JOHN, are you going to 101 or not? You are the only guy out of 18 that hasn’t paid! You said you’d pay on the 15th. You’ve mentioned cheese steaks, strip clubs and brazilian steak houses, but won’t return emails or texts! I know you got stuff going on, but putting this together has been stressful! I’m ordering final tickets tomorrow! Please get back at me buddy, I was not only looking forward to meeting you, but hanging out and talking mma! When the event was announced in Philly, you were on here saying “me and Kev are putting this together” now I’m still waiting on you! let me know one way or the other.! Anyone else and I wouldn’t have waited this long!

I think anyone here would fight Fedor for 1 million dollars. I would. 8-)

Sh!t, I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re offering damn near a million for someone to take the fight on 10 days notice with the jam they’re in.

their not or rogers would already be in. he wants timmy money!

by kevin on Jul 23, 2009 6:38 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Rogers has no say so. Strikeforce has to approve who he fights for and they will not release him to fight. Which sucks because Affliction let them use Arlovski. I am betting they are saving him to fight Werdum on thier next event

by Lance2576 on Jul 23, 2009 9:06 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

I’d do it for half of that in a heartbeat.

by Syd[a.k.a."The Negation"] on Jul 23, 2009 11:01 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

I’d do it for 50,000.

Just shoot in, get guillotined, tap and leave. I’d just make sure I’d run like Jose Canseco for a bit so I’d last longer than Tim Sylvia did.

by DirtyML on Jul 23, 2009 7:56 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

same here…i’d shoot right in and tap faster than bo cantrell did against kimbo….that bastard was tapping on his way down before he was even touched…

you know what, fuck it…for a million bucks id run right at him and throw an arlovski flying knee and get laid the fuck out…i look at the stats and see that fedor has 30 fights but only like 7 (t)kos…probably the worst tko percentage ever in history of mma for someone with 30 or more fights…so i think i could keep from getting my face disfigured from a strike before i tapped…and then run out with my million dollar check…

that is crazy to look at that stat and see that hes only finished like 7 fights by strikes…that has got to be the worst percentage in the history of mma for someone with 30 or more fights…look it up yourself

by HellaHectic on Jul 23, 2009 8:50 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

maybe you should look 2see how many people your boy bisping has finished by ko or tko. now there is a boy that can’t finish a fight w/out eating a hendo knucklesammich!

scratches head and tries to figure out what bisping has to do with me taking a million bucks to let fedor kick my ass

by HellaHectic on Jul 24, 2009 12:50 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

For a million I would last longer than Big Timmy’s 38 seconds.

buttcrack….

Just looked it up, he finished 11 of his 17 wins by (t)ko. What were you trying to prove by that? How much of an idiot you are? Well you did a good job.

He’s finished 11 of his 17 wins by (t)ko. 5 by submission and only 1 decision. What were you trying to prove by that? How little you know about MMA?

Nice game plan. Greg Jackson would be proud.

by Syd[a.k.a."The Negation"] on Jul 23, 2009 11:01 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

dude i’d fight him for a quarter of that; i’d kick him in the groin and get warned several times; each time i’d bow and apologize; then i’d accidentally thumb him in his eye a few times, again, bow and apologize to him and the crowd; touch gloves and keep going; then i’ll throw an arlovski flying knee while doing the double punch thing that Seikimoto did in Dream 10 – he’d never expect that; then some good ol sambo to finish him off…

by miggz3000 on Jul 24, 2009 3:52 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Lol my thoughts exactly!! You have to start with the groin kick!! lmao

by Dragon on Jul 24, 2009 8:22 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

I’d go for a wedgie, a groin kick would just make him angry!

Has anyone ever tapped from a purple nurple, also known as a Texas titty twister?

I think you’ve found Fedors achilles heel pw!

by attakdog on Jul 24, 2009 11:20 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

i’d do it for a lot less. i have a really good front groin kick.

by warwagon on Jul 23, 2009 8:53 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Seems less cocky, almost unsure of himself now a days; wonder where his heads at, does Vera still believe he can be a top 10 fighter at 205??

by O damn he got caught on Jul 23, 2009 6:18 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

Last I heard he said he was going to go back to what he did in the beginning and just start hurting people and kicking a$$es again. I think I even heard he may lift a few weights. I just want him to get some of that old swagger back.

by BNF on Jul 23, 2009 6:26 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Vera needs to improve his strength. His skills are sound, but he hasn’t looked particularly strong or fit since his drop to 205. If he ups his strength, I believe he can still be a factor.

by CL on Jul 23, 2009 6:35 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

he looks too weak to move well…

by RoB on Jul 23, 2009 7:48 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

What you talking about RoBerto…Vera’s “too weak to move well” at 205?

by Alpha Male 360 on Jul 23, 2009 7:51 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

he’s still one of the most talented guys in the UFC…
He would have killed Chuck Liddell if they fought when Vera was at his best!

by RoB on Jul 23, 2009 8:05 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

yea, it looks that way.. his footwork isn’t what it used to be

by RoB on Jul 23, 2009 8:06 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

I thought he was looking good against Patt!The Jardine fight was b/c he didn’t followed the game plan again!

by Alpha Male 360 on Jul 23, 2009 8:13 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Vera better finish the Polish dude in dominating fasion so he could climb an extra few rungs up the ladder. Do me proud, Truth!!

by Syd[a.k.a."The Negation"] on Jul 23, 2009 11:03 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

As soon as Vera was in a tough fight with the elite fighters in the UFC, he mentally checked out, even to the point I’d say he was scared of his opponent.

by DAVE A on Jul 24, 2009 12:43 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

I think Kryz..uh um… is to rough for Vera, Vera will fold when the pressure is on.

by DAVE A on Jul 24, 2009 1:02 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

can kryztof get this to the ground and avoid those knees and kicksis the big question? He hasnt faced a striker like vera and will be an execellent test to see where he stacks up in the lhw division……
PS the idiot who said vera would destroy chuck…. you wouldnt have said that 2 years ago when he seemed unbeatable

by Colin on Jul 24, 2009 1:59 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Vera is gonna dominate him on the ground and on the feet, Soszynski ain’t gonna take Vera to the ground if anything Vera will be the one to take him down!…
Soszynski’s standup is not that good at all, he knows how to punch but he has no technique at all he’s just a brawler…

by RoB on Jul 24, 2009 8:56 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

alpha, you’re right but i don’t care if fighters win or lose, some ppl will say that they looked good just because they won via KO/TKO or submission..
I care more about the performance and yes he looked good against Patt and i also thought he should have had the decision against Jardine cause he won that fight!..
like to see him be lighter on his feet again and throw some leather and knees not just kicks

by RoB on Jul 24, 2009 9:00 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

I don’t think Vera ever is a top 5er in lhw or ever a #1 contender, or even involved in a fight where the winner is #1 contender. I don’t too much care for krystoff either but I do hope he wins cuz then maybe Vera and his horrid post win celebration may go away. He looks like that lil 2 voiced monster from lord of rings when he does that. Sorry never watched the movies don’t kno his name, but he did a funny speech acceptance @ MTV awards few years back,
ANYWAYS : war krystoff lol

do yourself a favour and watch the movies, why would you chhose to watch the mtv awards and not lord of the rings

by paniczoo on Jul 23, 2009 9:59 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

I am actually really looking forward to Vera vs Soszynski, I think Krysztof will be a great opponent for Vera and will push forward right into Vera’s leg kick.

I hope Szcozsyscinski smashes Vera.

Vera is one of the most overrated fighters there is, right behind A Silva and B Rogers.

by Lester The Pimp on Jul 23, 2009 8:48 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

He’s only top 20 just in the UFC right now, not close to top 10. How is that overrated?

by PW on Jul 23, 2009 9:15 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Dang right! And is A Silv overrated? HEll no!

by Syd[a.k.a."The Negation"] on Jul 23, 2009 11:20 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

I am confused by all of you who say that Vera is overrated. He was a undersized heavyweight who kicked ass – He had a long lay off, dropped down, and he is now getting back to where he should be (sounds familiar to the guy he beat in the heavy weight division who just fought for the title). He is going to completely outclass Szcozsyscinski. There is absolutley no question about it!

by paddy boy on Jul 23, 2009 9:21 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

I agree, he’s on his way.

by RoJ on Jul 24, 2009 12:54 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Hella hectic what are you talking about? Fedor only has 7 t(ko)? Lowest in mma history for a person with that many fights? Look it up? For what there is probs 25-30% easy that have lower then that after 30 fights. Monson, Hughes, immediately come to mind. And even if a person isn’t at 30 yet, if there at 15 with 3 or 4 then there on the same pace. Useless post from you there fella.
