Fedor is awesome

If you don't know the person to whom I'm referring, you're not a serious MMA fan.

Fedor Emelianenko is the best heavyweight MMA fighter in the world, as he proved again last night in his fight against Andrei Arlovski. I'm going to watch the fight again in a few minutes, because it's interesting to see Fedor actually thrown off his game for a few minutes--until he knocks out Arlovski with a single punch. He doesn't have a ripped body, and if you're not watching closely he often doesn't appear to be all that fast, but of course he's deadly quick and insanely powerful, as his opponents usually learn the hard way.

He's won 26 consecutive MMA bouts, which is an amazing streak made all the more astonishing by the fact that many of those fights have been against some of the best in the world.

Like many, I was wondering if Fedor's time off had left him rusty, and then in his previous fight he beat Tim Sylvia in no time at all. Last night, he polished off Arlovski in less than four minutes.

Amazing.
