Arlovski deserves wayyy more respect than he gets. This man has been fighting since 1999 and he's still UFC level.

This Robert Alexander guy must be either intelectually disabled or blind.

Taking over the torch from Sal D'Amato.

These judges are all trash. They need to be questioned in detail during the media conferences. And publicly humiliated.

Frankly *I* don't know how MMA is scored. I admit I came into MMA through boxing, but judges really don't like boxers sticking and moving. They act like plodding forward is octagon control.

Since I've become more and more knowledgeable about MMA over the past several years, I find myself less and less interested in the commentary. I wish they'd give us the option to mute the commentators and just listen to the fight.

Arlovski has to hold a record for the most wins after absolutely mediocre performance. It's actually impressive in some ****** up way.

More significant strikes for Vanderaa in the second. I am glad Arlovski won, but him being the bigger name might have helped him. It would not be a robbery either way,

Vandeera did not win round 2.

Please go away and learn how MMA is scored by yourself, in the corner, quietly.

Don't give him the fight based on the BS stats they spam.  I don't believe those for a second, especially in that fight.
