This Guy is Scared Of Brock and the UFC

That guy is not scared. He just does not have to be a slave to the UFC.

 

UFC fans are like spoil children. They all emulate Dana. When they cant get someone to "play" with them they immediately discredit them and call them every name under the sun. Im sure Fedor is quaking in his boots at the prospect of facing Brock. Fedor a small heavy who could probably make 205 has fought giants like Schilt Hunt Choi Goodridge all massive heavies but he running scared of Brock and the rest of the big guns in the UFC.....

Matter of fact why doesnt Brock sign with Strike Force?

 

Fedor is head shoulders better than anyone Brock has faced. Fedor by arm bar rnd 2.

 

It wouldnt even got that far. Brock would either get smashed to **** on his feet or from the mount or submitted with an armbar before he even realised whats going on. Fedor is an exceptional mixed martial artists. Watching him is like watching a prime Mike Tyson or Ali. I get tingles almost. The man is incredible.

 

win or lose...you can't take away the fact that he had a fantastic run...his career is unparalleled in the sport.

I wish him the best in strikeforce but it's still a shame that he isn't in the ufc.

 

Why? Strikeforce have a TV deal. Apart from all this interest in a rookie like Brock who else is there?

 

I don't think anybody actually believes Fedor is scared of Lesnar, I certainly do not; I don't think he is "scared" of any fighter.

I am concerned that he, more realisticaly his management, are not concerned with doing what a champion should do, fight the best available, and fight the next best available after that, and the next one after that, until he loses or retires.

I think Fedor Inc (when I say this I mean his management and the business side of his brain) realizes his record is a huge part of his selling point, so taking fights that are not championship material can add to that appeal with less risk.

He is obviously willing to fight anybody, that can't be stressed enough, but adding some less than championship level fights in between and in addition to his truely challenging fights to make both immediate money with the payday and future money by adding to his mystique, seems to be a part of the business model.

I believe that the UFC deal not getting done is not down to ducking Lesnar, but I also think the business model of mixing real championship level fights with fights that are well below that standard has a big part to play in it.

 

That is a great comparison. Fedor is the perfect MMA fighter.

 

You are just as bad, and at times worse than people who believe Fedor is scared. You think he is above fighting the best guys; that his accomplishments mean he no longer needs to take fights that affirm his present day status. His accomplishments have already made him the best HW ever, but the best HW ever doesn't just automatically stay the best HW in the present day.

At some point Fedor will not be the best HW fighting, he may stay the best of all time, but there will have to be a day when somebody overtakesh im in the present, be it through retirement or loss.

Brock didn't sign with Strikeforce because the UFC is bigger, pays better, and has the resources to offer him better consistent challenges.

 

Even Ali and Tyson lost in their prime, nothing is impossible.

 

the opening poster is just looking to stir some ****. Clearly a fighter of Fedor's calibre isnt afraid of anyone.

 

Agreed.

 

He is being sarcastic; although he is just looking to stir **** because those of us who thought who wanted Fedor to sign with the UFC and fight Brock is actually saying he is scared of Brock.

In his mind if you don't worship Fedor no matter what he does, and hate the UFC no matter what it does, you know nothing about MMA and think Fedor is scared.


It is a total strawman argument.

 

Thats absolute rubbish. I dont think ANYTHING of the sort. What i dont appreciate is bull**** fans repeating the same crap that Dana spouts as though the UFC is the defacto standard for MMA. Bottom line is its not. There heavyweight division sucks balls. Last i checked Fedor was a heavyweight. If he can get a better deal elsewhere and fight good competition elsewhere good luck to him. He has his OWN interests to look after and has more than paid his dues to this sport.

And dont chat ****. Brock signed orginally with the K1. He only signed with the UFC because Hero's became defunct and he could get more money in the UFC because Dana was willing to throw it at him to help his marketing machine. This is a business first. Guys seem to casually ignore that fact when talking about Fedor.

As for the best current heavy thats a semantic argument. Last i looked he wiped the floor with Arlovski earlier this year. Everyone cooly seems to have forgotten this fact. Now theres all this speculation about what has he done lately. Well lately he was signed to fight Barnett. Was that not better than a Lesnar fight? Matter of fact the fight could still happen at NYE. Assuming it does that makes all this bitching and whining completely futile. And the only reason why the topic was raised because Dana's sheep bleet as soon as there told to.
