Round 3: The two locked up in the corner and the fans started booing, being a little spoiled from the first two rounds. Arlovski escaped and landed another flurry of hard shots and Rothwell is out! Great fight.
Winner via KO in Round 3: Andrei Arlovski
Michael Buffer acknowledged Steve Austin, The Undertaker, Rob Schneider, Manny Ramirez, Korn, Don Johnson, Randy Couture (big pop), Tito Ortiz (who got booes), Jenna Jameson and Donald Trump.
Megadeth performed again.
Fedor Emelianenko (27-1-0) vs. Tim Sylvia (24-4-0)
Michael Buffer did his usual main event fight shtick, which means the intro itself is 10 minutes.
During the referee instructions, neither fighter looked the other in the eye.
Round 1: Fedor nailed Sylvia right off the bat and nailed Sylvia with a flurry of punches and knocked Sylvia to the ground, it looks like it could be over any second. He hooked in a rear naked choke and Sylvia tapped, it's over in 36 seconds!
Winner via submission (rear naked choke) in 0:36 in Round 1
After the fight John McCarthy asked Fedor who he would most like to fight next and Fedor said Randy Couture and the crowd erupted at that. Couture was about 10 feet behind Fedor at this point. Couture shook hands with Fedor after and McCarthy asked him if he'd like to fight Fedor. Couture said "absolutely", if he gets his legal problems with UFC resolved. Wherever Couture's legal problems with UFC stand, this isn't going to help. The sight of Fedor and Couture with John McCarthy interviewing them and Donald Trump standing behind them should get some play tomorrow.
