		<description>Guys.. you talk about Fedor having a not so huge number of wins.. then mention sanctioned vs. unsanctioned fights.. so I guess you must not be aware he fights pretty much anyone he can in Russia?

I&#039;m sure he has hundreds.. if not thousands of fights in his lifetime.  One of the reasons he won&#039;t sign with UFC.. Dana won&#039;t let him keep fighting in Russia if he does.. soooo

Fedor rapes peoples faces.  That is the way he is.</description>

		<description>Earlier this year, Beard launched an attack on another long-time business partner eModa.com, an online retail giant.  This site practically kick-started ‘Affliction’ selling literally tens of thousands of the Skull obsessed shirts when the brand hit the market back in late Spring 2003

Emoda.com was the first online retailer and gave instant gratification to consumers who saw their favorite fights all of a sudden wearing the distinctive apparel into the octagon. 

At first it was a great partnership, eModa had the access to the trend conscious consumer and Affliction produced the trendiest shirt ever to hit the mainstream Dunbar adds” 2008 we planned to increase Then out of the blue the relationship went sour and very similar to the Couture situation, it was Beard’s jealousy and paranoia that got the better of him and destroyed the eModa/Affliction relationship!

The reason: eModa (just to remind you a retailer) put what Todd felt was a rival clothing brand up on the site.  Sources close to Affliction camp said that Todd was not unhappy eModa.com sold brands that he felt competed with Affliction, Which were other brands who also tapped into the professional fighting market. Nevertheless eModa.com tried to resolve the situation but Beard’s temper was out of control. He began bugging Dan Kogan’s phone and threatening him – an Affliction insider said he actually had a picture of Dan on a dartboard in his office next to that of Dana White on another one! I guess Kim Couture has her own dartboard frame now hence the restraining order! Todd then sued eModa for Affliction products he had previous sold to the online retailer however when it appeared he may not win that suit he then sued eModa for selling counterfeit Affliction products. 

 Either way Todd Beard seems to have no concern when it comes to threatening others even the UFC HW Champion’s wife! His violent tendencies and erratic behavior in business make him a very dangerous person. 

--eModa is still involved in the lawsuit with Beard and Dunbar adds “it is unfortunate Mr. Beard allows his emotion and temper to dictate his business because his brand was in the top 50 out of the more than 200 designer eModa.com carry.” “eModa has done several photo shoots with UFC fighters including Randy Couture.  “He (Randy Couture) and his wife are stand up people and were a pleasure to work with.”</description>

		<description>@Ryan in NY, i agree and how can u not, that is what we all want Fedor to do, but even tho he isnt exactly old he isnt going to fight forever and he should fight more than twice a year, and should fight the best guy avaliable</description>

He is definitely good and I don&#039;t mean to imply that he isn&#039;t.  I just don&#039;t think you can say he&#039;s the best fighter when he&#039;s not fighting the best competition.  Across all of MMA I think you need to decide where the best heavy weights are and that&#039;s where Fedor needs to be fighting in order to justify the P4P title.  Fighting anywhere else doesn&#039;t earn him that title.  Personally... I think the best and most deep HW division is in the UFC so he&#039;d need to fight guys like Nog, Mir, Couture and Lesnar.  Not sure I&#039;d see any of those guys beating him but I think they&#039;re among the best HW&#039;s.

Anderson Silva is a good example... he gets fewer questions about his P4P title because he fights often and he fights the best guys that the UFC has at MW.</description>

		<description>Keep it clean and keep them honest.  I wonder how deep is Mr. Donald Trumpt involved in Mr. Birds&#039; dirty business?  Should have not he know of the character of his associates?  But, he has much to much money to be questioned.

I love the sport UFC sponsors.  I hope it will not allow any black eyes involved other than in the octagone.

		<description>No he isn&#039;t maybe in your little sanctioned fights he is 11~0 but in real fights in 459 ~ 0 just ask him

Or the classic rook move Rickson by armbar

For a minute tho there was this awesome article in Fight! Mag with Rickson and him explain the lineage of Gracie Jui~Jitsu and for people that don&#039;t know about Hielo and why a Kimura is called a Kimura its a good read...

in my town we have a Royce jj training center it would be fantastic if one day one of the &quot;uppers&quot; of the Gracie clan would come and stop by I would like to meet Rickson and/or Royce

Relax Dbiz its all bueno</description>
