Fedor's Status

By: Clay

I had the opportunity to watch the StrikeForce event on showtime the other night. Boy, does Fedor look slow. Maybe he looks that way because I haven't seen him fight anyone worth a crap over the past few years and now that he has, he just doesn't look right. Does that make since.

I don't think he should retire though. He should test himself in his training and his next fight. He needs to prove that he is the best fighter and that he has just fallen victim to his own hype and his management setting up easy fights for him.

His management team is his biggest downfall. A couple years ago, Fedor could have been in the UFC fighting the best fighters in the world AND all the while being exposed to the American fanbase, many of which don't know anything past what the UFC shows them. He could have made himself more money behind UFC Fights and UFC marketing. He could have gotten paid just to show up at various fight cards that he wouldn't have been scheduled to fight on. Not to mention the UFC fan expos.

Fedor could have made himself a legend 10 times over. Now, we'll just look at his fight record and wonder what might have been. Even if he came to the UFC and didn't win a fight, those losses would still be crediable and respectable losses. Look at Randy Couture. His record isn't all that great but due to the fact that he has fought the best fighters in the world, won some and lost some, Randy is still considered a legend in MMA.

I'm not saying that Fedor isn't and won't remain a legend. He COULD have been a god.

Dana White on Rome is Burning

Lots of questions answered here.

Anderson Silva vs. Brock Lesnar

Dana White,

You DO NOT owe UFC fans an apology for Anderson Silva's performance. Nor do you have to make it up to us. Anderson owes the fans an apology. And not through that shit head interpreter/manager/ass kisser of his, Ed Soares. The last thing we need is some second hand apology. In my opinion, Silva doesn't care about the UFC or it's fans. And he probably doesn't give two shits about his own fans. I have never been a Silva fan but I do appreciate what he can do in the Octagon, I just wonder if we will ever see it.

Maybe Silva needs a challenge. I don't mean that in a light heavyweight way or even a match with GSP. I'm talking about Brock Lesnar. Why not? Hell, Anderson thinks he's so damn great and wonderful... Oh but I'm only dreaming. That piece of shit Ed Soares would shoot that down in a hot second because he knows Anderson would get is ass handed to him. But it would be vindication for all of us who had to sit through that fight last night. I think this would be the only time I would ever root for Lesnar, unless he was fighting Fedor.

This was the first Silva headlined PPV I've purchased. I'm not too happy about it the way it ended either. Neither were any of my friends. But we aren't mad at the UFC. We are mad at Anderson Silva. He's a piece of trash... And we want to see Brock Lesnar take out the trash.

Sincerely,
