Kerr is an embarassment and Mo’s not much better for taking this fight. Kerr hang em up before you get seriously injured. Unbelievable that he was actually quite good in the early days of Pride.
That was the lamest kick I’ve ever seen, followed by one of the lamest throws and then Kerr adopted the Bob Sapp defence of just lieing there and blocking shots with his head. A joke of a main event and we’ve learned precisely zero about Mo from that fight, total waste of 25 seconds of everyones time.

Wasn’t Kerr a late replacement? Can’t blame Mo for that.

Oh yeah, I dont blame mo for that then, but still a joke of a main event.

I actually thought the first fight on the main card Ferrid Kheder vs. Daisuke Nakamura was very entertaining.

I thought the reffing sucked for this event bigtime, but is that really M1’s fault?

Maybe I wasnt expecting much from M1 but I found it entertaining. Although the biggest pop of the night for the crowd at my place was when the Space Shuttle launched.

I thought that the exhibition match between Fedor and Mousasi was hilarious. Mousasi tried to be gentle and not slam Fedor. But Fedor kept grabbing the back of Mousasi’s belt and slamming him as hard as he could to the unpadded ring floor. Mousasi could have submitted Fedor twice, with an arm bar and an oma plata, but let them both go. Fedor tapped on the oma plata, but the commentator said “he worked his way out of it”. Obviously, the results of the match were pre-arranged. I think Mousasi would give Fedor a real test if they ever fought a legitimate match. But, of course, Mousasi said that would “never happen”, because they are under the same management.

Wow. I have the same wrestling shoes as King Mo!

How come he was allowed to wear shoes? Does that mean he wasn’t allowed to kick?

Thanks for posting the videos.

“Fedor tapped on the oma plata, but the commentator said "he worked his way out of it….”

What match were you watching?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQy8NSCZw-8

Go to the 5:00 mark and watch Gegard sweep Fedor hand with his foot and Fedor put his hand back down on the mat. Is this the “tap”? lmao Nothing like two different rules for tapping…one for Fedor (never allowed to touch the mat with his hand), and one for everyone else (tap mutiple times).

I watched it again several times. Fedor raised his hand pretty high and slapped the mat once, then Mousasi let go of a pretty tight oma plata. I cannot say for sure whether Mousasi let go because Fedor tapped or because his foot slipped off. However, I hope you agree that Fedor was trying a lot harder than Mousasi and that the match was pretty funny.

“Fedor raised his hand pretty high and slapped the mat once”

Let me explain it to you one more time…

Fedor’s hand was swept by Gegard’s foot (even a blind person would see this on the vid), so Fedor lifted his hand up and placed it quickly on the mat to maintain balance…grappling has alot to do with balance.

If every fight were stopped after a fighter puts his hand down “once”…every fight would be over prematurely.

Quit the hate already.

Intro – i don’t understand why people only look at punches being thrown and the obvious results of moves instead of the setups. Those are so much more intricate and way more awesome to notice the technical skills.

Anyways my thoughts on M-1:

Ian Freeman = awesome because anyone who trashes frank mir up and down the cage = awesome.

Nice job for Sam Camplan’s wife. Bloody chick fight, i wish it would have been on Showtime so that all the queazy fans can get over it. As far as ellie, ice skills for a girl on her 1st fight, threw nice and straight punches, good knees, pummeled well, took decent shots. Still needs a ton of work but good to see more girls at 145-155 range.

That referee has almost 3 people killed. All of them injured badly. I actually caught myself screaming at the screen. The lack of a commission is an extremely dangerour proposition.

M-1 proved that they are a worthless organization in terms of quality of operations they bring from refs to judges to production value. Eric Apple was solid on commentary but Mezger was terrible.

The Voice Michael Schiavello = god of commentary

Except for two fights, all were good. Olenik got robbed. Nakamura showed what a jab is about. Nice boxing skills from him. I would have preferred to watch is hyperaggresive grappling but good to see him improve his other games. He’ll always be a solid solid fighter. Linhares throws bombs like i expected but slick sub. He needs to bail out of M1. Karl showed nice skills too and hopefully we see him in strikeforce at a small weightclass.

Grappling match was very good. Technical work on both sides. I am even more interested to see them in ADCC. Obviously fedor will do a lot better but i wonder if he can hang with everyone else. 99+Kg division has good guys this year except for Monson.

Whoever got Mark Kerr this fight needs to be killed. It was just sad and depressing business all the way through. I defended this fight coz i figured Mo would try out new skills on him like testing range, footwork, sweeps, subs, etc but takedown and smash didnt do anyone any favors.

I’m with Intro on this one, he didn’t tap. The Mo fight was a joke. AND yes the space shuttle launch was the most exciting part of the show.

Fedor didn’t tap.

Your right Intro. I watched it again and Mousasi’s foot did sweep underneath Fedor’s hand causing it to go up. Actually, I love watching Fedor fight and harbor no hatred toward him. I was just trying to point out some things in the match that seemed humorous to me.

Damn, je ne savais pas que tu pouvais parler Francais, that’s great, oui y’en a manger toute une.

Mon pere ye francophone so j’suis bilingue… pis un peut d’espagnol.

The Fedor thing I mean

hahaha mouthpiece achievement 20 gp!

LMAO….you need to brush up on your grappling education, pal.

Nah, just trying to get a rise out of you and it worked. Honestly i didnt see any tap. But it was rigged that was clear as day. Can you at least admit that? Fedor was throwing Gegard around and when Gegard went to throw or slam Fedor he was clearly easing up. Also, Gegard clearly let go of 2 subs. I know M1 doesnt want their GOLDEN BOY to look bad in any way shape or form so they had no choice but to rig this but it was really sad to see and a waste of 5 min of life.

Fokman…anything Fedor wins is “rigged” if you ask the haters. If he wins it’s “rigged for the Golden Boy”, if he loses, it’s “…….”…oh ya, he’s never lost at anything besides a “samba” match, so I guess that’s a moot point.

What’s funny is that Fedor did this exhibition, but all you here is “stupid exhibition” and “just fight already” from the haters. Like it’s Fedor’s fault that Barnett screwed up, Affliction folded, and he had to take time to negotiate a new deal with someone.

I must ask all the Fedor haters and UFC fanboys what their favourite UFC fighter’s do in between fights? Besides talk trash, do video blogs, sign a few autographs, and go deer hunting?

I for one like the fact that Fedor does stuff like this with his down time. I’d rather see him screw around in exhibitions than watch him jump out of pools, hunt deer, or talk trash in interviews to keep his name out there….but, then again I’m not a UFC fanboy.

Serious Question why isn’t Fedor fighting this month or next? He was in fighting shape and now he goes and trains again? Why not set up something quicker? I’m sick of waiting.

I know ur not calling me a UFC fanboy? Just because I recognize the fact that they have 90% of the top MMA talent in the world and I want to see the best fight the best it doesnt make me or anyone else that doesnt hate on the UFC like you do a fanboy.
Like jay said below we haters hate the fact that Fedor should be fighting the likes of Carwin, Cain, Brock, Mir, Couture and not Rogers or Werdum or Overeem or anybody else strikeforce can dig up. The FACT is he bitched out of the UFC contract for stupid shit like we saw lastnight… Give me a break with “I for one like the fact that Fedor does stuff like this with his down time.” PLEASE he wouldnt be doing shit like this if M1 didnt SUCK and needed him to draw the pathetic crowd that they drew lastnight.

“Serious Question why isn’t Fedor fighting this month or next? He was in fighting shape and now he goes and trains again? Why not set up something quicker? I’m sick of waiting.”

Strikeforce doesn’t have an event……that’s who he fights for.

Jesus, cut the guy some slack. If he signed with the UFC he wouldn’t be fighting until October earliest, either. Would you still bust his balls then?

Why no pissing and moaning about the WEC fighter’s whose show just got cancelled? Why is nobody saying that they should just fight right away, wherever and whoever? Oh ya, because they don’t have a legion of haters following their every move.

Intro, leave the Fedor haters alone, we will all be back behind him when he starts fighting the top guys in the world again. Fact of the matter is that Fedor should be in the UFC right now getting ready to fight Carwin, Cain, Lesnar, Couture, Dos Santos and all the rest of the obvious talent that the UFC employs. I am not PUMPED up to see him fight Grimm and than… Who? Who is there to get excited about? He has beaten every body that matters, the last of his fights I want to see are in the UFC. Everyone might be pissed that we aren’t going to see those fights but we are still going to watch him fight and hope he wins. I really couldn’t care less where he fights, I will pay to see it no matter who puts the fights on. But I don’t want to have to wait 2 more years to see him fight Brock(although I believe that would benefit Brock tremendously). I think we haters are just pissed off about having to wait for the eventual arrival of Fedor, because he is going to be there some day. When he goes to the UFC you will have no more reasons to hate Zuffa and perhaps start renting PPV’s?

Doesn’t matter who he beats…they’ll still hate on him, because noone can touch him.

Not his fault he’s in another class.

Yeah his own class LOL! It actually is Fedors fault for going to SF, he makes his OWN decisions right? AND his own class over there.

I like watching Fedor even tho I bust his balls now and again. BUT, watching him fight has-beens is like saying last nights Mo fight was actually relevent to his career other than stat padding.

"Brock – UFC Champ with wins over legit opponents" – Who?

Are you dense? I guess beating Herring, Couture and Mir
within a year doesn’t count as legit?

"Brett – Relative unknown with 1 win over a has-been and a bunch of nobodies." – You know him, don’t you?

I assume you agree then if that’s your response?

"Fedor – Not fought a legit contender in how many years?" – Every year of his career.

Let’s see:
2008-2009 Timmy and AA – well known that both have their best years behind them
2007 Hong-Man Choi and Lindland? Please
2006 Mark Hunt and Coleman? Wow, top of the heap there
2005 Zuluzinho LOL the guy lost to Butterbean for Crissakes
His last legit opponent was Crocop in August 05. Explain to me what legit opponents you’re talking about exactly.

You a hater, plain and simple…FACT.

I’m not a hater but I’m definitly not swinging from his berries like yourself. I hate the fact that he didn’t nut up to fight the consensus best, but took the easy fights/money instead. The Fedor backlash will continue until he fights some actual competition. To call him the best P4P at this point in time is ludicrous.
