Also, it was not a devastating KO as Big Country prob could have continued. If AA gets in there with Fedor, he'll get destroyed. Listen, AA lost to Tim Sylvia twice. I know you cant compare fighters' common opponents, but he lost twice. I thought the stand up was premature by the referee for sure.

Since his Tim fights Andre has slowed to his opponenets pace and just rides the fight until his opponents make a mistake. Its a little sad although I'll never complain when I get to see a fight with him in it. Quite frankly though I think they need to seriously step his competition back up and give him some good fights. If he took on Barnett or Fedor he'd step up and we'd see an exciting fight regardless of the outcome.

The main event will be Lawler/Villasenior. I REALLY think that Diaz/Alrvarez deserves to be the main event. They are both Main Event worthy fighers on thier own. Joey Villsenior used to be able to carry a King of the Cage show, but not an EliteXC show. Actually, from what I’m hearing, Diaz/Alvarez will not be the main event.

When Fedor does return, it will be a PPV. Also, I highly, highly, highly doubt that we would get to see Fedor fight on a free EliteXC card. When Fedor does return, it will be a PPV.
