Fedor over Arlovski was by far my favorite.
Aldo putting a vagina on Cub’s head was so quick and brutal.

I was thinking about picking that but it just occured to me that it was more due to Arlovski’s mistake than to Fedor’s punch. If you look back at it, Fedor’s technique was pretty sloppy. Head down, eyes closed is not the way to throw a punch.
