It really needs to be a cage those because I hate the rings so much. Cages provide for much better fights.

Cage is i think more suited for MMA, but i disagree, IMO ring provides much better fights.

also because its a ring, im hoping there is no elbows, i'd hate to see fedor/ or anybody else loose by a cut. Im sure if elbows were allowed sylvia would traget that.

I love watching MMA in a cage, how you can put them up against the fence, fight for position, underhooks, single legs, double legs, it seems a little harder in a ring.

The only problem with a cage, is that is seems a bit too street fighter. Trying to get friends to watch it, they turn off when they see the cage, thinking it is too brutal.


I hope it is in a ring.

The question is, Fedor was so dominate with soccer kicks and knees to the head, this will be in Tim's favour, that he will be able to turtle up...

We will wait and see.

The point of the ring is that it centers the action and you can't use it as a weapon. Which is why it will always be the superior environment for fights. However the cage sells better in America and I'm sure they would use it if it weren't for a certain main eventer who is more used to the ring.

Fedor didn't use soccer kicks and knees to the head to win alot of fights, he used arm bars, chokes, and kimura's alot though lol.
