that awkward smile he gave the camera (strange). And the comment about Arlovski being one to take down Fedor was simply to provide people who don't know much about either fighter with some context. Although I realize now that if people don't know about Arlovski, they probably don't know about Fedor, either.

Anyway, The Grim is just someone to pay attention to, much like Shane Carwin (who recently defeated Gabriel Gonzaga). There are a lot of untested heavyweights who are just starting to face tougher opponents. Oh Brock Lesnar... even Kimbo Slice is getting another chance!

It would be polite to not post spoilers for everyone to see (I watched it last night so was ok). Rolling Eyes

You're completely right. I can't believe I forgot about that. My apologies.

Shane Carwin is definitely someone to watch out for.

I just hope Mir takes down the weiner-chest Lesnar

BTW, good fight between Faber and Brown tonight, check it out if you can get it! I'm in the states so I was able to watch it live, I won't ruin the results for you but you won't be disappointed with any of the fights
