The UFC is MMA

[Liquidrob]

I hate to say it and I know people here already know this, but funny story from the other day

I was in another area for work, so this guy I used to know from another company is there, we start talking about work and stuff, we talk a little football than and he brings up MMA, I usually dont at work because no one knows shit anyway, but he said 'MMA' so there was hope, usually people say 'UFC' or 'Ultimate Fighting'

He was like 'Yeah, I get all the PPVs, watch it all the time' etc...

So I say 'You going to watch Fedor vs Rogers next month, its on CBS'

Than he says 'Fedor? Never heard of him'

:flush:

 

[CrimsonGhost56]

haha its the same way with people i work with. mention something non-ufc or a fighter not named brock lesnar they have no clue what your talking about.

 

[Anthony]

Brock Lesnar is the best

 

[Liquidrob]

after November 7th the world of MMA will change forever

 

[SHOGUN]

I know people just like that. I don't even bother talking much MMA with too many friends and co-workers. Maybe 2 or 3 guys.

 

[Liquidrob]

Brock Lesnar is the best

My official HW rankings

1. Brock Lesner - UFC Champion of the world
2. Frank Mir - Beat Brock once
3. Heath Herring - Went to a desicion with Brock
4. Randy Couture - Lasted almost 2 rounds with Brock
5. Min Soo Kim - Made it past a minute with Brock
6. Shane Carwin - Accepted a fight with Brock
7. Fedor Emelianenko - No real losses on his record
8. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira - Will fight Brock next
9. Marcio Cruz - Beat Mir who has a win over Brock
10. Bobby Lashley - Has College and Pro wrestling background like Brock

No Kimbo Slice on your list is appalling. Not to mention forgetting Wes Sims.. whos beat Frank Mir twice.

lol, Kimbo almost made it, but Lashley edges him out with his pro wrestling experinece, Kimbo is right at 12, Roy would be 11

For the sake of the sport as a whole (not that any of this will affect UFC), Fedor not only has to win, but has to look impressive doing it.

The "Fedor? Never heard of him" crowd, and the people who may have heard the name but know nothing else about him, will not be impressed with a guy who looks like your middle aged neighbor with the average body and balding head, unless he backs up the hype and beats the imposing looking large black man with the mohawk in impressive fashion.

Things working against Fedor:

-No charisma
-No english
-Boring promos, talking about God, working hard, and hanging out with his parents

I'm really hoping he dominates Rogers in a Zulu/Sylvia type way, and comes off this fight looking like the Russian Cyborg Killer Silent Assasin Guy that we all know he is.

EDIT: Should Rogers win, we'll get to hear Dana cut the "Fedor? Fuck Fedor, he just lost to Mr. Rogers the Tire Salesman. He sucks." promo.

The best 'promo' Fedor ever gave was back in his Pride days, I believe he said something like 'The person across from me in the ring is in the way of me feeding my family, he must be elimanated', thats what he needs to say now a days, but probably wont

Dana is already setting up his lines, at the end says he doesnt want to see Fedor get KO's by 'Buck' Rogers, and calls Fedor overrated

[CrimsonGhost56]

As someone who has the most overrated pos in the biz or should I say two most overrated pieces of shit, Kimbo and Brock, Dana should shut his fucking mouth. Did he say VSN was a sponsor?

Brock is not overrated .... top HW in the world not named Fedor... he may be over-hyped but as far as straight up skills go he is not overrated. beating 2 top ten heavies back to back is impressive

 

[SHOGUN]

Josh Barnett.....?

 

[JeremyHight]

Josh Barnett.....?

He's arguably the best HW that pharmaceuticals can produce.

 

[CrimsonGhost56]

Josh Barnett.....?

.....?

josh had the biggest fight of his career and threw it all away

 

[Liquidrob]

Nog maybe, no clear cut number 2 IMO, I guess Brock can lay claim at this point, but only has a couple fights

 

[CrimsonGhost56]

Nog?

really could go with either but only reason brock gets the nod is cause of the belt around his waist. thats why im really hoping for brock-nog. could be a fight between the two best heavyweights not named fedor.

ay yay yay.....

lmao @ this.



If Fedor loses....Hell be historys greatest athlete noones ever heard of.

Am I right that the only highlights that can be shown are Affliction ones ?
They cant hype him up with some montage of his Pride rapings right ?

I don't even know about the Affliction highlights anymore since the UFC/Affliction "merger".

They can maybe show the Bodog fight vs. Lindland, a couple of NYE fights vs. freak show giant Hong Man Choi & pro wrestler Yuji Nagata, or they can go waaaaay back and get the RINGS footage which would hardly be relevent or fresh.

Everything else was PRIDE & Affliction, although IIRC they've showed the Sylvia fight already, but that may have been before UFC did the buyout.

 

[Liquidrob]

I believe he still owns his affliction rights, they already showed the AA HL, so I would assume that the Tim fight is the same

Dont know if anything has changed though

 

[CrimsonGhost56]

fedor owns the rights to his affliction fights so they can show anything from there, but everything else affliction the UFC bought. that was one of the sticking points in the ufc-fedor negotations, fedor wanted exclusive rights to all his highlights.
