EliteXC: Andrei Arlovski talks Roy Nelson

[DestroyerAlexandros]

Wow he's great and I love him but honestly, if he gets KTFO'd in MMA, top boxers will kill him.

[sdeevooo]

@DestroyerAlexandros

not boxers, but strikers. He's one of the best boxers in MMA

[DestroyerAlexandros]

@sdeevooo Bro he was knocked out by Fedor, Kharitonov and Rogers. They're not even great boxers they're great punchers and they don't use much other strikes anyway. So if Arlovski is getting put down by these guys he doesn't stand a chance in boxing.

[sdeevooo]

@DestroyerAlexandros

Again, he's one of the best boxers and Freddie Roach admitted that's he's by far the best mma boxer he's ever trained. Just because he's got a weak chin doesn't make him a bad boxer.

[DestroyerAlexandros]

@sdeevooo Yeah Freddie Roach said if he'd picked up pro boxing there would've been a great future for him.

[ihatebobsaget1989]

impressive he knocked out nelson , who is a good fighter with an amazing chin. you know how hard you'd have to hit to knock out roy nelson?

[porterhouseful]

wow.. i was just gonna say that.. solid snake!

[mrpopenfresh]

Damm you post soviet countries and your love of rat tails and mullets.

[AlcoholicSemenStain]

If he wasnt drunk all the time he could fight better....

[hvapwns]

THA PITBULLLLLLL!

[N1njaSk1llz420]

Man this Arlovski guy hits FAST considering how hard those hits are, maybe not the fastest but anyone going faster then this can't be hitting very hard.

[ToitLikeALiger]

Leonidas?

[eduvc123]

At 2:14 he kind of resembles Solid Snake... lol

[treetoptop]

I like Andrei, but it was very obvious that the ref made Roy get off of him for no reason. Roy would have won that fight, he was in total control on the ground, there was no reason to break them up. Roy was kneeing him in the sides and was about to do to Andrei what he later did to Kimbo and McSweeney.

[amritaherbs]

@treetoptop Nelson is a lazy fighter. What he did to Kimbo was pathetic. He got an inexperienced person in an easy move and rabbit punched him till the ref (by rule of fighting) had to stop the fight.

Roy Nelson will never be champ. He's just a fluke with a beergut. Great power and chin but that's about it.

[treetoptop]

@amritaherbs What he did to Kimbo was not pathetic, it was smart. He got the win in the easiest manner possible without getting injured. Kimbo had no business being in the cage with Nelson, that was an experienced pro vs an amatuer at best. Kimbo is game though and I give him credit - he's humble and tried hard.

U are stuck on Nelson's gut, which I agree he would be better off without. He is no fluke, he is a high level grappler and a black belt BJJ. He beat Frank Mir in a grappling match.

[amritaherbs]

@treetoptop Frank Mir beats himself with his delusional and lengthy verbal exploits as to how "good he is". If Mir fought as well as he spoke or made himself out to be I might actually respect him ;)

I'm not stuck on his gut although it's hard to get around ;)

I gave him props for his chin and power but with that gut grappling would only favor him when he's on top. I still have to think mobility would be an issue

[sh4nky420]

@amritaherbs ... ur a retard mir is one of thee most technical fighters in hw division. its his chin and lack of raw natural athletic power that keeps him from beating people like carwin and lesner.. tools dont speak on mma if you dont know mma. mir doesn't like being hit and he admits it after his win over big nog saying how he thought he was going to lose and how big nog got a insanely higher pain tolerance than him..

[amritaherbs]

@sh4nky420 yeah he's so technical he let Carwin destroy him in the clinch with bar room uppercuts. So technical that he let Lesnar lay all over him and pound his face to shit. I know MMA dumbass, from the moment Lesnar was in the ring I said the only way to beat him is "to not let him be on top" and for someone to "not be afraid to swing with him". Fortunately Velasquez has a brain much like myself.

So go fuck yourself shanky. Smoke another bowl while I go work my heavy bag.

[amritaherbs]

@sh4nky420 Once again, it's not a lack of jaw or talent that keeps him from winning, it's the delusion that his "jiujitsu is so good" he thought he could lay on his back and catch Lesnar with something fancy. It's his delusion that led him to say "I hit so hard now I have to wrap my hands and I never used to before" then you get to watch him fight a not so prime Cro Cop into the final rounds of their bout (what happened to that KO power?). It's his delusion that makes him a lazy fighter.

[Super007steve]

@sh4nky420 do you trane ufc?

[wuddupcuzz]

stupid roosky haha

[hvapwns]

@wuddupcuzz hes from belarus, diff country

[TheIrishfighter23]

THIS IS SPARTA ! ! ! ! !

[tryanjohnson]

Andrei should have been in 300.

[Bl1theMidget]

when he has the headband on he looks like solid snake

[ageslave]

@Bl1theMidget omg do ur totally right

[LadyKR82]

The only person who beats Andrei is Andrei. In the Fedor fight, he didn't listen to his trainers/coaches...and he lost because of it, IMO.

[shaun0069]

He needs to take fights to the ground..Getting Ko'd so many times cant be good for the brain..

[madPop511]

andrei is a good striker and he has a body like one but he makes retard decisions, like the flyingknee against fedor, he got KOed airbourne.

[SUBIESAMURAI07]

1:23 the flying knee is legal freddie but not against fedor. against him its illegal

[austind12293]

arlovski talks like fucking NICO BELLIC hahahaha

[rolfeder]

MILOSCH!

[jdgunera]

He is a cross between Leonidas and Solid Snake!! The best from both worlds!! Too bad he is on a 2 fight losing streak...but hey if its Fedor and Brett Rogers...i respect the man!

[myleskubicek]

he is a cross between leonidas and ovechkin

[SUBIESAMURAI07]

how in godsake can this man lose against fattbrett rogers man

[betterthansex123]

brett's a beast. His only loss is to fedor and its fuckin fedor. Mad potential.

[kuklinskills]

@betterthansex123

his only loss is to fedor? are you serious?

[infoexcavator]

Well, he has a mediocre chin, some would say that even terrible chin. Also, he is not be very consistent, maybe has some problems with the mind games.

[rydogallagher]

mediocre chin? u talk shit m8, Arlovski is the fukin man!!!! everybody gets dropped at 1 point and thats just the sport but he's a born champ fighter is defo 1 of the worlds best ever fighters

[rrtodd95]

Lennox Lewis had a glass chin but he's going to go down as one of the greatest heavyweights of all time.

His secret was that he learned to fight around his weakness.

As soon as AA learns his style his going to come back strong.

[PanKrato]

Andrei has a TERRIBLE chin.

His first fight ever was a KO - He was out COLD.

So what? He's still a great fighter, but he needs to realize his own weakness.

[lilsm555]

@PanKrato even though he might not have the best chin who does against people with 1 hit knockout power very few can recover

[por4atko]

Andrei Arlovski is Belorussian. I'm from Bulgaria and that's a fact I know. Plus in Bulgaria we don't have family names like Arlovski.

[metalhead1118]

I want a fedor/arlovski rematch.

That KO was a one in a million hit, not to say fedor's a bad fighter. But he's better competition than people like Rogers

[FunkInMyTrunk]

he has a cool mouthguard... at first i thot it was his real teeth lol

[tristanv1]

The best beard in MMA. hell the best beard in sports.

[kcborg]

@tristanv1 Have you not seen Evan Tanner?

[seith48]

@tristanv1 haha rite kimbos 2nd

[Cepical]

@tristanv1 Agreed, Chuck Norris is retired

[Kill3rKin3]

SNAAAAAAKEE!!

[SouthernSniper74]

Once a Real Boxer taps that Chin...He will be Out... I promise you.

[U8Kamel]

fag

[popniggers]

huuuuh he has one of the best boxing coaches in the world

[somuch4peace]

i dont know why, but i like ander arlovski as a fighter, its a shame he has such a bad chin, because he could of really done well.

[EJ920]

Well he did really well didn't he?

Just not as much as he could of

[emulator900]

in russia all they so is drink vodka and get in fights

[vassilli19910666]

Yea but hes bulgarian so!

[forLOVERSears]

He's Belorussian. Not Bulgarian.

[vassilli19910666]

Yea you're right!Spelled wrong!

[nitrix6666]

bielorusko

[pieceofparadox]

He's Bulgarian...

[sumoshinobi]

he's belarusian you moron

[doranw]

vodka is for after the fight.

[dirtybruno2]

he looks like Solid Snake from MGS with the headband

[sapia1]

is he still fighting next week?

[turdbuglar]

they fought 10-4-08 I know you posted your thing ago a week ago so you might have missed it but AA won via knockout punch

[DjoleKPD]

where i can watch fight?

[tsamski]

It's going to rain punches and knees. Roy Nelson is Big, this means that he will be an easy target for Andrei. Roach is training Andrei too so you would expect that he would be relentless with his striking. Hope that there would be a good exchange though..

[thirtyaughsix]

<3 aa

[Macktube]

Arlovski Looks Like Solid Snake From Metal gear Solid In this Video.lol

Hope He Does Well.
