I think he means Tim Sylvia, no?
I never thoug Arlovski had a glass chin, he just got caught. Anyone would go down after a punch like the ones that hit him non?
Has Barnett gon to Pro Wrestling? He was never the sucess he should have been I felt as he's very talented. He obviously feel's he need's help...
Fedor's management are really taking a risk here. If When Feor's beaten he becomes much less valuable overnight. If he had signed a 6 fight deal with Dana and lost his first fight then Fedor would still be in a good position. Not that he would lose to Brock but you see my point.

Ha! I can't stand him either.

Have you seen this?

It's Feodor talking about his contract. He seems, IMO, to be saying that although he is happy at the moment with his M1 Global contract, he is also fulfilling his obligations which are for three more fights. After which, he say's we'll see. Depending on the results of those fights and the success (or not) of M!'s co-promotion efforts, he could still make it to the UFC. Having said that, he's 30-odd and the only thing worse than him not going to the UFC is him going there when he is past his best. I culdn't bear that.

I dont think he meant timmeh, at least I hope he didnt! hehe
Arlovski has a glass chin, he got KO'd by Datsik back in the day! Everyone thought it was a fluke at the time but it given his recent run of being put sleep it seems his chin really is pretty rubbish.
Barnett is fighting on some Japanese pro wrestling card with Bobb Sapp and some other non entities. Barnett was a pro wrestler before and during his Pride days iirc, he'll probably end up fighting in some smaller Jap orgs at some point, they dont care about juicing over there.
I agree with you about fedors situation, he's coming to the end of his career, he needs to fight in the UFC now, not after he's had 3 crappy fights against cans for m1 global.

It's nice that someone else has some knowledge about MMA. wink

As for Fedor, lets keep our fingers crossed that those last three fights on his contract are Barnett, Overeem and Werdum. But it will probably be Bob Sapp and Minowa.

From what I've seen in K-1, Overeem has bulked up, and really improved his striking....

Might be worth a shot?

silva got totally forgotten about because of gary shaw being an idiot and hanging the whole promotion on a really crap HW in Kimbo Slice.

Speaking of who, has anybody heard anything about him from the set of TUF 10 yet? I assume he's been brutally KO'd by now.

Horse meat and roids will do that to a guy.

Elite XC had so many good fighters that got no exposure cos of them pushing Kimbo. Such a badly run promotion.

I don't think it is. He fights in Sengoku now, no roid tests in Japan. Speaking of which, anyone watching Sengoku 9 right now?

Its been pretty good so far, mohawk guy looked like he was done in the first but he's come back strongly. His stand up seems to be pretty good. Who are they?
