Suspension ran out in august? and he signed with strikeforce, he’s still with sengoku too.

Weird I thought once he fought elsewhere, during his suspension it would get extended. That was his worry a year ago, but he said he had to make money. I guess they changed the rules or something.

After scumbag extraordinaire Garcia left, the new guy Douglas was tired of CSAC looking like a cluster f#ck of a gong show that it was. Especially since he himself had to completely gut out and redo their testing procedures. So they gave him a pass hoping they don’t get exposed in front of everyone by bringing more light onto the situation. Similarly Nevada acted all hard at first but they let Vitor do the same thing after he got popped.

Fedor are you training in jeans?

Ugh..

When you are as good as Fedor you can do what you want.

Hell he could come in dressed as Mickey Mouse and still smash Rogers!!

Looks like the Mania peeps[as well as the whole western hemisphere] are asleep. The comments and news have stopped.
Well here’s some news right now this time of day. Some fighter who isn’t scheduled to fight is partyin’ hard right now and livin’ the rockstar life. Was that Goulet or Dan LAuzon who just commented earlier on facebook? Hehehe!

The first time Kimbo was on CBS, I spent the weekend at my parents house in PA, the local station for CBS ran a Telethon instead of the fight, I ’m in PA for the weekend again, should I be nervous?

Yes, you should. What if your car breaks down in Amish country and you miss the fights completely?

Fedor sucks….his past opponents suck! The best fighter hes ever fought is cro cop who got his ass whooped when he went to the ufc!

School out today?

by OJR Is King (formerly Introvert) on Nov 5, 2009 10:09 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

so who is the best fighter he has ever fought then?

by Robbo on Nov 5, 2009 10:28 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

A prime Cro Cop was a very good fighter, when he came to the UFC he was shot, Nog in his prime was second best and Fedor beat him twice…AA has the best striking in the heavyweight div and Fedor absorbed his punches like they were pillows…fighters like BJ and Bas when asked who is the best they all say one name Fedor

by Robert(1) on Nov 5, 2009 10:49 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

yeah he was but went to the UFC and fought sum tough guys and got smashed..doesnt mean he wasnt as good as he once was and come on nog is so over rated…he couldnt finish a old randy and could have and shud have been beaten by tim sylvia and herring if it wasnt 4 his chin but I guess when Fedor beat him (but couldnt finish him) he was amazing.

Nice pics. The gegard one would be nice for my bar in my basement.
Well 2 more sleeps! Got the pvr set! DVD recorder will be recording UFC main events in the bedroom, & a handful of drunk buddies will be on hand while FEDOR overcomes size w/extreme talent to remain best of the best.

Can’t wait!

FEDOR
Silva
Gegard
Shields(but soo tough to call)

Fedor is a bad bitch. But he is getting older now and i believe that if Rodgers comes out calm and not fucking crazy he will be okay.

by War Machine on Nov 5, 2009 9:44 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

Rogers is about to shock the world and here is why. He is HUGE,especially his fists. He is undefeated. He is hungrier for recognition (Fedor’s ego is always getting stroked). Arlovski was beating Fedor up until the knockout, but Rogers never got touched by Arlovski. If Fedor gets tagged in the first exchange it will be with a lot more power than AA had. Rogers reminds me of boxer Larry Holmes, who seemed to reign eternal. Finally Brett Rogers will win because he has the better nickname “The Grim”.

1.size means nothing (zuluzhino fight)
2.Undefeated (who has he beat AA not included)
3. Fedor has no ego. he doesnt fight for passion he fights because its his job.

Fedor by however he so chooses.

I hope he wears the sweater as his walkout shirt.
