People do not realise that although Arlovski was clearly getting the better out of the exchanges you could tell Fedor was trying to set something up. Commentators say it all the time: Fedor's biggest asset is that he is able to adapt to your fighting style and STILL whoop your ass. Emilianenko was in a worst position defensively in many other fights and always seems to come out of nowhere, in the last minute. Well, that nowhere is really a bluff that lures all these ego crackheads to drop their guards and get careless. People like Fedor have a sixth gear and they only engage it when need be. Honestly? I don't think he even got to 5th (gear) last night with Arlovski. That's one of the things that separate champions from contenders: The ability to adapt to a fight, control it and finally win it.
Fighting with champions is like a human fighting with a black mamba: 10 times out of 10 you will be able to kicks its ass, but if she bites you... Well, can you claim you won the "fight"?
