I think stylistically he just wont be used to it, and he hasnt had much practice at using them really. Anyway, just a thought, could be wrong. On the Fedor GnP:

The reality is that I really expect this fight to take place if the UFC manages to sign the Russian and I would look forward to it. The fight goes like this: "Lets get it on" or whatever they are saying now that Big John is gone. Tim is scared to death, he throws out a lazy jab, Fedor closes the distance, Body Lock, Fedor uses his world class hips to manuever Tim down to the ground. Fedor then pushes Tim up against the cage and unleashes the nasties ground n Pound ever seen in mma. Just imagine him stuffing Tim against the cage and doing what he always does only this time with elbows incorporated.... Thats a scary thought and I dont think Tim Sylvia would stand a chance at getting past the 1st round! Stylistically, Fedor is a nightmare for Tim, not vice versa as reports have stated. Remember how stupid Tim looked after the 25 minute beating that Randy gave him, when his 1 eye was all purple and his other cheek bone had a big mouse? Just imagine what he would look like after 1 round with Fedor, thats really scary. If the UFC wants to introduce Fedor to the mainstream crowd that doesn't know about him, match him up with Sylvia for his 1st fight and after Sylvia gets demolished, promoting a Fedor fight will be easier than a promoting a Liddell fight in Vegas!

B.W: I agree with everythiong you said. Fedor does restate the same things in a lot of his interviews. Good to hear that he has plans on fighting Barnett and that they are friends. Also, I am pretty sure Fedor and Dana have never spoke face to face. Fedor was in Vegas but his management handles the negotiations and I dont believe that Fedor was present. I wouldnt leave my home country where I am a god, either. Especially to come to the USA, where they will be you if you stand still for 10 seconds. thanks for the update john. but it seems like the same old stuff. i wonder who did this interview? he didnt ask to many tough or indetail questions. i hope when fedor said that he only knew b.j. from the ratings, they werent mmaweekly’s. i agree that fedor never talks trash about other fighters, but dosent seem to know alot about them, just what he reads. i dont blame for not moving, he’s a star in russia. i would have like to have seen the interviewer ask him about his thoughts on all the skeptisism on his recent lack of quality opponenets and lenghty inactivity at times. he said the ufc’s contract was one-sided but didnt mention m1’s contract and their difficulties. maybee he couldnt. i still think fedor needs to be a little more open. i wonder if he and dana have ever met and talked face to face or if it was just his managers?
