Hand surgery sidelines Fedor Emelianenko up to six weeks

what kind of company is RVCA is it just a clothing company or what because i have only seen 2 fighter they sponser, fedor and bj .

Because of the way Fedor punches, he almost always breaks his thumb/hand when he fights.

For anyone that wonders why I like Fedor so much, it’s because of this kind of attitude….

    “I still have some gaps in my techniques, in my skills, and that’s why my trainers press me hard to work hard and improve. In spite of the fact that they try to work me hard and make my game perfect, I still, in some places, I look a little bit clumsy.”

    “I am the way that I am, but I always remember that the harder a person gets, the more it hurts to fall down. That’s why I think about all the results (that come from) what I do in a calm way. Also, I try to treat all people the same way. We’re all human beings, with two arms, two legs and all of us are equal in front of God.”
-Fedor on his performance against Brett Rogers.

This today from Rogan on Fedor being “exposed”…

I made a short twitter message about the Fedor Rogers fight, and I got a lot of feedback from it, so I thought I should elaborate when I got some free time.
What I said in the message was that I thought Fedor got exposed a bit.
What was going through my mind after the fight before I wrote that tweet, was that I was surprised that Rogers was able to easily reverse Fedor, despite the fact that he’s not a very experienced grappler. The conventional wisdom was that if Fedor could get the fight to the ground he would be able to finish it quickly, but obviously that wasn’t the case.
Rogers wasn’t able to hold Fedor down and only landed a few clean shots, but I couldn’t help wonder what Lesnar would have been able to do with that position.

I think part of Rogers’ success there lays in that he’s very powerful and athletic, and also that he’s just such a huge guy. At 230lbs I absolutely believe that Fedor is the very best in the world, but at 265 I’m not sure if that weight difference is not too much of a disadvantage. For sure he’s one of the top 3 pound for pound fighters in the world, and determining who is number 1 is really just a matter of opinion and speculation. The truly amazing thing about Fedor is that he has gone through his career as a heavyweight undefeated except for one cut, yet he could easily fight at 205 or possibly even at 185 if he really wanted to get crazy. That just shows you what a special fighter he is.
At heavyweight when guys like Lesnar or Rogers get up as big as 265 at the weigh in and maybe 20lbs over that during fight time I really wonder if these gigantic super athletic guys with better grappling like Brock might be able to exploit that size advantage where Rogers couldn’t.

I’ve always been, and continue to be a huge fan of Fedor. I love his style, I love his no frills approach to training, and I love his emotionless approach to combat.
Objectively though, I think there are some exploitable holes in his striking that we saw a little in the Arlovski fight, and the size disadvantage he has against the best big men might be a big problem if they were to meet as well.
He’s not perfect, but he sure is fun as hell to watch.

When I think about the best pound for pound fighters in the sport I think of Anderson, GSP, Fedor and BJ. The guy who has been impressing me the most lately is really GSP for his ability to neutralize really dangerous guys like Thiago Alves and Jon Fitch. Sure, he’s made mistakes and lost in the past, but I think that might be one of the things that make him so good. He’s learned from his mistakes and adjusted and improved. His ability to implement the perfect game plan is the best, in my opinion.
Anderson impresses me the most with his spectacular finishes, and his beautiful technical striking. With Fedor it’s his ability to rag doll bigger guys like Rogers and land brutal bombs on guys like Arlovski, Tim and Brett and just the sheer savagery of his aggression.

Really I would love to see Fedor fight anyone in the UFC, but if I had my choice I would want to see him fight Anderson over Brock. I think they are much closer in weight, and I think it could be an incredible fight.

The UFC pays me, and it’s an honor to work for them, but I am and always will be a fan of all mixed martial arts. I watch it all, including all the HDNET fights, K-1, boxing, etc.
I have never been told to alter my opinions, and if it comes out of my mouth whether you agree with it or not, it’s my opinion and not the talking points of my employers. There was a lot of talk after my twitter post, and I just wanted to clear things up as much as possible.
A lot can be lost in 140 characters. In the future I’ll try to avoid confusing comments like that without elaborating on what I meant.

how can anyone not like Rogan? I agree with everything he said

me too

Can’t say I disagree with anything Rogan said here.

Glad he cleared the air about it.

Rogan 100% correct. Same points I was making if you read the Fedor posts from the last week!

Yeah, I think he’s right too and it makes me think that there really should be another weight class between 205 and 265. I say right down the middle at 235. Guys like Fedor and Cain fight in the lower class and the BIG boys fight in that upper part of the weight class. The size disadvantage of a guy like Randy fighting Lesnar is really not fair despite Couture not complaining about it.

Very much looking forward to Fedor vs. Werdum and I am happy that his hand injury is keeping him out less than 2 months.

Werdum is a really tough guy, that has had an outstanding career. If Brock deserves to fight fedor, then Werdum sure as hell does. Take away the JDR and Arlovski fights and his resume is amazing!

Bigfoot vs. grim will be awesome battle between 2 Giants!

Im curious to see what their plan for Lashly and Arlovski is!

I would love to see:
Arlovski vs. Alistar!
Lashly vs. Pee Wee

Pee Wee would bash Lashley’s head in. Bigfoot vs Grim is the next fight for sure. Alistair would blow arlovski’s doors off. That would be a straight massacre.

I doubt Overeem would blow his doors off in fact thats a tough fight to call…remember that AA is training at Jackson’s now and will have a tip top game plan

Arlovski may be the better boxer but Overeem undoubtedly has the better kickboxing. Arlovski would likes to land from distance would find himself in a bad position. If he moves into the clinch then we know what alistair brings there. Submission wise Arlovski doesn’t bring anything that Alistair can’t handle. In fact overeem would have the advantage in takedowns from distance or clinch. Add Andrei’s horrible chin and you’ve got recipe for disaster. Remember when Overeem fought liddell. For that first round, he was absolutely mauling chucky. I imagine that fight when i think about this. Maybe am completly glossing over something but what do you think Arvloski brings that could give overeem trouble?

So it sounds like we have a plan.

Werdum v Fedor
Rogers vs Big foot
Arlovski vs Overeem
Pee Wee vs Lashley

BUT WHAT ABOUT HERSCHEL WALKER !!!
Somebody call Mike Kyle and tell him to get ready.

his boxing and game plan…fyi I’d pick overeem too but just thought “blowing doors off” was a bit much…that would be a fight I’d really look forward to actually…I also think AA’s Sambo would help him in the clinch

crap – Kyle and Herschel are both at AKA (just checked)

get Eddie Sanchez off his couch…or even better, call Timmay

Come on Mac – it’s deer season and Timmah is in the bush until Christmas.
Note Hunting season ends at the end of the month – I just personaly think it will take him that long to find his way back home.

Eddie Sanchez could be good fodder for someone.

lol…mental image of Timmay in his tree stand by himself freezing, and crying out for help…lol

The cheesiest line in any movie I’ve ever seen lol.

Well, Dana can be how you described (minus the womanizing thing…I’ve seen no evidence of that) and Fedor is accused of having Mob ties, so really it’s a toss up for me on “who to believe”.

MM_eh

Wanna buy a bridge?

Is it me or you Intro?…we seem to be in agreement more these days

Just illustrating what haters can say about either side. You seem to be a hater of the UFC. Don’t get me wrong I like Fedor a lot (he’s like monsters from the movies who you think are dead, but attack again), but to think anyone is more trustworthy than someone else when you actually don’t know the first thing about these people is really naive.

meh….

Dana in about 2006 – “Who the f$ck is Shogun”?

Dana a few months ago – “I’m out of the Tito Ortiz business”

Dana a couple years back – “Gary Shaw is a f$ckin’ idiot for siging Kimbo Slice”

I could go on all day.

You believe this idiot…..you’re an idiot…period.

…besides I don’t hate the UFC. Just because I call a spade a spade (Dana’s a piece of crap)…doesn’t mean I hate the UFC.

You see, unlike many people here….I can like the UFC’s fighters and not like Dana.

I have spent probably over $10,000 on PPV’s, airfare, accomodations, etc….to watch the UFC PPV’s as well as going to UFC 40, 66, and 83.

Who would do all those things if they hated the UFC?

and Fedor said he wanted to fight the best. I was just saying that you don’t personally know either of these guys. Fedor could be the biggest scum-bag ever, and you wouldn’t have a clue. Dana exudes his scumbagery, so it’s quite obvious (although I think a lot of that is an act). I really don’t mind the fude between these two cause it’s keeping two companies relatively healthy.

why doesn’t that sissy fedor got minnesota and challenge brock then?
INTOVERT=JERRY"GARY" MILLEN. he hates on dana so much but loves scums like the shaws, millen and finkie. “how can anyone hate on fedor, he’s so humble”? a person reflects on who he runs with, and FEDOR practilly sleeps with Millen. DISGUSTING!

Intro, I just want to know what makes Fedor’s offer SO much greater than anything the UFC has offered already?? I don’t see your logic here.

Fedor makes an offer and he’s a class act, if the UFC makes an offer they’re scum. WTF is the diff really??

Who the hell wants to fight in Russia anyway? If Brock would actually win, he won’t make it out of there alive.

And lastly, don’t try and hide behind the “I only hate Dana and not the UFC” crap. Anyone who’s been on here long enough see’s right through that.

UFC Champ

This is why I respect Fedor….

"I still have some gaps in my techniques, in my skills, and that’s why my trainers press me hard to work hard and improve. In spite of the fact that they try to work me hard and make my game perfect, I still, in some places, I look a little bit clumsy."

“Also, I try to treat all people the same way. We’re all human beings, with two arms, two legs and all of us are equal in front of God.”

Dana = Unprofessional, lippy, douchebag.
Fedor = Class
You (a guy who calls me bias, but has the name “UFC Champ”) = Hypocrite.

WOW, this is all you got??

You dodge my question of what makes Fedor’s offer any better than the UFC’s.and you come back with reason’s why you have “a thing” for the guy. I’m not disrespecting Fedor, but that answer doesn’t support your argument at all.

My screen name, like your’s, is chosen. You assume my screen name makes my comments bias, but infact I enjoy all MMA. This past weekend I sat down and enjoyed the SF event. Whenever I get a chance to watch TV, I flip by the stations that have usually air re-run or live MMA.

So cut the crap, I’m sure your name is true then? If it were, you probably wouldn’t be here…too bad I guess.

So, you don’t like him?

I’m confused.
