Morning Report: With tears in his eyes, Andrei Arlovski says knocking out Travis Browne 'felt like punching my mother or father'

Following a brutal first round opposite friend and former training partner Travis Browne at UFC 187, Andrei Arlovski has some complicated feelings on his TKO win.

"Of course it's nice to have a victory, but deep inside ... bad feelings," Arlovski said this week on his live chat. "I feel like it's exactly what I said, like I punched my mother or father ... my brother. Victory is victory, of course. I'm happy I made some money. Hopefully it's the first and last time I fight my friend."

Literally crying, Arlovski explained his brief post-fight interaction with Browne.
