UFC, etc.

[bumblebee]

I can't wait to see Machida's come back fights....he'll have the burden of an undefeated record off his shoulders.

Any idea who he'll fight next? Rampage/Evans, Randy Couture, Jon Jones, Forrest Griffin?

I think he will fight and destroy Forrest. The rest all have fights coming up save Forrest, so that makes the most sense.

 

[Devil_666]

But the UFC HW's need to build some prestige. They need a dominate HW before Fedor gets there. And Lesnar isn't it.

Yeah cuz Fedor has been fighting some really dominant HW's lately. Right?



Let's see.. Tim Sylvia, yeah he was coming off a submission loss to Big Nog before fighting Fedor. Dominant!?

Oh and Arlovski was on a 5 fight win streak.. against ALL unranked fighters. Last RANKED fighter he fought was Sylvia and it resulted in back-to-back losses. Dominant!?

Who else? Brett Rogers.. one Top Ten Win: Arlovski. Before that, ALL unranked cans. Dominant!?

Werdum?
After his embarassing KO loss to JDS he fought 2 unranked HW's. Now he's fighting Fedor. Dominant!?

Not to mention all the other cans Fedor has fought like Choi, Lindland, Hunt, Zulu, etc. NONE of them were "Dominant HW's" in MMA. But he had no problems fighting them. Bottomline, Fedor will toil away in Strikefarce fighting low to un-ranked HW's while all the top ranked HW's continue to fight each other in the UFC. And of course, when two fighters meet ONE has to lose. And those losses will fuel the "See, he's not worthy he just lost to so-and-so" excuses that Fedor, M-1 and Fedor fans will use to justify him NOT fighting in the UFC. It's a joke.

I still crack up at people who actually believe Fedor's decision to fight in Bodog, Afflicition and Strikeforce as opposed to the UFC was "great". hahahahahaha. Utter denial and complete dellusion.

I can`t wait to see people`s reactions after Fedor`s first fight in UFC if he ever get to ufc,if he wins,alot of people will call him the best fighter in the world and tell the haters they told them so.The Haters will go the complete opposite way if he loose...

I'm sure it'll be a cluster____.

Machida is still great. He just got caught, it happens. He will be back and be on top of the LHW division.

Yeah.. he's still #2 LHW in the world. How is that something to be ashamed of!?

Great breakdown on how inflated Fedor's record really is. lol

Yeah, fedor fans are just ignorant people who like to wear tapout shirts and feel like they are badass. Who the hell would fight in Bodog rather than the UFC? Its like A Rod deciding to fight in the minor leagues. It doesnt make any sense.

Guys like Shogun have come over from Pride to the UFC to fight top ranked guys, not fighters were people say "how the hell is that?".

 

[316what]

Yeah, fedor fans are just ignorant people who like to wear tapout shirts and feel like they are badass.

Don't you mean RVCA shirts?

 

[Devil_666]

I feel sorry for Scott Coker.

To be very honest, the situation with Fedor (Emelianenko) is that he's fighting June 26. Of course, we'll have to wait and see what happens. Alistair (Overeem) has told me many times he would love to fight Fedor. He has called Fedor out in Japan when he fights in Japan all the time. He's looking forward to taking the fight. That's going to be something where we'll have to sit down with him (Fedor) after the June 26 fight. Like I said, you can't count Fabricio out.

Coker and Strikeforce can't just say "If Fedor wins June 26 he's definitely fighting Overeem next. Guaranteed" like every other promotion. Instead, it's "we'll have to wait and see what happens" i.e. they have to run it by Fedor and M-1 Global and get approval first. Pathetic.

 

[kobayashi93]

Yeah, fedor fans are just ignorant people who like to wear tapout shirts and feel like they are badass.

That's 90% of MMA fans in general, it's not exclusive to Fedor fans. The other 10% dress like adults should, and run their mouths on message boards.

 

[hairlesswookiee]

Hey I like my RVCA Fedor shirt. I just know better than to swear he's the best fighter ever.

 

[kobayashi93]

I didn't say anything about RVCA.

 

[Devil_666]

Not all Fedor fans are douchebags. The majority are normal folks who just enjoy watching the dude fight. It's just a certain few.. you know the guys who claim he's a Terminator and "teh greatest EVA!1!!!".

 

[daikkenaurora]

hahaha yeah.

I know. nothing wrong with the shirts its just these A-holes feel like they are MMA fighters since they have an MMA shirt. I've seen plenty of guys wearing an Affliction shirt act like they were the toughest thing on earth. Happens with Football jerseys as well.

 

[azurepred]

Jones vs Machida = Great Fight.

I think machida vs Rampage/Evans makes more sense than Shogun vs Rampage/Evans.

I want to see Anderson Silva vs Shogun.

I think Machida will fight the loser of Rampage/Evans, and I think if Jones wins his next two fights, whoever its against, give him a shot at the title. I think Bader deserves a big step up in competition as well. You cant really tell how great Bader and Jones are if you dont give them high competition.

 

[Devil_666]

Jones turned down lil nog (when Griffen pulled out). Granted it's because he would've only had a month to prepare. I agree with Machida unless the loser is Rashad. That rematch would be better if both guys were on a win streak imo.

 

[ArmoredFoe]

...hmm yeah Machida will be back no problem. I think Shogun just knew what he needed to do coming from the first time they fought. He had the first fight won, he just needed to prove it and come out even more aggressive which he did and won in impressive fashion. As already noted its really going to come down to Quinton and Rashad, the winner of that. Then again its really up to Dana and whatever him and Joe Silva decide to do.

As for the Strikeforce event, while sure its no UFC, but they were some decent fights. As far as people saying they didnt know half the fighters, then you either hvent watched that much MMA or havent been around the sport long enough. I was so hoping Brett would pull off the win, but I could see he easily was no match for Overeem. I think it was Overeems kicks that were throwing him off and the lack of ground game on Bretts part that didnt allow him to move and in turn taking an ass beating. Regardless if Overeem was hitting to the side or the back of the head, Brett couldnt even get up regardless.

 

[hairlesswookiee]

As far as people saying they didnt know half the fighters, then you either hvent watched that much MMA or havent been around the sport long enough.

That's a negative to both parts of that statement. I've been watching UFC, Pride, and K1 for many years now. Keeping up with all the fighters is like trying to keep up with NCAA lineups. I don't watch Strikeforce because IMO its the equivalent UFC and WCW making a baby. Sure, there are good fighters in Strikeforce but for the most part it seems like many of the fighters are rookies trying to make it to the big-leagues.

 

[NASEDO]

Overeem looked good last night, I wonder how he would do in the UFC? Again the UFC HW's are still a mystery to me. The UFC is great at hyping their fighters. Hopefully Carwin KO's Lesnar. The Nelson v Dos Santos fight is interesting. I like Dos Santos, I think he may be the best of the bunch, it will be nice when its all sorted out.

 

[kobayashi93]

Antwain Britt was the only guy on the Strikeforce main card I've never heard of. All of the winners are very promising prospects, and I'm sure the UFC has been paying attention to them of a while now.

 

[NASEDO]

I dont understand how you can like one and not the other. A fight is a fight. Its MMA. Alot of people, it seems love the UFC and thats it. Makes no sense. Yeah, the UFC is a better promotion. They have alot of good fighters, alot came from PRIDE, but are the UFC fighters the absolute best? You don't no until they get in the ring. Fedor beats all the UFC HW's, we know that. Lesnar, I don't even think he knows how to do an armbar. We been thru that. Can Nick Diaz beat GSP, Serra did it.

I just dont understand all the hate with anything non-UFC. If it weren't for PRIDE the UFC wouldn't have all these great fighters. Different Organizations are good for the sport. It gives fighters another option to become fighters. Alot of UFC fighters are cut after losing. In Pride it was how you fought. You would get the yellow card for "Lay n Pray", they gave fighters a chance to become good. I welcome all MMA.

There are also people who dont watch UFC because they hate the organization or Dana. Its just silly. I watch like to watch MMA no matter who puts on the event. Bellator comes on tv from time to time and if I change the channel and see a fight, I'll stop and watch it. Pride was great. IFL was okay but I didnt really care for the team type thing. K1 is cool.

And Nick Diaz wishes in his wet dream that he could beat GSP. And I know he is on a 6 run winning streak. Is it possible, of course. Serra beat GSP and its the only thing he has done worth mentioning.

And truth be told I dont care if Fedor goes to the UFC.

 

[NASEDO]

Yeah, I would love to see GSP Ko Diaz. Make it happen Dana.

 

[kobayashi93]

If Diaz wasn't a _____ to work with, that fight would be possible. I'd love to see it.
