Fedor's first real loss to Fabrico Werdum comes via triangle armbar on June 26 in Strikeforce

Strikeforce is fucked.

I just meant that 34 while not old in the grand scheme of things, is old for a pro athlete. I know an mma fighter doesn’t put in the amount of fighting that a pro football, basektball, or whatever sport it maybe, but by nature, fighting is a young lions sports. While they may not put in the actual amount of fights that a pro athlete from another sport may put in, even the training commands wear and tear. MMA training is full contact and most fighters go into a fight, already injured or worn down from the training camp. While football players don’t hit the red shirt in practice (QB or kicker), Fedor’s training partners are trying to hit him and compromise his skills. Combine that with the actual fight and I think the wear and tear is there. Everytime a fighter has his bell rung he is flirting with a concusion. Figure a fighter has his bell rung 2 or 3 times a year and that is probably more than or equal to what most football players are contending with.

 I personally feel prime-time for athletes is late 20’s. Your early 20’s your body is still developing it’s man muscles and getting rid of the boyish build. You hit your late 20’s and man becomes a completely different beast. You are the strongest you have ever been. Your body is completely developed, and there is power everywhere. This idea makes it real exciting to see what is going to happen with Jon Jones when he hits his prime. You hit you mid 30’s (Ahh sadly I am 34) and you feel the body decline. Different aches and pains, the metabolism slowing and so on. That has to effect fighters in a big way. You can see the difference in the fighters that are now in there early to mid 30’s big time. It is the orginal greats that made mma what it is today, hitting this age bracket. You can see the decline in guys like Lidell, Franklin, Big Nog, Hendo and Wandy.

Yeah. I really love Fedor though, but I’m just not blinded by all the mythical status which surrounds him, or any fighter for that matter. I would never bash him for losing either. He just made a big mistake.

I think a lot of people here think that if you aren’t juggling a fighter’s balls in your mouth that you aren’t as big a fan as they are or something. They tend to resent you looking at it realistically, that you acknowledge that every fighter can lose.

That being said, you bring up an interesting point about Brock. I recall SD saying something the other day such as , “Brock, he tapped out to MIR” implying he’s shit because of it. It proved his ignorance right there, and now he’s eating his words.

 I believe that all sports eveolve as do the athletes and Fedor during Pride was the best but he never proved he was the best for some time just resting on his history. But like I said their isn’t a champion right now that has defended his belt more than two times so it’s hard to knock him out of #1 when he hasn’t lost. Until no :D

I wouldn’t count Schilt or Herring. I would maybe add Coleman, but that still leaves you with 3.

Just Imagine what Carwin is gonna do to this MeatHead!

 And his respect for Couture is huge! They trained together shortly after there fight and Couture recently trained with him for this Carwin fight. The goody two shoes here(Carwin) went to the media with what a bad person Brock is and what a great person he is and this and that BS yet you respect Carwin more!? C;mon jimmy Carwin is the biggest fake as a person outside the octagon. But you being a WWE fan I understand why. Sorry man I’m a MMA fan not WWE so I disagree

Why would you love to meet a gay man in person? Something you want to say?

my thoughts exactly jay
