Gerald Harris isn't half bad but Lovato is just a ground monster.

You need haters. Fellas if you got 20 haters, you need 40 of them motherfuckers. If there's any haters in here that don't have nobody to hate on, feel free to hate on me

i hate to be the bearer of bad news but Mir is like -130 so this is not a done deal at all. both of these fighters are real pieces of poo poo and we just dont know how bad they'll be tonight. it's a real guess of just who wants it less tonight

Gerald Harris was in the middle of his second retirement and had no intentions of ever fighting again 5 days ago.

Mir should dominate Fedor in basically every aspect of the fight but Frank Mir is also Frank Mir and can get knocked out at any point in time.

I suspect its going to be a gassy boring decision.

When was the last time Fedor beat a legitimate, relevant contender? He beat Arlovski right before he went on the skids, but that was like ten years ago.

Probably like 2005 or so, when he beat Crocop.

Oh, yeah. No. My bad. I wasn't implying that at all. Sorry for the confusion.

Maybe it would have been better worded as, "When was the last time beating Fedor meant anything?"

Man, you might not be wrong. It's been a while. Although 2009 Arlovski is maybe not so bad, right? I'll have to check Wikipedia.

Arlovski's last good win before that (in terms of an opponent) was a lackluster decision over Werdum. before that, he got knocked out by Tim Sylvia, then spent 25 minutes stuck on the end of Sylvia's jab.

Arlovski was basically never really good, but he was better than most of the rest.

Heavyweight is the kind of division where not being very good is not a disqualifying factor for being a contender, c.f. Travis Browne, Derrick Lewis and Mark Hunt

If you can be consistently Okay, you're gonna go far

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Let us appreciate there is a chance that a sitting president will be toppled that will involve this picture

Yeah. I'm not under the impression that Arlovski was ever Superman, or anything. That's why I included "relevant" in my question. I figure it's fair to judge fighters by the available competition at any point in time.

My first instinct was that 2009 Arlovski was still relevant, but that might just be straight-up wrong.

That was sort of Arlovski's thing: he was okay at a bunch of things, strong, and didn't have any glaring weaknesses. Then his chin turned to dust.

Yeah, in that 'all heavyweights are three wins away from a title shot' kind of way, Arlovski was still relevant. However, in the context of his career, he's 'among the lower part of the top tier of a bad bunch'

That seems fair.

I took a quick screen capture of the slow-motion Fedor shadow boxing they just showed.
