Did he mean Fedor is overrated or Rogers? Kinda ambiguous at the end there.

He meant Fedor, he said Rogers is no joke so I bet he will try to sign him as soon as his contract is over with strikefarce.

Yeah, he was saying Fedor is overrated and that he doesn’t want to see him get knocked out by Rogers before being able to sign him for a fight with Brock. It would kinda kill the hype machine.
Oh, btw, Mania…knockout is a noun but you are using it like a verb in the title to this clip. The verb would be “knock out.”

You mean using it ‘as’ a verb not like.

haha…hatteras, he used a noun in the same way as or in the typical manner that one would normally use a verb…in other words…“like” one would normally use a verb…“like a verb.” Understand?

Im so sick of listening to all you idiots hate on GOD! Especially since when Fedor makes his UFC debut in late 2011, all the haters will be swinging from his nuts…and if they dont stop hating by then, they will when he Knocks Brocks focking head off!
I firmly believe that the Fedor story will have a fairy tale ending and he will finish out his career in the UFC. 1 day he will be inducted into the UFC hall of fame!
I cant wait to get to see the inside footage provided by a UFC countdown show featuring Fedor the god!
As Fedor’s biggest nuthugger, GRIM scares me! especially when Fedor is getting married during training camp.
I would have loved to see Grim vs. Carwin, to find out who is really a legit contender to the HW beats, Brock n the god!
Dana if you think Fedor is so over rated, why do you obsess over him? That would be a great question to ask him!
Mania/Jesse: Have you guys ever tried to get an interview with Dana? Just curious. If not, it would be really interesting, because I know some of you guys like, Adam Wagner, owuld ask the tough questions!

He didnt say “Rogers is No joke”, c’mon dude clean out ur ears.
Rogers sucks, with his bloated-ass record of cans and light heavy weights. His only fight agaisnt top-comp was aa, getting one lucky punch on aa’s weak ass chin at the begining don’t mean shit.
Rogers has a big mouth and is way too cocky, so unlikeable with 0 charisma. If I could say one thing to that “buck”, it would be, “Go back to Walmart when you belong, and change my tires, you uppity bum!!!”

i agree, fedor is a stand up guy, i wouldn’t take kindly to being called out, and i would hardly expect fedor to be the kind of guy to fall for a baited hook. fedor would ko lesnar, no doubt in my mind. honestly, i think brock would be intimidated by the stigma of fedor alone

I have no doubt that Brock would upchuck his lunch just before walking to the cage to fight Fedor…but then he’d give Fedor a war like we’ve never seen. If that fight ever happens (which I seriously doubt) it’s gonna be a frakkin CLASH OF THE TITANS. Don’t be surpised if the Octogon is reduced to a blast crater and the ref is wearing body armor.

I thought they made that pretty obvious with the little Tony Stark cameo at the end of the Hulk movie. I think Brock/Fedor parallels nicely with Hulk/Iron Man… plus Brock needs a nickname and the green paint would cover up his phallic tatoo!

You can thank Vladim Finkelchtein and the Red Mob for Fedor not being in the UFC. He is a pawn, a puppet and Vladim is pulling on the strings. Fedor will never be in the UFC as long as M1 is his represntation. Say what you will about Dana, but he is not going to let some 3 rate promotion company with 2 fighters (FEdor and Moussasi) net half of his profits for a fighter who is not well known in the USA, where Zuffa makes most of its money. M1 makes their money by raping smaller companies, who think Fedor is going to save the day. Dana has a proven business model and will not allow someone to ride his coat tails into the black. Fedor said they offered him all the money in the world and everything else he wanted, but without the co-promotion. That is never going to happen. So the only way FEdor is coming to the UFC are: #1-Fedor leaves M1, joins the UFC, and the Red Mob sell Fedors family in to slavery and prostitution, and Fedor either dies mysteriously in some back alley robbery(while cops are around the corner) or some mysterious drug overdose caused him to fall down a flight of stairs(to cover up the beating he took so they could inject him full of drugs). We are later told he was suffering from long time pain killer addiction because all of the years of fighting had left his body in shambles.
#2-Dana White and the Frettita brothers are found dead from a mysterious drug overdose. The story breaks that they were all using drugs to cover up the emotions of a violent homosexual love triangle. Dana had turned Frank against Lorenzo and Lorenzo killed them all, then gave himself the be all/end all of hotshots to end all his pain. At this point M1 comes in and saves the day, takes control of the once privately owned company by force and fear tactics. After M1 takes control Brock Lesnars newborn goes missing, he retires and goes back to the WWE and the UFC HW division becomes overun by 7 ft. tall techno raving asians, talentless 350 pound strongmen, and 180 wrestlers.
Sorry couldn’t resist. I actually did respect Fedor for a lont time until recently. But he owes me nothing so who gives a shit about what i think.

if you think for a second rogers isn’t dangerous you’re just a fool swinging from a mans nuts, rogers power is for real, and he has the ability to explode and land the bomb to put fedor out, any man can be caught at any given time sh*T happens and don’t doubt rogers at all in this fight, i also see a huge size advantage though and statistically fedor beats up the circus act and honestly could kill rogers and i think he knocks that mans headoff but don’t sleep on rogers guys he’s legit maybe not the number 7 man in the world but maybe 10?
and that’s what i think dana’s real point was here, fedor is nothing more than a stigma of invincibility and guys get psyched out fighting him, and rogers has the power to 1 punch KO any man you put in there.. kinda dana’s point there not that fedor sucks, or rogers is the best there is just that it CAN happen, hopefully not cause fedor vs werdum would be insane and i think better than barnett vs fedor

i disagree with the Stigma thing…..it would only be true if guys fought him scared but they don’t…..Nog lost 2 times to Fedor and tried his best to beat him, aa was doing great before getting knocked out….Fedor is the best heavy but sooner or later he will slow down enough to start to lose, which will only mean he is not in his prime no more. At this point he has done enough to secure his legacy in my mind…..beating Rogers and Overeem would be sweet but if not it doesn’t matter….there will not be another heavy to dominate as long as Fedor has…..I mean for the past 6 years he has been rocked one time, that is un heard of…..

I know the fighters in the tuf house this season are far from the best that we have seen but hershel your 47 and have never had an mma fight. Shut the hell up they would all whoop your ass easily and good job pulling a Tom Attencio challenging dana to a fight lol that just proves how dumb walker is.

Hershal was just wanting to compete and Dana Attacked him personally for no reason.Hershal was not wanting to be heavyweight champ of the world, he just wanting a chance to compete.. They are not gonna stick him in the cage with a top ten guy. Yes there was no reason for him to say he could beat everyone on tuff but he had every right to challenge Dana. If a man you do not know bad mouths you on the street for no reason, I hope you would stand up for yourself and challenge that man. Plus he was probably pissed and not thinking when he made his tuf comments. When you are mad, I bed you critique every word before you say them.

I said he should have not said that about the tuf guys. He probably got cought up in the moment and knows he may have to eat them words.If you have ever even met Hersharl or knew of his work then you know he is one of the most humble guys out there. He has done more pure charity than any mma person. What i mean by pure is that he didnt advertise his charity. He did most of it without caring who ever found out he was part of it or did it. He did it caused he cared not for the people to go look at that person helping people.

Exactly, stupid thing to say, as much as Fedor annoyed me by choosing M-1 co-promotion over the UFC I can understand why he wouldn’t sign for someone who calls him overrated. What is Dana trying to prove by saying things like that?

Dana speaks his mind wich is not the smartest thing do all the time but remember thats his opinion and like every opinion thats all it is there is no need to cry like spoiled school girl that was told her shoes were ugly and if Fedors any kind of man maybe he should try and prove Dana wrong.
by Beaver on Oct 3, 2009 9:42 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
The problem is that Dana tries to make himself the face of MMA. When the face of MMA acts like a prick all the time it hurts the sport. Public figures don’t have the luxury of spouting off whenever they want without consequences like we do. He should have some tact and common sense.

By what I see he has helped the sport in this country more than anyone infact there are a lot of states that would probally not have MMA allowed in thenm if it wasn’t for Dana and the UFC hell we might not even be debating right now if it wasn’t for Dana and the UFC. The sport might still be growing with out him but it would not bed were it is today. Like him or not being able to be honest is called freedom and I for one like the fact that a man that has worked as hard as him can be himself and speak openly with out being cruesified. He may bring more attention to himself than he needs to but that Dana White would you expect anything less.

Dana’s a great promoter, he’s done a terrific job at promoting the fights and the sport to the masses and the commissions but his man management skills suck. Calling a fighter overrated will not get them to sign with you especially when it’s a proud man like Fedor who doesn’t need the UFC’s money. If a football manager expressed interest in making a signing then said in the same sentence that the player he wants is overrated there is no way that he’d sign. It’s as bad as when he said him and Rampage made up then insulted him and called him stupid in the same sentence, that’s not how you deal with anyone especially a volatile character like Rampage.

OK KIDDIES: LESSON TIME- none of these things, none of these insults, none of evil dana’s harsh words about fedor not being a top fighter,about being overrated, or about being at the buffet bar, would mean squat, if dana had done the 1 thing that he could not do, and that is co-promote with m-1. if for some odd reason the ufc had went along with the asinine notion to co-promte with m-1 (has anyone seen them on hd-net, they look like they fight out of vfw legion hall’s and junior high school gyms) then FEDOR WOULD be with the ufc, right here right now, regardless of the insults that you younglings think is keeping fedor out. had dana and the fertittas went ahead and co-promoted with m-1, fedor and finkie would be kissing dana’s arse right now. smooch! smooch!.

Yeah I don’t think Dana wants to sign Fedor and build him up as the UFC’s pride and joy. He wants to sign him so he can be destroyed by the existing UFC champion and then there will be no more debates about where all the best fighters are.
Fedor isn’t NO WHERE near as popular as Kimbo Slice. NOT EVEN CLOSE!! I am not saying that Fedor isn’t the best p4p fighter out there, I am saying he is not the most popular and I don’t think the UFC has any interest in building him up, just knocking him down.

For sure Fedors first three fights would of been most likely against Brock, A.Silva and Machida wich could very easily be three losses for Fedor and don’t even say any fighter he has faced is as talented as those guys besides NOG maybe and we will see how well NOG fairs next year against Brock. The UFC offered more money to Fedor only if Fedor won and you can’t blame Fedor for taking the gaurantee money because even he isn’t stupid enough to think he’s invincible and busines is business take the guaranteed money.

Spot on RoB, I like Dana but when he acts like that it’s sleazy and makes him look just as hypocritical and crooked as any other dodgy promoter. I lost a lot of respect for him when he did a u-turn on Kimbo after bashing him for years when he was a big draw for the competition.

hey, I like Dana too but he’s got a bad side to him that i don’t think any of us can stand. I think people are getting interested enough to have their own opinion’s of the sport and the fighters, so that when Dana says something these days ppl can tell when it’s BS.
the UFC and MMA has it’s own life Dana doesn’t need to baby everybody around, and tell them what’s good and not, seriously. but i understand the sport and the whole business is still new. What Dana needs to make sure is that the athletes and the sport takes over, it still seems to me that he is a little too in love with driving the bus!
Wouldn’t it be weird if media’s main focus in the world of football was to get an interview with Michel Platini and all team owners all the time? :P
by RoBerto on Oct 3, 2009 10:23 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
As much as I dislike Blatter at least he doesn’t try to take the spotlight off the players. Managers and owners would never publicly criticise their players or prospective signings the way Dana does because it’s unprofessional, there’s a way to go about things and bashing fighters you supposedly want is not a smart way to conduct business. There is no way a footballer would join a club whose owners called him overrated and if a player was publicly criticised by the manager and after supposedly sorting out the problem was still being insulted at press conferences he would leave in an instant.
Dana as I said is a great promoter but at times he needs to learn when to talk and when not to, as upsetting the fighters won’t help the business or the sport.

hehe yeah, that’s where i wanted to come. Dana does not realize that now because he’s the only one to run a successful MMA business, so it’s good that there are still other options out there for fighters to go.

Fedor has been comfortable at the same weight for years. Why would he drop to a different weightclass to fight the MW and LHW Champions???
by chefdaddy on Oct 3, 2009 9:16 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Both those guys weigh around 230 normal weight Silvas weight for the forrest fight was around 225 the night of the fight Fedor wouldn’t drop they would come up to fight him chef. Fact is it’s easy to talk but really Fedor has not walked the walk if he did we wouldn’t be debating how good he is it wasn’t to long ago many thought Cro Cop was going to own the UFC HW division but talk cheap and if Cro Cop followed Fedors path he would still be fight and considered a top ten HW so you can’t blame Fedor who’s toughest fight was against Cro Cop for taking the gaurantee money.
by Beaver on Oct 3, 2009 9:34 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Except that Fedor has looked good and Cro Cop hasn’t. Anyone with eyes can see that Cro Cop has declined drastically. As far as debating how good he is, the debate is whether or not he’s the #1 P4P fighter, which is subjective and always open to debate. If the UFC isn’t going to let Silva go up to face Mir, why would they let him fight Fedor?
by Diceman on Oct 3, 2009 9:54 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
The PPV draw with Mir there are other fighters that will be a better PPV draw and it will be for the belt against Mir it is a no win situation for the UFC for taking a chance that Silva could lose to a 250 pound Mir compared to Silva losing to a 235 pound #1 ranked Fedor and if Silva were to win against Mir what does that really prove compared to beating Fedor?
by Beaver on Oct 3, 2009 10:02 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Smart to avoid the bulk of my post. I just think it’s silly to sit here and play matchmaker and say that Fedor would be fighting Silva and Machida if he came to the UFC. Honestly I think Dana is afraid that Silva will get taken down and subbed by the much larger Mir, and a lot of the Silva hype will go down. It would hurt his drawing power. If that is the reason he doesn’t want Silva to face Mir, he certainly won’t want him to fight Fedor who most certainly would ragdoll Silva to the ground, where he would have his way with him. I don’t care what you guys think because Silva knocked out a big guy in Forrest, he would get taken down at will and mauled by Fedor. This is such a dumb hypothetical argument anyway.

I can assure you that Anderson would win over Mir, but what in the world does that do to help the UFC’s business? nothing, it’s a lose lose and an idiotic matchup. He won’t ever contend for the HW title anyways, and the UFC won’t risk Anderson Silva embarrassing a guy that just competed against their titleholder Brock Lesnar.

I think Fedor has a REALLY good chance against Machida and Silva who are both stand up fighters who havent been challenged by anyone near the caliber of Fedor on the ground but now Brock……..Thats a fight I want to see and have truly wondered what the outcome would be…Still give it to Fedor on experience but soon even that may not be a factor if Brock keeps fighting and winning….(Still havent seen Brock fight through true punishment and win yet though)

Let’s be honest, Silva matches up terribly with Fedor. Fedor could take him down at will and have his way with him on the ground.

Silva is deadly on his back Dice infact he probally has the best defence in MMA when on his back along with BJ. NOG is great to but NOG does not have the strikes nor does he have flexability are long limbs of Silva Fedor has not faced an athlete near the calibure of Brock or Silva. I’m not saying Silva is guaranteed to win but I would bet on him against Fedor. He has better stand up and his ground game is solid even though he wouldn’t want to go there against a stronger Fedor he is more than capable of defending and attacking on the ground.

And please tell me a fight I can watch that would make me think that Silva has one of the top 2 defences from his back in MMA. Surely you’re not saying that because he locked in a triangle on Lutter. And RoBerto-I gave logical reasons as to why I think Fedor would win. Why do you think Silva would win? You’ve seen Fedor fight and surely know he’s one of, if not the very most, intelligent fighters on the planet. You think he’s going to walk straight into punches like Forrest did? I don’t, I think he would throw Silva to the ground and pummel him. If Nog couldn’t stop it, Silva sure as hell wouldn’t be able to stop it.

Agreed Dice. No disrespect Beaver but I dont think Silva has a chance against Minotauro on the ground and if he cant hang with his teacher then his chances against Fedor on the ground are slim to none. On the ground Silva is a bit overrated. Although his defense has kept him from losing to Henderson and defeating Lutter, Fedor is a totaly different animal. I dont think Fedor would strike with Silva. He would take him down and GnP as he has done so many times before. Although if Fedor was foolish enough to try and KO silva, that is a totally different discussion altogether and Silva chances rise enormously…..

Think how badly Linland hurt Fedor in the standup. Linland had a fair chance at that point had Fedor not dry humped the top rope to avoid the take down and then ending up in top position because of it. It is very likely that Silva could put Fedor in trouble on his feet. Do I think Silva would win, maybe not, but in order for Fedor to take him down he has to avoid the laser acurate striking on the way in. It only takes 2 or 3 accurate shots from Silva to put a fighter in trouble and should he lock on the thai clinch it could be all she wrote for Fedor. I do agree that on the ground Fedor is in the advantage, but with the long limbs, he could nulify Fedor enough to get back up on his feet.

well, Anderson is in fighting shape at 205 and 185 not 230. He doesn’t have the size to go in against Fedor there should be a significant strentgh advantage for Fedor. As for how Anderson would do, I think he could beat Fedor! if he sticks and moves just like he’s done with all his recent opponents in the UFC he will be hard to take down and he also holds a nice reach advantage to clip Fedor with when he comes in!

They should give Kimbo an immediate title shot vs Brock and scrap the Carwin vs Brock fight since all Dana cares about is big numbers+big $$$$. Pretty safe to say that would be the most watched PPV fight ever.
The reason i say scrap Carwin vs Brock is because brock is gonna get KO’d by Carwin then again im pretty sure Brock Vs Kimbo would still sell hella crazzy either way.

Dana White is a joke. If he wants to see an overrated heavyweight he need look no further than his own heavyweight champion and the guy he just beat.
Two of the most overrated fighters in all of MMA.

NOG/Mir/Carwin/Brock/Santos/Cain/Gonzoga/Kongo what other HW division is even close Fedor/Overeem/Rogers/Werdum/AA LOL Carwin would destroy Rogers in a fight Werdum is probally the best all around fighter besides Fedor but Santos took him to school as he didn’t do much better than Cro Cop and really I think Cro Cop would go 3 & 2 against the Strikeforce HW or 2 & 3 the UFC HW division is the best HW division in some time and don’t forget Overeem got KO against Sho Gun imagine what damage Carwins fist would do to him.

Didn’t Overeem also get KO’d by Chuck in a Pride GP??
The UFC’s HW div is the best right now. Lets all remember that there statistically isn’t that many pple walking around at 220lbs plus (USA excluded) so the HW division will always be proportionatley smaller than other divisions. The Average male probably sits between WW and LHW. Those facts considered and the HW div is as deep as can be expected.
Brett…Prob wont happen but please give Fedor a good rogering and knock his a$$ out!

I actually think Rogers is going to be a great fight. His only question is his ground game because it hasnt been seen. He is big strong and can throw accurate knockout punches. Honestly Rogers could beat Shane Carwin!!
by zack on Oct 3, 2009 10:34 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
That would be a awsome fight but Rogers does leave himself open and took some shots from AA one shot from Carwin and it’s lights out for the big man any wich way including this fight against Fedor the longer it goes the worse off Rogers is. I like Rogers and think he has potential but unless he gets in shape he will have a hard time against opponents that can last past the first round against him he will tire against Fedor (unless he gets a solid strike in)and when he does Fedor will bring the heat.

Brett Rogers and Shane Carwin are actually the same person. You guys didn’t know that!?!? They’re just like Miley Cyrus and Hanna Montana! They’re working on a movie about how difficult it is for him to live a double life like that and how painful the hairplugs are.

I DO want Fedor to get knocked out. As soon as he gets one loss, the mystique is dead. No one will ever give a shit about him ever again. Fedor makes me sick.
by Josh H. on Oct 3, 2009 10:35 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Fedor isn’t very marketable. The only thing Fedor has going for him is his record- don’t get me wrong he is top 5 p4p but if he loses on a punchers chance then all the sudden the Russian who can’t speak English is going to need to go back overseas to make money because his legend will be gone. Long term I don’t think M1 is looking good, short term they will be fine- but a Fedor loss and the USD are gone and he’s back to the Yakuza and Yen. At least in the UFC he could have signed a deal, got PPV points invested that in M1 instead of a possibly loss in Strikeforce and no PPV points.

Marquart will beat Hendo and I think he will beat Silva given another chance. Fedor will get KO by Rogers unless Rogers goes in scared. Either way Brock would crush either of them.

It would be better for Dana if Rogers wins. Cause unless the M-1 execs go to prison or get executed by their Yakuza buddies, Fedor is never gonna sign with the UFC. So if Fedor loses to a no-name like Rogers, then Dana can woo Rogers and let all the UFC HWs beat up on him and prove via MMA math, that Fedor is as irrellevant as Dana has always tried to claim.

I love watching MMA. Therefore I love watching the UFC. I hate it that so many people can’t realize that the UFC marketing machine doesn’t actually determine who the best fighters are. I’m not foolish enough to believe that all the best fighters are in the UFC and that everyone else is overrated or whatever multitude of things Dana says they are. As far as production quality, number of events, and depth of quality fighters, obviously the UFC is second to none. That doesn’t mean there isn’t other good MMA out there.

one loss does not defeat a legacy. If Fedor was to lose to rogers and then for what ever reason it was, fedor were to sign in ufc, everybody would still watch him. and i bet he would still win because he has been nothing but consistent throughout his career. All the silva nuthuggers can say he fought cans. Silva is a prick and has been subbed twice. Fedor has one loss and i shouldn’t have to explain its context, but basically b.s.
Both Fedor and Silva are # 1 and 2 in the world p4p. Too hypothetical to have a true #1. A real mma fan wouldn’t bash either.
And lets be honest, what does Fedor care about the UFC? nothing he has his own interests in M-1, Do you really give a sh.t about anyone in Russia? (speaking in general terms) Cause im sure as hell fedor can care less about anyone in the united states and what they think about him, he can’t speak english.

really guys, who cares? fedor will never sign with the ufc. fedor has shit for a marketable persona. without is invincible legacy he has nothing. he isn’t going to risk that against a monster like brock who can finish guys from onorthodox posistions with six inch hammer fists. one loss and fedor loses his mojo, two loses and he loses everything.

one big weakness that i can totally c in Brock is that he can be mentally taken out of his game if Fedor rattles him or make him feel embarraseed by knocking him down with a punch he can take his heart it was apparant in the first Mir fight as soon as they went to the ground and Mir had his leg Brock arm was already extended out towards the reff in perfect position all ready to tap out he basically started tapping b4 any pressure was even put on his foot/leg .. Thats the biggest problem with Brock, his mental toughness is suspect, he is just so big and a mountain of a man so its rare to c it get comprimised…but Fedor will…he has beaten many giants in the past ..Zulu,semmy,Hunt, are a few i can remember off the top of my head…Fedor seems very intelligent and maybe if Dana White stopped trying to bait him with cheap shots saying he might get knocked out and he is overrated and stopped insulting him maybe he would start getting some positive results with Fedor..cuz obviously insulting him isn’t working …i cant stand Dana he is such a little jew!!!! and im not predjudice and have jewish friends its just a figure of speech so please dont start writing all this shit about me callin Dana a jew..lol…he is acting like one ….lol..4 real tho….i would luv to fight one round in the cage with Dana .. would luv to get him in the clinch and punish him with knees

It is about co-promotion muay! Like i said earlier Dana has a near perfect business model. He has built the UFC into the Ultimate Profit Machine. Why would you want some 3rd rate promotion, M1, to come in with only 2 fighters(FEdor and Moussasi)and take half the profits every time one of them are on your card? That is crazy. They offered Fedor all the money in the world, ppv rights, all for a guy who is a virual unknown in the USA, which is where the UFC market is. No way any business man in their right mind gives up half their profits to partner with someone who has very little to offer on the return. We know who FEdor is and maybe after the Rogers fight the world knows who Fedor is, but at the time they were trying to sign him, the casual mma fan had never heard of FEdor.
I think alot of Dana’s bad mouthing and insulting, is he is pulling a Tito Ortiz(who annoys the hell out of me). I think he figures if he keeps talking about Fedor, saying his name anytime possible, it will have the average person looking up Fedor, to see who this man is. Therefore creating a virtual snowball effect. Howard Stern style, where the more outlandish things Stern said the more his radio listeners increased, whether they liked him or not just to hear what he had to say. So I think Dana figures bulid up the FEdor snowball, roll it down hill, and hopefully by the time it rolls into the UFC it is profitable enough to possibly give a better offer, for a fighter who now has been heard of to the casual fan. Just a theory I have been thinking about over the last few days.

MTM, I hate Lesnar…HATE him, but I haven’t seen any evidence that he’s mentally weak. It was approximately .005 seconds from the time Mir got hold of his leg till he had to tap. That has nothing to do with Brock’s mental state and everything to do with Mir’s. With Mir, you can’t wait. Mir doesn’t slowly apply pressure till his opponent taps, he jerks those submissions on with total disregard for the damage to his opponents joints. Remember Tim Silva’s arm!!! Mir has made it very clear in interviews that he has no bones about ripping someone’s knee or shoulder out and causing them permanent damage. That’s one reason I hate Mir. Watch the tape again, Brock’s leg was in serious jeopardy. I’m not saying Brock is as mentally tough as Fedor or won’t be intimidated by him. I’m just saying there’s no evidence yet to back up your claim that he’s soft.

Fedor would beat brock. Seriously though i am unimpressed with the ufc heavy weight division. Mir is lazy, brock has good takedowns but nothing else, Kongo has no ground game, Carwin will get pwned by brock and nog is too old. And the the talent on TUF looks freaking terrible? Kimbo is a joke, roy nelson will get defeated by any half-real competition and the rest have no cardio.
Dana White needs to shut the fuck up and sign some more talent instead of calling Fedor ‘overrated’ to defend his own squalid heavyweight division.

James, I agree the HW division is weaker than say the 205 or 170 but Dos Santos looks impressive, Nog showed he is still good in his last fight and other than that yeah it is still the weakest division. The guys of tuff so far are terrible. How do you show up to an show like this out of shape? How can you train for years like Kimbo and not know basic jiu-jitsu like escapes from side control. How can the show consistently find at least 5 guys that are terrible. Lets see 16 fighters not 2 fighters, a one demensional ace and 13 chumps.
