MMA Quick Quote: Fedor will be knocked out if he fights like a man
“As far as his stand up game, we’ll kill him. If we can keep the fight standing up, if he chooses to fight us like a man, we’ll dominate him…He throws one punch after the other. He’s very predictable. He makes the same moves every time. He’s very common. His boxing game is weak. From what I can see, I think Andre’s going to be sharper. I think we’re going to knock him out.”
– World renowned boxing trainer Freddie Roach, who has been working with Andrei Arlovski over the past year or so to help him improve his striking, stirs the pot once again when he tells MMAWeekly that the “Pitbull” will do what no other competitor has done in over eight years across the span of 26 professional fights: Defeat the reigning WAMMA world heavyweight champion Fedor Emelianenko when they collide on January 24 at Affliction: “Day of Reckoning.”
