Link doesn't work.

Link doesn't work.

Its the link you posted in the Gina Thread.

[ATRAIN]

lol I answered my own question by watching the rest of the video.

[Evan]

what happened? I didn't watch it all.

[ATRAIN]

what happened? I didn't watch it all.

A writer was asking about Bonner vs Liddell and what he thought about it and Bonner just stated that that he is climbing up the way Chuck is.

[ATRAIN]

When do they show MMA live on ESPN?

[Evan]

Just want to get this out there...

I am thinking that Cain or Carwin are next up for Randy if Randy chooses to keep going. It will be a no lose situation for Carin / Carwin and a great way for the UFC to launch them into top contender status.

Honestly there isn't much left for Randy and I am not sure there is enough left in his tank climb back up that ladder.

Hopefully he signs a personal services contract and sits ringside.

On the same day Brock Lesnar made his case for being the number two heavyweight in the world, Fedor Emelianenko, the number one heavyweight, suffered a rare loss in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Fedor, a 4-time world combat sambo champ, lost in the semifinals of the over 100kg division to Bulgarian wrestler Blagoi Ivanov at the 2008 World Combat Sambo Championships. Fedor lost on points 5 to 8. Ivanov moves on to to fight Germany's Stefan Janos in the finals.

Combat Sambo is a popular Russian sport which combines throws with limited striking and submissions.

Ivanov avenges a loss to Fedor from earlier this year. Below is the video of their encounter on February 15.

Ok im a big Brock mark as you all know but number 2 in the world......thats kind of a reach dont you think, especially after only 4 pro fights.

[Evan]

It’s a tough one to figure out…on one hand only 4 fights…on the other he beat Herring and Randy.

[GroundNPound]

Well, where would Randy have been ranked before he got beat? What HW do you think would be ahead of Brock right now?

So complicated….champion is champion but he didn't fight for so long. HW division in MMA sucks as a whole but Brock is certainly top 5 now. Maybe even higher. Nog, Fedor and Arlovski are certainly ahead of him.

AA will be number 1 by this time next year

[Evan]

If he beats Fedor there is no argument.

[ATRAIN]

If he beats Fedor there is no argument.

it will be AA number 1, Brock number 2

[dbreiden83080]

If he beats Fedor there is no argument.

The UFC really needs to get AA back but he is making a lot of money with Affliction these days.. He is in the same boat as Fedor contractually isn't he??

I dont mind him staying in Affliction as long as they stay afloat. Gives me another PPV to look forward too .
