He still found time to fight someone several weight classes below him and a freak with a growth disesase. With a rules change...
2006 was mostly lost due to injury. (otherwise he would've been in the Open Weight GP, which would've resulted in several good matchups)
2007 was mostly lost due to Pride/UFC issues.
Give him 2008 and then let's see where he's at.

Well yeah okay, but if it's realy fedor who wants an international fights and does not want the 'american' oragnization hold him and 'deciding' who he will fight?
I would also wish for the more hyped fights with the UFC opponents by Emelianenko.
I even got mad he got 'just' the rematch with Semmy. He will take him down again. I would be surprised if Semmy would win this, but Schield is accually a K-1 fighter more then the ultimate fighter. (Grapplers got the advatnage IMO)
All in all this is the last year Fedor can go full stage.
I don't understand what you are asking here. Could you re-phrase that?
add Bodog to the 2007 failure list...and several = 3...HW to MW = 2 :p
M-1 had to do some kind of K-1 fighter for NYE and Choi was what the fans there wanted. (and he was out of the GP early and uninjured)
or the whole thing![]()
thats 3 1/2 years of excuses resulting in 1 fight assuming this streak ends with Randy.
Somehow everyone else manages...
a broken hand isn't an excuse...he fought with it many times before getting it repaired at the cyborg shop...
Many others haven't managed well either...where is Gomi? Before Yarennoka many top guys hadn't done anything in 2007...some still haven't.
a broken hand doesn't take 3 1/2 years to heal.
Those other guys are irrelevant to the discussion. Fedor is supposed to be the alpha male of MMA.
Maybe he should get a new spine at the cyborg shop....
I kid I kid!
lol...I didn't say it does f'r!! Your math is so bunk...
Andre Arlovski vs Jake O'Brien...thoughts?
In one of the emelianenko interviews he said that in the UFC there are mainly american fightes and he wanted to fight an international fighters on different levels (prob. techiniques).
As for UFC - I do not know what kind of insight he have on that organization. But maybe he does not want to be in hand of american organization. (which, I can only assume, can dictade him what to do).
But I'm putting a big 'if' on that one.
btw. boxing got so many belts it's not even funny.
ps. - I have so bad typos. Instead of 'big' I wrote 'bof' - I got a stomach virus. But damn not a head virus.
I know you didn't, I am just saying its one excuse on top another his camp has.
I agree with what you said earlier, to me this says see ya. This will be 4 snooze fights in a row with him.
O'Brien can take him.
Well, I think the UFC will naturally have more American fighters since it is an American company just like PRIDE had more Japanese fighters.
But no org has more international fighters than the UFC, today.
And keep in mind my argument spans from the Mirko fight until the supposed Randy fight. Roughly 3 1/2 years.
If that means see ya to Arlovski well then damn lets see AA fight fedor.
I know what you're getting at...you're assuming that he doesn't fight Barnett or somebody else this year. We've talking about Arlovski now...
How the mighty have fallen...a LnP win for O'Brien would be a huge kick in the nuts to AA. I'm guessing that negotiations didn't go well for an extension, so this is what Dana is hoping for. M-1, etc will be all over him if he ends up as a free agent though. Maybe Fedor vs AA later this year...afterall, THAT was what people wanted to see when the "Pride vs UFC" debate was raging...![]()
Sounds good to me!!!![]()
He did it to Herring, but Arlovski has looked horrible lately. Maybe O'Brien wont need to lay and pray.
wow. hah
or a can or two mixed in.![]()
It truly is amazing.
2 summers ago Arlovki was the great UFC hope for a legit HW. He was the poster boy for the UFC HW division. PRIDE had…so much…the UFC only had the monster with the fanged mouth guard who somehow became a timid "scared to lose" fighter.
I am not sure he will be in M-1. Something is going wrong with the "Fedor Rental Service" They have signed nobody of note. My guess is they thought they had funding and that either dried up or never appeared. I wonder how many problems Fedor taking that NYE fight without M-1's blessing caused? M-1 is a collection of people. One person rocks the boat and I imagine many people get disrupted.
If Fedor fights Arlovski or Josh I will shut up.
yea funny![]()
not your fault. English is a tough language.
M-1 signed Eddie Alvarez fool!!(kidding, he's actually a good signing)
It's definitely not going like they thought...
Even Monte is saying that Fedor vs Randy is looking dim...
No you're right. Eddie Alvarez is a solid signing.
Yeah something went terribly wrong from the day of the press conference to within a few weeks after. They were supposed to have a fight card announced ASAP.
It's not.
It's as easy as you can get.
Try to learn polish which is one of the most difficult language in the world.
Typos is normal to me as I try not to correct myself, just typing with the flow, and I got pretty fat fingers ...
btw. there are some difficult names I do not want to check how they are written, and that what happened.
You wanna fight?![]()
j/k
