i think this fight is going be hard for fedor, and if he loses the whole randy vs fedor thing would not matter anymore

Fedor> anyone

Im pumped for the Misaki and Akiyama fight though!

Someone said on another site that the Fedor fight was not going to allow knees. Have any of you guys heard that...I have not?

if fedor dont get this to the ground i think fedor may get KOed, he as not fought in a while and the guy he is fightin is KO ready

and i think the size is going be big in this fight, for those who dont know who he is fightin, this guy made sapp look like a kid in his win over sapp

7'2 385 last i hear he was

what happened to arona fighting?

Since we know Arona doesnt own a shirt, I think during one of the press conferences or one of the formal meetings Arona walked in without a shirt, but since it was a "No shirt, no shoes, no service" type of meeting, Ricardo was taken off the card.

Hopefully the Brazilian Tiger will fight soon, he hasnt fought in a while.

so if Fedor loses then Fedor = washed up

if Fedor wins can we start calling him the Giant Killer?

Knees are allowed, just not knees to the head on the ground for the Fedor/HMC fight because of the massive size difference between the fighters. This was quite common in Pride when there was huge weight differences between fighters for safety.

No if he wins no one will care, he'll still be fighting "nobodies".
