Conflicting stories about Fedor's opponent . . . it'll either be Jeff Monson, or Hong Man Choi . . . or someone else crazy enough to step in the ring with the dude.

Fedor is going to need a step ladder to get to Choi's chin.

UFC 79 is going to be really good.

Liddell vs Wandy
Machida vs Soko
Rush vs Hughes


Can't wait to see it on MMAlinker.;)

I've struck out on all my picks for the last couple of big fights. I have no clue as to who is going to win.

[tbl]

Either way, Fedor is on his way down the charts. You can't keep fighting scrubs and stay on top. His stupid management couldn't get the deal done with Couture or Barnett. I know a lot of people want to blame Dana for the Couture deal, but how do you explain Barnett too?

I know it won't happen, but I wish either Monson or the freak Asian would knock him out.

It's almost comical. Wait, who am I kidding? It is comical!

holy crap that is a big dude!!!!!! You're right it is comical when I looked at the picture I laughed.

[KC//CRIMSON]

Fedor looked like a little monkey dangling from that giant's arm.;)

The thing is, Choi could have won if he hadn't kept giving Fedor his arm. I mean, learn at least some BASIC submission defense dude... Good grief.

How could he have won, by laying on him? Godzilla never had a chance.

[Sooner_Bob]

I honestly thought it might make it into the second round when Choi got out of the first arm bar. Then came the second one . . . doh!

[Cam]

Choi is one big mo fo.

[StoopTroup]

I'm gonna watch the video...

Kong is huge...the first time Fedor pulled him down on top of hisself I thought he was dead.

[StoopTroup]

Wow...that armbar was incredible.

In a way, yes. Lay on him, land a few punches (while not giving him your arm on a plate), let Fedor attempt a takedown and repeat the process.

I felt bad for the dude. You could tell he was scared as mess.

[StoopTroup]

It looked like Fedor could have easily broke both his arms to me...

[KC//CRIMSON]

Fedor and Randy shooting a commercial together. Foreshadowing?:cool:

Stop the video at the four second mark and see how much thicker Fedor is than Randy. Sick.

I really want to see this fight . . . or at the very least see Fedor fight Josh Barnett.
