Arlovski v O'Brien
just watched this online
the first round was pretty poor. o'brien kept going for the takedown and arlovski did a nice job of sprawling but other than that, bairly threw any strikes and didnt even attempt to take advantage of a few guillotines that o'brien seemed to be gifting him
the second round was more of the same except for this time arlovski got a nice takedown into mount. but then what happened after that was just bizarre. arlovski threw these constant light handed punches side to side, and o'brien was getting hit, but not overly hurt, and then arlovski looked at the ref and he decided to stop the fight. that was one of the softest stoppages ive ever seen
ultimately i liked that o'brien tried to push the fight somewhat but im not sure he quite has the skills yet. and arlovksi showed that he's athletic but mentally is just nowhere near in the right place to be competing at the top level in the UFC
