Andrei Arlovski is more fast and explosive then Fedor and Tim beat him twice.

Who is the 2nd? Werdum? 
It doesn't matter that Tim beat Arlovski twice, Fedor beat Nog twice and Nog beat Tim, so what? This is a completely different fight. |

I think he's talking about how striking wise Arlovski is more explosive than Fedor and he couldn't get inside on Sylvia.

Nog could and he is not as explosive nor as good a striker as Fedor is.

True but it took him 3 rounds and Fedor can't take half the punishment Nog can. Not a knock on Fedor no one has half the chin of Nog. Nog had to take a crazy amount of punishment to get inside and Fedor wouldn't be able to take that kind of damage.

No, he shoot some times in the 1st round, he just couldn't get Tim down because Nog's takedowns aren't great, while Fedor's are. Plus you don't know how much punishment can Fedor take, because he has never been in a position where he has being hit a lot, he's also lot better than Nog at avoiding being hit so who says that he'll take the same punishment as Nog to get inside. |

I bet this is pretty much their entire all-star line-up ... or am I wrong?

If they have the potential to nail all these World Class fighters, I have faith that here will be many more to come.

I don't care if this is their whole line-up, as long as their next main events are things like Fedor-Barnett, and Fedor-Arlovski I'll buy them for sure (will they ship to Spain? Hell I hope so).

Pyros, you're writing off Sylvia way too easily. To say Fedor can just go in there and throw Sylvia like he's a ragdoll is somewhat ignorant imo. Sylvia is a professional and I'm sure he's been working his wrestling clinch and has had tons of judo guys come work with him. He knows he'll lose if it goes to the ground, without a doubt and he learned his lesson from the Nog fight. I'm not saying Fedor won't take Sylvia down, I'm sure it will eventually happen, but it's not going to be as easy as you make it sound like. This is definitely going to be one hell of a fight.
