What a bogus and boring card. M-1 loses credibility every single week. Check Mark Kerr’s track record for the last couple of years. the dude is finished. And whats this special sparring match? I can’t wait until Brett Rogers knocks Fedor out. That is, if they don’t pay Rogers to take a fall. Take notes folks, this is how you self-destruct an organization. Its good that there are other fighting organizations in the mainstream, but you’re not stealing any business with wack cards like these.
Wow, nothing like lining up obvious cans for your star to run through M-1.
gegard and fedor having a sparing match thats meantle what if fedor tries as hard as he can
Wow, such an awesome card even Ether is rendered speechless. Never though I’d see the day…
Do M1 believe if they keep putting on these ‘exhibition’ sparring events that people will get excited and want to pay lots of money for their stars?
*sigh*
It’s because of his affiliation with M1 that I will probably not get to see myboy Gegard come over to the UFC to see if he can hang with the Rampage’s of this world
Fail
It’s M-1 Global we’re talking about here, so what can any of us expect? Pushover mismatches and swerves are their stock in trade, so of course we get guys like Mark Kerr on the card.
Next we’ll be seeing early UFC alums like Paul Varlens taking fights for this sh!t-awful promotion. I can almost see it now…
M-1 Global Presents Strike-farce : Obscurity Rising, featuring former UFC stars like Marco Ruas, Dave Beniteau, Carlos Newton, and a special striking exhibition between Tank Abbott and Faux-dor…
Amen CK I feel that, this is wack!
Hey don’t forget Scott Ferrozo he should have to re-match Tank before Fat Abbott gets a shot at Soda Popinsky.
