Freddie Roach, the aforementioned trainer, also happens to train Andrei Arlovski. Unfortunately Arlovski fell in line with 29 other opponents of Emelianenko and suffered a devastating knock out of his own.

Although Arlovski gave Fedor some trouble during the first round, he was unable to maintain his composure and with his only mistake of the night being the flying knee, Fedor put him face first into the Affliction mat.
