The IFL matches really surprised me. I thought Hordeski wass going to win along with Benji Radich. Anyone surprised that Fedor grabbed a LONG limb and snapped it. Best pound for pound-GIMMEE A BREAK! Bring on Couture!!!!!!
Oh so you think randy could do better?
I got videos for Yarennoka, UFC 79, and IFL on my blog
(And Randy would do a TON better then Choi)
Fedor will not be able to sub Randy so easy…and Randy will do damage if he gets top position on a takedown.
I would still pick Fedor, but it would be a WAR
randy would do better, the guy fedor fought this morning shouldn’t have been in their. Guaranteed that randy is making a strategy and is training his balls off for this fight as we speak. Everybody said gonzaga was tear his head off too, and look what happened in that one. There is going to be alot of shocked people when those two finally fight. Nobody is unbeatable
wow the ifl was pretty good i seen some of the fights also its nice 2 see fedor win as well
Fedor can win all he wants to against 2nd tier opponents, which unfortunately is all he’ll continue to get until late in 2008 (unless he gets Barnett). Not signing with the UFC will be a regret for him later in his career IMO.
At least it’s only a 2 year contract. Hopefully time it’s up he’ll want to come to UFC.
