[Evan]

On and by the way lads....

what does it tell to you when Fedor's team has obviously set up distribution for merchandise in America?

Did Fedor's team design that shirt? no. That shirt screams American design.

Gross and Jordan Breen are the best that Sherdog has IMO. Breen just might know more about MMA worldwide than anybody...

When I saw Gross in Vegas off in a side room interviewing Fedor 1 on 1 last Oct I knew he was connected...

[Evan]

The only problem with Breen is the way he talks in that excited breathing in voice. Its has an odd tempo.

The first show I heard I kept thinking he sounded like that girl from American Pie and some emailer sent in a note saying the same thing. lol

[Evan]

I thought Fedor recently said Ivan does not train? I guess it was lost in translation and he really said "fight" and I am assuming "yet" was in there somewhere as well.

LEONARD I am still trying to ensure we get a stream to the M-1 fight and anyone else who wants to see it. Not sure I have it figured out but I am trying....looks doubtful.

Althought this is an obscure Russian league with first time fighters for the most part so I am not sure it will be a problem in the first place. lol

local time when does it start? 10 am?

[LEONARD]

Crocop movie coming out Nov 13th??

I think it starts at noon central time...

I recall Fedor saying that Ivan wasn't training anymore too. Combat Sambo is basically MMA, so I guess he's not done yet...

[Evan]

question for you guys...

sherdog.com

news or an editorial site?

After the "open letter to dana white" was posted I consider it completely editorial now.

now on the other hand, mmaweekly.com. News.

[Evan]

AND JUST TO BE CLEAR...

I am not insulting sherdog, just curious what you guys think. I think sherdog.com is great.

sherdog.net on the other hand.....

[LEONARD]

now on the other hand, mmaweekly.com. News.

Both IMO...

Gross said on Beatdown Radio today that he meant it to be exactly as if he were writing a letter to Dana only...

AND JUST TO BE CLEAR...

sherdog.net on the other hand.....

Sherdog.net is the reason Swick is fighting Goulet...

Take the forums for what they're worth. Ignore the idiots/trolls and there are some pretty knowledgeable people posting there...

[dallaskd]

Swick will destroy Goulet

[Evan]

Bisping is training with Rampage. Holy SH-T. I thought he was all of the Wolfslair and only the Wolfslair.

PR ground work for the Bisping Vs Hamil fight.

http://www.ufc.com/index.cfm?fa=news.detail&gid=6875

I am not a big fan of this fight. I love Bisping as a prospect but its time to step up the match ups after this.

And I admit I am a fan of Hamil as well.

[LEONARD]

Cool...

I like Bisping and Hamill too, but not this matchup.

[desflood]

Swick will destroy Goulet

Yes, it's a shame I like Goulet, but he doesn't have much of a chin. Just exactly the kind of weakness Mike Swick likes to capitalize on.

[Evan]

slow slow news for the next few weeks. I kinda like it. Get a little break.

If you don't listen to Mauro's show, check it out. He's a cussing mofo, which is funny to me. He talks MMA, boxing, and WWE...so you have to pick and choose what shows you listen to. (he had Riggs on his last show)

*sheds a tear

Pride was so great...

I still have Shockwave 2006 on the DVR...I watch it occasionally when the DVR runs dry...

I saw the Silva vs Fujita match. That one is up there with my favorite matches.

Fujita taking those soccer kicks at the end, then just getting up and walking back to the corner like nothing was wrong after it was stopped...crazy...

[Evan]

I have to listen to all of mine 1 day late on my ipod

[Evan]
