Fedor goes Down

Post by S197 »

Not sure how many MMA fans are on the board but I was disappointed to see Fedor lose. It was bound to happen, and being undefeated for 10 years isn't going to be repeated ever again, but a loss to Werdum?

Just goes to show anything can happen in the octagon. I view this similar to the Serra/St. Pierre fight, if they re-match, they'll be no doubt who is the better fighter and who had a really really lucky night.

I don't watch Strikeforce but I guess he was supposed to be invincible. Surprising for a submission in the 1st round though

I personally thought he was overated then again I didn't see or hear much about him until his last fight. If he was so good why not go to UFC?

Because his management company (which he is part owner in) wanted a co-promotional deal to get exposure in the United States for themselves, the UFC wasn't willing to do it. (Strikeforce was, and before that Affliction. That is the "M-1 Global" that you saw on the banners/intro of the event last night)

Actually the fight wasn't in the Octagon. UFC has the Octagon trademarked. Strikeforce uses a cage but i believe its one big Giant circle. Fedor should have went into UFC long ago. Now with the loss if UFC still wants him they will get him alot more cheap. I say If Fedor doesn't want to come no Big Deal. The UFC has some very good heavyweights of there own. Lesnar, Dos Santos, Valasquez and Carwin just to name a few.

BTW Shane Carwin vs Brock Lesnar this Saturday Night! This should be a great fight and i can see it going either way!
