    To be against former K1 fighter Jaisingh Deep. He has a 40-10 kickboxing record and is 2-0 in mma. What do you guys think about this fight?

    It's a **** fight.... But personally I'm just happy to see Fedor fight again. 3 1/2 years out is a long time. Why are people complaining?

    I'm also happy to see him back in action. The choice of opponent is poor but it was to be expected since most of the interesting matchups are with guys locked into UFC contracts.

    Fedor already got a taste of the UFC, it didn't taste so good...

    Jaideep does have an impressive win over Kharitonov in K-1 though..... Could have faced someone a lot worse.

    I don't like atg's coming back. Usually what happens is they end up being a shadow of themselves and merely tarnish their legend. Then the younger crowd can't understand why us older guys ever considered them special in the first place.

    This. ^

    Fedor was special because in addition to his skill he had a whiff of Marciano about him. Now that he's been living the soft life for a while, I have to question whether he has the fire left to compete.

    Not sure what fighting a bum does for him. He might as well come to UFC, and fight at 205. White, and Fertita need to let him do his Sambo tournaments or whatever, and sign him.

    Saying that about probably the greatest MMA fighter in history, officially makes you a teenybopper, who doesn't have a ****ing clue.

    Read Fedor was looking for 2.5 mil a fight. The UFC isn't paying anybody close to that amount.
