First NY PPV Matt Serra defending (and destroying ) Matt Hughes

Anybody want to talk politics (fox news is bad)? or should we talk MMA?

Hurry up and legalize mma in Philadelphia already!

GSP vs Penn 2 at MSG would be totally crazy even though GSP would wipe the floor with him.

Wow this would be very cool. Dana is spot on, legalize it!!! Nog vs Couture at MSG!! I think Couture aint fighting anymore apart from Fedor because he fears he might lose to Nog.

To All you Dana Haters out there, where is Monty and Gary Shaw on this? Don’t see them doing anything to get sanctioned anywhere, but they will grab the ufc and dana’s coattails and ride his work into making money.

Dana is a douchebag! you think he’s foing this for MMA… I think not he’s doing this for the ufc and himself!

“I’ll support it, but it’s not the high mark of our societal evolution,” said Assemblyman Tom Kirwan, R-Newburgh. “It’s brutal, but it’s not as brutal as boxing. Two consenting adults are going in there to fight.”

Newburgh is one of, if not the most brutal cities in America, it’s the murder capital of New York state, i think that Mr. Kirwan should remove the brutality in his city before commenting on legit prizefighting.

DA MONKEY: I believe this is what you have been looking for:

This Fedor interview will tell you everything you want to know about his brother Aleksander and what his tatoos mean….ENJOY:

You mentioned that Aleksander Emelianenko, is the world Sambo champion, and that he is far more talented than you are. Do you exaggerate?

Fedor: Not at all. I’m not a genius athlete, like many people think. My brother has a phenomenal talent. But he lacks in work ethic. That’s why I’m higher in the ratings. My brother keeps going in and out of the top 10.

Do you two spar?

Fedor: No. We live in different cities. I live in Stary Oskol, and travel all over the world. Brother settled down in Petersburg. We rarely see each other.

They say Aleksander was even in prison?

Fedor: It’s true. They gave him five years, but released him before that. Three and a half years.

He was charged with a robbery?

Fedor: There were many episodes. Don’t want to bring up the past.

Is it an accomplishment to lose 3 years and be able to return to the ring?

Fedor: No. In his case it’s far from an accomplishment. Even though 3 and a half years really held back his growth as an athlete. And in the social life Aleksander became different. Prison really made its imprint. His outlook on life has changed, and it seems, not in a good way.

You and him are totally different?

Fedor: Yes. I’m sure those things could not have happened to me. During the time when Aleksander was looking for adventures on his rear end, I killed myself training. I had a goal – to reach something in sport.

If Fedor Emelianenko is very pleasant to speak to, his brother has a scary image. You can’t just come up to him. And even Fedor, who’s related to the man calls him only “Aleksander” In Russian Aleksander is an official name, and you usually wouldn’t call your brother like that. Sasha, or some other nickname is usually used to call someone close.

One time, Emelianenko junior shed the light on his tattoos in an interview, most of which he got as a reminder of places not so far away.

Fedor: Every tattoo has a place – he said – On my right arm I have a Church with 5 bells. Each bell is for a year of incarceration. Stars on the shoulders mean that the man lives according to his own principles. Stars on the knees say “I will never kneel”. Another tattoo, pirate, stands for article 167 of criminal law – robbery. I have many more tattoos on my body: Writing in Latin reads “Luck looks upon the Brave”, and in German “God with us”. Below the elbow – a head, half cat half human skull. It means: A man is a wolf to another man. This phrase is one of my principles. A web on the shoulder. God’s mother on my back, aphorisms on my feet.

GSP vs Penn 2 would be wicked crazy at the MSG. Penn would destroy GSP.(if Serra doesn’t do it first)I’d like to see a Penn vs Serra 2.

To add to that…MSG would be a huge step in MMA. I hope to see a UFC event there by the end of the year.

I support the legalization of MMA and marijuana.

how you like Tom Kirwan’s quote? – what a lowlife, no backbone having, scumbag politician. “i’ll support it (for the money) but it’s brutal”. I can’t stand people who don’t stick by their convictions.

WHAT THE FUUUCCCKKK? Why is Dana not trying to get the UFC to come to Atlanta?? Its only one of the biggest and most well known citys in The United States. It would definately be a sellout!!

NEW YOORRRKK – can’t wait for this.. we should def have an UFC or WEC event on LONG ISLAND at the jones beach theatre which is outside. Thats HOT! TTTTTTTTTTTSSSSSsssssssss

GSP would not get beaten by Penn. GSP is the future and the now, Penn is already past it.

wow, that picture makes the area around the garden look really nice. It’s an expensive neighborhood but i’ve worked around there and it just is not that pretty.

its pretty pretty though

i hope gsp beats serra & penn beats sherk. gsp vs. bj would be a frickin good fight to see again. i can see bj holding 2 titles simotaneously.

All i have to say is please please please bring a UFC to Syracuse…. This city needs a revenue boost and I need a short drive to an event… Its a Win Win for everyone (by everyone I mean ME MYSELF and I)

MSG? Well considering that I live 10 blocks from the Garden this would be very nice. It would beat going to the MGM in Vegas.

how do you say “i wine alot” in british?? oh yea.. “aye em eh pussy!”

but at least he has all his teeth

Its good for all MMA if they can get NY opened up. Not a lot of the other Orgs are going to be able to sell out MSG. Eveyone will benefit from this but mostly the fans.

The UFC could sell out MSG next year. THey would make a stellar card, that would include tons of locals from the NY/NJ Region. It wouldnt be like the card thay make for the Newark show. Maybe Serra, Sell(undercard), Almeida, Edgar, and match them up with big names and the Garden would be rocking. Plus they would do so much advertising and bring tons of attention to the casual MMA fans. Big billboards in Times Square and down the WestSide Highway. So much money, Dana would bathe his bald self in it.

i cant wait for ufc to come to new york my neck of the woods im so pumped but it better not be a bullshit card like that jersey card
