I think it’s just that most MMA fans are so dumb that they literally can not keep more than one thing in their mind… And that one thing is UFC.

There is no space for an amazing fighter like Fedor in their mind… it just does not compute. Everytime they hear about things that are outside of the UFC, they auto-bash since they do not understand.

It makes me sad that this is the case, but it is also fun to read the mindless forum posts and comments by those people, kinda like its fun to watch monkeys in the zoo.

agreed except for the Shogun part…he has no gold John

imo- grim could hang with all those fighters, and possibly beat them all too.

i like buck rogers.. ive been a fan for a while now.. even though he will most likely get beat by fedor, i really do see him putting up a fight..

i think grim could be a problem for any ufc hw fighter..
~

fyi: war shogun the lhw champ!~

“I just dont get how people can have so much hatred for such a humble, classy guy that RESPECTS everyone he encounters: promotors, opponents, fans, towel boys, Fedor treats them all with nothing but respect.”

John G, I don’t get your double-standard here. You say this about Fedor-haters, but this quote could just as easily apply to your inexplicable hatred of Couture, one of the most respectful and respected guys in the sport. Hell even an arrogant punk like Vera can’t find anything bad to say about Randy. But you act like he shot your dog.

mcart~

shogun is the current ufc lhw champ, just like

hammil has a win over bisping~

rampage never lost his belt~

barnett was never the ufc hw champ,

barnett never beat randy couture the fight was a n/c~

rumble’s eyepoke loss doesn’t count as a tko loss, it’s a n/c~

and so on, and so on…

i could list tons of examples of things that the commission messed up on and will never change..

there are lots of wrong stats that will always sit on fighters official records[resume]..

the commissions never overturn anything, but fans who watched these wrong doings will remember what really happened and will always know the truth..

Fedor is going to lose one day. I’m pretty sure that this is too tough of a fight for him. To me this is the caliber of match up that he would get in the UFC, and imo the challenge is the reason he’s not in the UFC. Somehow Rogers slipped in through the force field that keeps fedor from fighting any real threats, and he’s going down the drain.Fedors legacy ends saturday night, although i’m sure he will still be able to earn a living after the loss.

Machida is without a doubt the best 205 lb fighter alive.

Stinky you live in your own world, and thats cool. I’m surprised you didnt mention Dan Hardy’s loss to Marcus Davis. or randy Coutures loss to Tim Sylvia. Or GSP’s loss to Thiago Alves. Or any other time in history when your favorite fighter lost a decision.

LMFAO john never in a boring fight???? the first thing that comes to mind here is hong man chow
that’s all i have to say about that

jre, sometimes you make sense but not on this one.

slipped in through the force field that keeps fedor from fighting any real threats,

lol what are you going to say sat after the fight?

jre~ all the fights u put up, had a definte winner..

i don’t think u understood my post.

randy couture[far from one of my fav fighters] has a loss on his record that shouldn’t count cause barnett got busted using steroids.. the commission will never change the loss to a n/c.. barnett has a win on his record that shouldn’t count..

95% of the world thought bisping beat hammill, shogun beat machida, but the judges messed up on the score and these fighters have undeserved wins and losses..

fedor got cut with the seam of a glove 17 seconds into a fight and now has a loss on his record via tko.. now i understand it was a tourny and they needed a winner to advance, the commission should still have it listed as a n/c..

rumble took a finger knuckle deep in the eye, yet he still has a tko loss on his record that should be listed as a n/c..

i was just listing a few examples of fighters that should have different looking records, but the commissions will never change the f-up..

i guess i might live in my own world, who knows? but i see the fights how the should have got called, not how the commissions list them..

grim sucks… fedor only fights cans!!

He can KO a hippo john, just not Abongo Humphrey… Fedor is a pussy, he needs to be fighting the best

Enough of the Fedor hate I don’t think he deserves to be called the number one HW in the world anymore but I think he is a great fighter to be #1 you must prove it and once again he states he has to prove nothing? Shouldn’t the best have to prove it? Anyway he is a great fighter and arguably the best in the world and Rogers is a big up and coming fighter that has signs of greatness and the first fighter that is around top ten calibure and moving up instead of down that Fedor has fought in sometime so I’m looking forward to this fight as Rogers like Carwin has the KO power to KO anybody as well he is a big man that will be a tough challenge to bring down. I feel Rogers needs to stay calm and not get to aggressive otherwise he may make a mistake like Brock did against Mir and the fight can be over faster than it started if he keeps Fedor away with his big paws and even when he feels he connected with a good shot keep his distance and not lunge in on a attack because Fedor may look like he’s hurt but he always stays calm and focused waithing for a mistake and once you make a mistake against Fedor he is one of the greatest at capatalizing and finishing as he has done so often.

Dragon,

If you think FEDOR vs choi was boring I don’t kno what to say to you other than “wow”. You can call it a freak show or whaaaaatever you want, but seeing that size difference, followed by the amount of punches FEDOR took, to stay calm then & put an armbar on choi was very cool to see IMO. Ya choi has proven he’s a big nothing, but still it was very entertaining to me.

Ceaser,
Humphrey has a head made of pure damn concrete! Quick list me a fight where a Guy took that many ko punches, and ko knees, only to keep coming head on @ a Guy? It was amazing to say the least. Now go watch again & notice when the hair pulling incidents happen (3rd time I think I remember) Humphrey simply stops & looks @ the ref to complain while Rogers tee’s off another hard punch on him, only for Humphrey to look @ him like " hey I’m talking here". Awesome chin.

And finally addressed to all haters:

Why tune in? Why comment on this thread? Why not watch some sport saturday then? Why even care if you h8 this Guy so much?

Just watch the main events replay of UFC if Dana has you that brainwashed. Go away! The rest of us are fine w/o you. We don’t need you. STRIKEFORCE doesn’t need you. FEDOR doesn’t need you.

hahah i bet you thought silva/letis was an exciting fight tooooooo huh???

Stinky: I also see fights the way I know they played out and I oculdnt care less what the commission lists them as!

good posts man

Daniel, Cabbage to answer your question… also maybe he doesn’t have that great of a chin, maybe Grim just couldnt knock out a guy who is talking to the ref

CHOWDAH, you idiot it would be funny as hell to see fedor read your post, and meet you in person, shut to see what a gutless keyboard warrior you are

Ugh ceaser ur kidding me right? Ur telling me that Silva/Leites was the same caliber of entertainment or even close to style of cabbage/Sylvia or FEDOR choi, or Rogers/Humphrey?

Those were all kinds freak show fights for sure. But I give you props for thinking of cabbage, although it kinda proved my point as that was an amazing display of a granite chin making a fight that could’ve been over in 1 minute end up being a display of what some Superman chins can take!

I can’t believe ur ignorance to not see the pride, determination, & warriorism in a feat like that. They may not be the most talented fighters, but their hearts made for very memorable fights. Don’t throw me in with Silva/leites just to try and get supporters. Piss poor move bud.

What better to grow the sport of MMA than to win all your fights?

I suppose he should spit in the camera after a fight and talk about how he’s gonna bang his wife afterwards?

Give me a break.

If you want to be called #1 fighting a top five would be a start but as far as growing the sport is yet to be seen only the aftermath of this fight will tell. I hope they hit high numbers if they do not only does Strikeforce help themselves out but all of MMA we not only will get the uFC on network TV but possibly even other organizations like WEC and Dream in the future hopefully this event is a success for all of MMA.

couldnt have said it better myself chowdaw!!

How can u say that Fedor is not humble? As far as match-ups go, he was supposed to fight Barnett who was #2 ranked Heavyweight, and it’s not his fault that the fight did not happen. Before that he fought Arlovski, who was unanimously ranked as #2 HW, and even top 10 p4p by some experts. And before Arlovski, Sylvia was ranked in top 5. Honestly, it’s all just Dana saying that 4-1 Brock is somehow the best match-ups for Fedor and if he does not want to sign with UFC, he is not worthy. Same thing he was saying when Pride collapsed 3 years ago and he was saying Fedor should come to fight Tim and Arlovski.

Totally agree Gleb.

I was one of many saying Fedor was fighting cans in Japan instead of proving himself.

Then he fought Tim Sylvia, (who was still considered top 10 at the time), Arlovski (easily top 5 at the time), He was attempting to fight Barnett, Barnett is #2.

I’d like to see Fedor in the UFC certainly, but he isn’t fighting cans anymore.

Word! It’s not Fedor’s fault that Barnett can’t stay off the juice or that he reduced Tim and Andrei to rubble and made them easy pickings for their next opponents. I’ve heard fighters say that while Fedor’s punches rarely knock you unconscious, unlike KO punches which you didn’t feel and don’t remember, you feel Fedor’s punches for weeks after the fight and they leave you psychologically damaged for a while.

82" same as Brock, but it wont be any use to him as he has NO GROUND GAME!! And will be taken down and tooled like Roy on Kimbo
Bad matchup – Fedor sucks Boooooooooooo etc.
Gegard should be fighting better comp too.

Mayhem v Shields and Werdum v Silva are much better matchups

Paniczoo, hmmmm just like “monkeys in the zoo”

you missed the funny train…fmx FTW

Tell that to Dana as he’s thinking about his Spike TV show to challenge his competitor.

Intro Dana will always put on something against a competitor thats why they are called competitors. Like McArthur said until they put on 14 PPV a year then 4 to 6 Fight nights a year they are just a good back up for MMA fans to watch more MMA but they are not even close to being in the same league as the UFC.

I agree Puck Head…they’re competitors.

Why you aruing lol.

Intro, but Joe Rogan says we should watch Spike instead I can’t ignore him. Seriously I don’t get any of these shows anyway, so I’ll have to rely on the net once again. I’d much rather see live fights involving Fedor, Mousasi and Shields than UFC PPV repeats anyway, even if it does have my FOTY in Randy-Big Nog. I’ll be surprised if any hardcore fans watch Spike instead of CBS on Saturday.

I think that all depends on whether they’ve already seen the fights on the UFC MAIN EVENT CARD. If I had missed any of those, I’d be watching Spike that night.

Anybody who thinks Dana doesn’t care about Strikeforce on CBS needs to take a look at the calendar and ask themselves when’s the last time the UFC had 3 live cards in 5 weeks. And when’s the last time they gave us 4 recent PPV main events for free? Dana did everything in his power to try to block SF from getting an open weekend and now he’s offering the best stuff he’s got as counterprogramming. Ask yourself why he’s buying up contracts of anybody with name recognition, why he signed a 47 year old man to 6 more fights, why he signed his archenemy (Tito) for life.

Good point david seems like they were trying to bring up dirt on fedors religion or something?

The questioning was very disrespectful, typical arrogant journalists. Fedor’s religion and marriage are his own business, if he doesn’t want to talk about them he doesn’t have to and the bear question was the final straw. I don’t know how these idiots get paid so much and SF have blown any chance of Fedor doing these conferences again.
