Couture and Fedor are quite the prima donnas now. The two should join forces if they really want to buck the UFC's dominance. The UFC is weakest in the heavyweight division, so what young heavyweight would welcome the opportunity to train with Couture and Fedor. It seems that egos are getting in the way of making history here, and than includes Dana White. It seems that the heavies are more interested in show business than fighting.

And Fedor is active again and he will fight with a top ranked heavyweight who is Tim Silvya in july, and according to his manager he will fight in october against the winner of the fight betwen Rizzo and Barnett or the winner of the fight betwen Arlovski and Rothwel, and in new year´s eve in a superfight.

I am so pissed that UFC "bought" Pride, destroyed a gargantuan Japanese entertainment entity to cherry-pick their best fighters, throw away the better rules, piss off a whole nation, f-up getting Fedor, kowtow to sponsors (this knock out brought to you by Burger King@???!!!!!) and not make a deal to have the best color commentary team ever (Bas Rutten and Joe Rogen---MMA Gold). There are so many dropped balls I feel like I'm watching the GD Mets instead of one of the best MMA outlets ever. Watch out Dana, Mark Cuban is knocking down your door, babe.

Nog was better. Herring is awesome I agree. He clearly beat Kongo. the split decision was ridiculous. if the fight contniued Kongo would have been barfing blood - although he's a tough guy and took a shit oad of knees and stilll looked OK - but was outgunned outclassed by herring , the more welll rounded. fedor is not fighting cans. lindland gave rampage one of the best fights - a draw or even a ddecision for lindland would ahve not been surprising. choi is not a joke either. neither is hunt. watch some of their fights. In a way if fedor loses it could be to a freak like choi, hunt, sylvia - if they land that big one and finish. anyway i think that fedor should fight barnett - more deserving of a shot than couture as he has a better record against better fighters iMO and also s he annhilated couture. Are they friends does fedor not wanna fight him. I've always though he has the best shot , along with werdum and now gonzaga who could be a tough match up for fedor., big hits/kicks hard.... The american baseball is not 'the world series' nor is UFC the 'world championship' and god bless america - but it's just a nation - not the centre of the planet yea i agree it’s crazy to dis fedor’s competition, but at the same time i’m not down on sylvia either. he’s not well rounded but he’s big, good at what he does striking and takedown defense.
