The hatred between Fedor and Barnett is pretty ugly to see. Hopefully someone steps between these two at the weigh-ins for their fight, because there could be a scene and the police might have to get involved.

As the #1 Fedor cocksucker in the world, Barnett scares me! I always thought he had the best shot at beating Fedor…as the fight nears, Im starting to worry. Josh is no slouch. he is Heavier, a better wrestler, and very under rated submission grappler…..Its not going to be easy for Fedor to submit Barnett…He sure as hell isnt going to get armbared. Fedor will have to unleash his ground n pound if he wants to win this fight…which is great news. Its about time the AMERICAN public got an introduction to the most Brutal and Devestating ground n pound assault that the sport has ever seen!
Should be a great fight! People need to start respecting Barnett’s skills!

I know Barnett is one of the top HWs in the world, but he’s just never looked GREAT to me. I hope Fedor trains hard for him though, and smashes the crap out of him.

I’m going with Fedor cause he’s a better ground fighter/grappler than barnett. Fedor’s translator sounded as if he was going to say ’’UFC’’ instead of saying “US” at the 1:08 mark cause he somehow stuttered a bit as to correct himeself. I might be wrong but that’s what went through my head when i saw this interview live on showtime. Dana White supposedly has a huge announcement coming soon that will ‘’change the world of mma’‘. I think it’s about sanctioning mma but it could be about signing Fedor. He did say he would someday have Fedor. I know this is Fedor’s last fight with affliction. Fedor did say he enjoys working with affliction, but that does not mean you are staying. Affliction may collapse like Elite xc as well. If affliction collapses then all affliction fighters will sign with strikeforce, ufc, go to japan, or just sign with the other small organizations. I don’t see them going to the ufc cause that’s where they came from.

I have to admit to jumping on the Fedor bandwagon. How can you not love (not even like) that guy? I always said that one of the most important attributes to have if you want to be successful in anything is calmness. An ability to stay calm and focused, not only under pressure but when others try to anger you or make you lose focus. Fedor has that ability in spades plus he is so classy in every single interview he gives. He never talks trash, always pays respect to his opponents and gives creit to God. It’s to the point where even I don’t ever want to see the guy lose regardless of if he fights in the UFC or not. And I am as big a UFC and Dana White nuthugger as there is.

at the 1:08 mark it sounds like Fedor’s translator was about to say "UFC’’ instead of “US” cause he stuttered a bit. Am i wrong?

i caught that too, the more notorious he gets here in the states, the more presure he’s gonna get to join the ufc.

We all know Fedors translator sucks, Here is the real translation…
by Il Nino on Jun 7, 2009 1:28 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
At the end, the translator quotes Fedor as saying “it will be in God’s hands.” I wonder if Fedor really said, “It will be in my hands.” (I just had to say that for all the Fedor worshipers.)
Earlier, according to the translator, he says Andre used the wrong technique. Again, what I think Fedor really said was: “Blocking punches with your chin is not a good strategy.”
