I won't spoil the ending for anyone, but it was quite amazing.

Watched the recording of this yesterday (Day of Reckoning.) He's a top fighter for sure, but i still think he needs to go to the UFC. Arlovski is a glass jaw fighter. He got found out in the UFC and although a very quick and strong puncher, he isn't that great anymore. Same with Sylvia and Josh Barnett. They're all UFC has beens that cant cut it at the highest order anymore. Fedor should be in the UFC fighting the best heavyweights in the world, not the former best heavyweights of the UFC.
I was really impressed with Frank Mir against Nogeira (sp?) in his last fight. I'd like to see Mir win the title now and see Fedor join UFC. I think that could be a great fight, Fedor vs Mir. Brock Lesner will be great in a couple of years too. And although Fedor has to be considered the best heavyweight in MMA, i'd like him to prove it in the biggest MMA company in the world.

I don't really agree with your assessment of the UFC heavyweight division.
Arlovski and Silvia are has beens that never really were in actual fact, by this I mean they only rose to the top because of the weakness of the Heavyweight division in the UFC.
Had either been active on the Pride scene at the time I doubt they would have been successful (my opinion of course)
Josh BArnet also, I think it is unfair to suggest he can not cut it in the UFC. What reason is there to suggest he is a has been? He had issues with failed drug tests but he has been a top 5 mma heavyweight for a long time now (not that I am a fan or him or remotely enjoy his fighting style)
I think Brock is still hype, he could not hang with Fedor at this time no way. He is too wet behind the ears, awesome power no doubt, great wrestling skills for sure but look how easily he was made to tap by Mir, image what Fedor would do to him (my opinion is Brock doesn't last a round with Fedor)
The rest of the UFC heavyweight division....who does Fedor really have to prove something against? He beat Big Nog twice already, Mir ok so basically he could come to the UFC and fight Mir and Brock...would be nice to see, but I really doubt the contractial issues will ever be sorted and I also doubt either mir or Brock would offer much resistance to Fedor at this stage in their respective careers.
I'm looking forward to see what Overeem can do in the UFC (as and when he actually signs) I really hope Brock loses his title soon too, I know he has skills but he has too much of the Kimbo Slice effect about him for my liking (i.e. much of his success has been based on appeal from previous endeavours, by this I'm saying why did he get a title shot before Mir then man who tapped him?)
