Fedor Emelianenko, the Russian who's widely regarded as the best heavyweight in mixed martial arts, lived up to his reputation tonight with a victory over Tim Sylvia at the Affliction: Banned show in Anaheim.

Emelianenko took just 36 seconds to knock Sylvia down with a series of powerful strikes, take his back and force him to tap out with a rear-naked choke. Fedor absolutely destroyed the much bigger Sylvia -- it was a dominant performance.

The Affliction show was hyped as the best heavyweight card in the history of mixed martial arts, and it had some big knockouts, including Josh Barnett stopping Pedro Rizzo with a brutal left hook, and Andrei Arlovski knocking out Ben Rothwell with a powerful combination.

Other results on the Affliction card: Renato "Babalu" Sobral beat Mike Whitehead, Matt Lindland beat Fabio Nascimento, Paul Buentello beat Gary Goodridge, Vitor Belfort beat Terry Martin and Antonio Rogerio Nogueria beat Edwin DeWees.

TweetThere is nothing to it. Fedor hit Tim about 5 times took him down, got his back, and choked him out.

TweetThe talk is that Fedor fights Arlovski in Oct, a Japanese guy in Dec., and Josh Barnett in March...something like that.

yeah, Affliction announced the next show (YAWWWN) is going to be headlined by BArnett and Arlovski... serious downgrade from the last one... I knew they wouldnt be able to keep up with the calibre of talent the last show had.. not to mention there is already talks of serious pay cuts for the fighters...

TweetFedor hurt his hand again so that is why he is not fighting Arlovski. Lindland is fighting Belfort on that card as well...that will be a good fight. Many say that Lindland is the best MW and could beat Silva if Dana would sign him to the UFC...but Dana and Lindland have had problems in the past.
