Fighting Fedor

[Bluto]

http://www.m1mixfight.com/

"Fedor Emelianenko, once considered the world’s top pound-for-pound fighter, has agreed to face the winner of a 16-man tournament on a new reality show by M-1 Global titled, “Fighting Fedor.”"

"In short, be prepared for fighting’s most embarrassing television moment since “Iron” Mike Tyson made a guest appearance on, “Who’s the Boss.”

It seems M-1 Global is indeed hell-bent on delivering MMA fans the matches we’ve all been screaming for. After all, why bother with the likes of Josh Barnett or Antonio Silva when you can steamroll an up-and-coming fighter in front of your hometown crowd?

Even more amusing is the hackneyed narrator trying to sell us the premise as “Groundbreaking” and “The likes of which have never been seen before on American television“.

Sixteen fighters compete against each other in a sequestered environment with the winner getting a title shot — yeah … that’s as fresh as they come.

I’ve always been a fan of Fedor Emelianenko and there is no questioning his accomplishments in this sport. But this new endeavor carries the foul stench of network entertainment.

Fedor will continue to grin and sleep soundly in his bed of cash. He may or may not face the best competition, but it’s his legacy to defend.

And he may choose to defend that legacy with little or no effort.

His fans, unfortunately, no longer have that same luxury. " - Jesse Holland

I've always thought that fat lazy slob was overhyped...

I've always thought that fat lazy slob was overhyped...

Yeah..    I'm sure you'd choke him out in a heartbeat 

but you're probably too busy being the CEO of a fortune 500 company, nailing 20 playboy playmates, racing your ferrari and benching 800 for  reps to bother with cage fighting anymore, I mean after your stellar 96-0 UFC/Pride record and everything..

Ha ha!  It's so easy to push you Fedor-guy's buttons.

Aren't you the old guy that choked out some geezer at a poker party ??

yeah.  what's your point?

[Fury]

yeah.  what's your point?

He's saying you're an old fag living in some fantasy world where you think you're actually good at martial arts. 

[chaos]

Aren't you the old guy that choked out some geezer at a poker party ??

Careful, he'll challenge you to a cagefight, then when you call his bluff, he'll conveniently disappear.

[calmus]

Poor Yemeni. His e-bullying only worked on Arvilla. 

[chaos]

Just had a thought.....think Randy will be one of the 16 in the tourny?

[MindSpin]

If you guys aren't busy circle-jerking each other, you're sucking each others nuts all over these boards A pathetic existence

[Earl1972]

Ha ha!  It's so easy to push you Fedor-guy's buttons.

how do you not "nut hug" a guy that hasn't lost, other than from a cut from an illegal blow?

seriously what do you have against pride?

Nothing against Pride...lots of great fighters and fights came from Pride.  Nothing against Fedor...he is arguably the best heavyweight in MMA.  You should know me by now Earl.  I like to push buttons and make people melt....

You would hate yourself too if you just started watching MMA in 2007 and were led around for a year thinking the UFC was the big dog in town. He's just angry at the world.

[BigNBloated]

haha i love people saying fedor is overrated thats some of the most rediculous shit on this board. Because he doesnt wanna sign a 6 fight deal with UFC somehow hes backing down. Utter bullshit. Hes conquered the world, now its time to make money.

[Fury]

The funny thing is that M-1's heavyweight division is already leaps and bounds ahead of the UFC's. It's been around for what? 3 months now. The UFC should be ashamed.

[MindSpin]

Tim Silvia would eat Fedor alive...
























....meltdown in 3, 2, 1...

Really?

Let's see if you're talking outta your ass - as usual:

Sherdog Official Mixed Martial Arts Rankings

#1 Fedor - M-1
#2 Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira - UFC
#3 Randy Couture - UFC
#4 Tim Sylvia - UFC
#5 Andrei Arlovski - UFC
#6 Fabricio Werdum - UFC
#7 Gabriel Gonzaga - UFC
#8 Cheick Kongo - UFC
#9 Mirko Filipovic - Leaving UFC for Dream
#10 Ben Rothwell - IFL

7 ( 8 ) outta 10 is in the UFC including spots 2-8(9)

MMAWeekly World MMA Rankings

#1 Fedor Emelianenko - M-1
#2. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira - UFC
#3. Randy Couture - UFC
#4. Tim Sylvia - UFC
#5. Andrei Arlovski - UFC
#6. Fabricio Werdum - UFC
#7. Gabriel Gonzaga - UFC
#8. Mirko Cro Cop Filipovic - Leaving UFC for Dream
#9. Aleksander Emelianenko - M-1
#10. Cheick Kongo - UFC

7( 8 ) outta 10 is in the UFC including spots 2-7( 8 )

Let's see who's missing from the top-10:

 Josh Barnett is with WVR. So is Yoshida. Mir is with the UFC. So is Brock Lesnar. Mark Coleman? Who knows. He'll be 44. UFC leftovers.
Paul Buentello who cares. more UFC leftovers. Jeff Monson is UFC leftovers. Antonio Silva is with Elite. Brandon Vera is with the UFC.
Ricco Rodriguez is UFC leftovers. Cabbage is UFC leftovers. Mark Hunt, last I heard he's going to Hustle.

So when you say M-1 is leaps and bounds over UFC, even though they only got 1-2 fighters on every top-10 heavyweight list published on the net, what do you mean exactly? Are you suggesting Fedor will fight his own brother over and over again?! 

Or maybe it's guys like Hong Man Choi that will show the world how SUPERIOR M-1 is? 

No the conclusion can only be one - you're full of shit.

[Fury]

Wow, you can copy and paste Sherdog's top 10!!! That list is absolutely atrocious. Thanks for proving my point about how terrible the UFC HW division is. Tim Sylvia #4? Ahead of Aleks? Ha ha ha. I really don't care about anyone under #1 on that list, so all that effort you just invested copying and pasting was for naught.

I love it when you save me the trouble of having to go out of my way to self-own you. If M-1 signs Barnett, it becomes far and away better. I'm sure they'll have Hunt signed eventually.

Aleks and Fedor are two of the top 3 p4p fighters on that list, aka M-1 is better.



Don't cry, the UFC isn't going to get any better anytime soon.
