| Dana Whites Says That He Sees Fedor Coming To The UFC Someday Posted: 7/5/2009 4:02:18 PM | | Nah, Dana has a problem with the specifics of the contract ... the things Fedor's team is trying to get that are peripheral to Fedor and the actual fight. Like agreeing to sign Russian fighters and staging an UFC event in Russia. It's not just a straight Fedor will fight Couture and make X amount of dollars contract. | |

he didn't look so great against his last opponent. Yes he won but Arvloski had him going. I think he gets beat in UFC and if it takes 3 years to get here, forget it.
Had him going.
He landed one soild punch, and that was an uppercut when Fedor clinched.
The rest of the head shots were either slipped or barely made contact.
Fedor made contact tho. And when he did....everyone knew. | |

I'm not sure what you're laughing about. Everyone - with the exception of yourself - had Arlovski beating Fedor decisively until Fedor got the KO. This would be like Frank Mir trying to say that he wasn't in toruble with Brock Lesnar in their first match.
"Had him going" is a very accurate description of the match. | |
|
| Dana Whites Says That He Sees Fedor Coming To The UFC Someday Posted: 7/6/2009 6:30:40 AM | He didn't have him going.
I've seen exchanges in that fight in slow motion and Fedor was slipping punches.
If he wasn't.....then his face would have shown it.
He didn't so much as have a scatch on his face after that fight.
And this is the same guy that got busted open from one punch by Matt Lindland.
Fedor was avoiding the big shots......and then made AA look like an ass.
The whole thing has been so hyped up.
People act like there was no doubt that had he not thrown the knee, he would have won.
The fight lasted 3 minutes and 14 seconds.  | |

You can go ahead and add me to that exception also. Arlovski was outpointing him up to when he got KOed but I wouldn't go as far as to say he was winning decisively. And Dwyane made a good point: Fedor was slipping the majority of those shots so he really wasn't in any kind of trouble.
Now if that would have continued for five rounds - IF - then Arlovski might have won but it never got quite that far........ that's the beauty of MMA........and what makes Fedor the one of the best.....
Also I don't know if Mir was really in that much trouble against Brock either. I think Mir was willing to let Brock take him to the ground and risk taking a few shots knowing he could take advantage of Brock's inexperience and catch him in a quick submission (which he did) as opposed to dancing around the ring for five rounds trying to outpoint Brock while trying to avoid those giant fists and/or takedowns.
A calculated risk that paid off  | |

| Dana Whites Says That He Sees Fedor Coming To The UFC Someday Posted: 7/21/2009 10:34:57 AM | | Fedor will come for a one fight deal, thats it. Dana needs Fedor and does thin hes the best, he cut up Wandy when he wasin pride and when he came to the UFC he pumped him up. Fedor would run through the UFC HW division. IMO | |

| Dana Whites Says That He Sees Fedor Coming To The UFC Someday Posted: 7/22/2009 1:39:37 PM | If Vitor gets the fight against Fedor, Vitor will be smashed; but I know Vitor has wanted to fight Fedor for a long time----let him have that fight if he wants it. Fedor will be in the UFC sooner or later---it's just a matter of time. He can waste time in DREAM or Sengoku for awhile; but, eventually, he will be in the UFC.
As for Affliction, they were on their last legs even before the bad news about Barnett. They wouldn't have made enough to stay afloat even if Barnett had remained on the card. Now though, the nails are in the coffin. In the immortal words of the not-immortal Mike Goldberg: ....AND IT'S ALL OVER! | |

| Dana Whites Says That He Sees Fedor Coming To The UFC Someday Posted: 7/22/2009 10:37:19 PM | Josh screwed everyone!!!! This was the make or break fight for affliction. so he screwed them, the fighters..the fans and esp me!!! And he is screwed now!!! anyone want cheap affliction tickets?? I heard there asking Monson.. I really dont care who he fights.. if its not Josh..
Seriously I have badass vip tickets for sale.. cheap!!! | |
|
| Dana Whites Says That He Sees Fedor Coming To The UFC Someday Posted: 7/23/2009 7:30:41 AM | Josh is just garbage.
I guess he knew he needed the roids to save himself from the beat down that was upon him.
Vitor is fighting Fedor.
They should have just pulled Fedor from the card since they couldn't get a HW replacement. | |

| Dana Whites Says That He Sees Fedor Coming To The UFC Someday Posted: 7/23/2009 11:57:54 AM | | rmember everybody, COUTURE has already beaten vitore, he was the first to tko him. i dont think fedore would have anyproblems with him. as for fedore in the ufc i would love to see it ONLY if they would let fedore fight like he did when he fought tim silvia, watch that fight again and look how much it was like a real fight, whens the last time you saw somebody in the ufc drop to the fetal position and take a beating like that?!!! it just dont happen anymore, before long youll see dana white makeing a press conferance apologizeing bcause somebody got punched in a fight. IMHO | |

| Dana Whites Says That He Sees Fedor Coming To The UFC Someday Posted: 7/23/2009 1:44:30 PM | Heath Herring uses the turtle in fights at times.
He did against Lesnar.
O, and Randy and Fedor aren't the same fights. Plus he had a bit of time to prepare.
Fedor has been preparing for a grappler not a striker.
That crap has bad written all over it.
Jeff Monson is trying to get the fight btw. | |
|

| Dana Whites Says That He Sees Fedor Coming To The UFC Someday Posted: 7/24/2009 10:05:41 PM | | Fedor and Monson is a joke.. first of all it doesnt matter cause Affliction is cancelled.... I actually am a huge Monson fan.. Chokin out people is cool.. but Barnett beat Monson..I really dont think Monson has any kind of chance with Fedor.. TKO big time.. | |
|
| Dana Whites Says That He Sees Fedor Coming To The UFC Someday Posted: 7/25/2009 12:49:25 PM | | tina youre rite, monson really dont have a chance with fedore i dont guess. i really dont think the babyfaced assassin did either imho. i really think that couture has a chance with fedore if the match could somehow happen soon. i dont think vitore could get fedore either, and remember couture shut belfort down the first time too. | |

| Dana Whites Says That He Sees Fedor Coming To The UFC Someday Posted: 7/25/2009 3:17:37 PM | | No challenge for Brock? There are a number of fighters who could give Brock problems given the right strategy. And if Fedor ever does sign with the UFC, the one thing you can guarantee is that it won't be a one fight deal. Dana has said many times that he'll never sign anyone to such a deal. | |
|
| Dana Whites Says That He Sees Fedor Coming To The UFC Someday Posted: 7/25/2009 5:47:11 PM |
i really think that couture has a chance with fedore
Well, I would like to think so, too. But it's worth noting that Barnett beat Couture before. So, if you don't give much of a chance to Barnett.............
I think Brock would have a very good chance against Fedor. His power and speed are no joke. | |
