Will we see Fedor in 2010?
- Thread starter Nastycrow
- Start date
No
they alredy said that at least with SF fedor will not fight again this year.
a this point i think SF will be better of to gave him his last fight and move on, to bad because fedor is a great figther but you just cant have a figther with all those mafia behind him trying to rule your promotion, even if it is the greatest of all time, is not worth it. let him go to dream or figthing with his M-1 fighting cards, i am a huge fan of fedor but at this point i dont care about him and i care more about SF so i think is better to let him go away or fight with SF and be more active or leave it and go away to freak shows in japan
I agree with you Casas. In fact, I would have been alot more vocal about this were I Coker. I mean negotiations shouldn't go on for months. Instead, us fans are kept in the dark and are left wondering what is going on. The end result: I like Fedor, M1 and SF all LESS than I did one year ago. And I can't be alone in my opinion.

No need to turn this into a bash Fedor thread (behave Fjordorz). Just give your opinions.

true, is kind of annoying that FJ in every fedor thread continues to troll and it seems like he had a green card to do it, please dont let him destroy this thread too, the guy actually went is not trolling about fedor makes good posts, so FJ if you want to make your post do it but try to not make troll posts like always, give your opinion and think and act like it was a diferent subject
My suspicion is that M1 is working with Dream to hand pick Fedor's next opponent for the New Year's Eve card. An opponent good enough to keep hard core fans happy, well known enough to keep Japanese fans happy, but not good enough to beat Fedor. This way Fedor returns to his winning ways, M1 makes some money, Fedor gets some confidence, and the timing is right for an April card on CBS against Werdum.
This seems to make the most sense to me.
Well its to bad for you young fans, but I saw fedor fight 4 and d times years ago now and if I was him and built my reputation and record like he has, I would be only fighting once or maybe twice a year. Dude doesn't even need to fight, but yet he still dust off the gloves once or twice a year and he spends the rest of his time with his family, friends and students.
Sorry many of you are annoyed, but really it's like football fans being pissed at barry sanders for retiring young. You weren't around for his hey day of so multiple fights a year.
Hell now that I think it I'm really pissed a funaki.
Fedor obviously has different priorities than he used to. Sorry many of you missed him in his hey day. You missed something very special and will like never be seen again

Hasn't he been taking time off for the past few years?
What fans don't like is the approach that he and M1 have been taking. If you are injured, say you are injured. I don't think this is the case.

exactly, M1 has been so fishy, they signed a contract in the first place but after the first fight it has been renegotiate after renegotiate that it seem that in every fight for fedor SF has to give up his arm to try to get him even tought there was a contract in the first place.
i know that MMA contracts dont protect well his figthers UFC is a good example when you can be fire in any fight that you made and for no reason, but with fedor we actually are see the oposite part, when a figther that has behind a mafia wants to take advantage over a mma promotion

yeah when a fighter is young he should fight 4 or 5 times a year, but once you are a legend and older and body has taken lots of punishment like Fedor, Nog, Randy, Wandy have..... 1 or twice a year is enough to maintain their body.....this kind of sport takes a big toll on the body...older fighters need to rest....it happens in boxing Vets fight once or twice a year....why do you think Hopkins went strong to his 40s, De LaHoya was going strong in late 30s.....fighters like Chavez were done in his early 30s with the amount of fights...thats why Pacman and Mayweather fight once a year at this point in their career.
Young fighters should fight as often as possible.........older vets that have taken a toll once or twice a year, they earned it
even UFC dont push their vet fighters to fight that often....injury or not....unless they have an emergency to fill
top fighters that have spent almost their entire career in UFC
BJ Penn 23 fights in 10 years, he has spent most of his career in UFC
Tito Ortiz 23 fights in 13 years..... his entire career in UFC
Kenny Florian 19 fights in 8 years (the irony is that he hates on fighters on MMA live that dont fight often)
Randy hasnt fought 3 times in one year since 2002
Chuck 4 fights in 4 years
GSP hasnt fought 3 times in one year since 2007 and has had only one fight this year so far
see the pattern
Fedor 35 fights in 10 years
Since Pride folded in 2007 he has had 6 fights in 3 years.....Randy Couture has had 7 fights since 2007
so top fighters deserve time off....but only cause Fedor is not in UFC, haters like to use that...but you see even UFC fighters dont fight that often
The only problem Hitman is that Fedor and his camp already said they wanted to fight this fall. But they aren't going to. They have NEVER spoken of Fedor's need for rest and recuperation. If Fedor needs rest, then why call out Overeem for a fall fight?
And it's not like Fedor sustained an injury in his last fight.
p.s I'm not saying Fedor doesn't deserve rest. But if that's the case, then be upfront about it.
I see your points.......but we all agree that M-1 has screwed up Fedor's career badly and Fedor has allowed that, so as much as M-1 has screwed him up, its all up the Fedor for sticking with that management....so its his own fault. Its sad stuff
I hope the Overeem fight happens though, I dont care in seeing a rematch with Werdum.

Kinda biased math you got there, Tito OLrtiz, wasnt active for all 13 years, he was gone for a while, you didnt count that, Fedor hasnt been retiring or anything he is listed as active fighter all the time, BJ fights every year more than once, Fedor fights almost every year, there is a difference. And while you say younger have to fight more often than old, if Fedor fights now more rarely than 47 year old Randy, how often will he fight when he is 47? 1 time in decade? Wait that is his speed even now
Chuck also retired, and went to do some dancing shows, and he still has same amount of fights than Fedor, so it really dont support your claim. And GSP really GSP? He has many many fights more than Fedor in last three years, its kinda funny how you see everything trough Fedor glasses and ignore everything else, I decided first not to post in this thread but then I saw your utterly fail post, and just had to say how much of a fail that can be, I wonder do you really believe in your stuff what you write? Cause it seems noone can be that dense.
To the topic, I dont think Fedor fights this year anymore he already did in may, its only 6 months after that and his speed is 9-13 months between fights so its nowhere near he could have a fight in this year anymore, but its probably better to not get a loss in your record twice a year, I heard he ducked bigfoot also, I guess they fear Bigfoot too, Maybe Nick Diaz or Miller could be a good spring opponent for Fedor.

I wonder if people think AA top #3, Tim top 10, Rogers top 10. where hand picked opponents. Curious. DOnt see how they where hand picked opponents for Fedor. Do people forget this is MMA and anything can happen. Werdum vs Fedor for example.
Click to expand...
Yes they do, how was tim sylvia coming off with a loss to that fight and being 1-2 in his last three with his only win being over LHW make him a legit opponent for that time #1 HW in the world? Lol..
or AA, we have seen how much of a fighter he is, also AA's resume before fight with Fedor wasnt so hot, win over 1 LHW and green Nelson aint something you should brag about.. And Rogers, yes he has a fluke win over glass chin and nobody else, and he should be thought to be legit..? With same logic Duffee should have gotten a shot at HW title.
But I hope you edozkaz and hitman stay out of this topic since you just try to twist the topic into something else than talking about is Fedor gonna fight this fall, so even I answered you guys for your offtopic posts, lets keep this thread on topic forward, you can make your own topics, dont go ruining this thread for us others.
lol fjdorz i proved you wrong a million time yet you continue to write the same s--- over again. Your such a failed troll. I will try hard to ignore your blabber and trolling. I will just laugh point and walk away instead.
BTW Tim was beaten by Nog who Fedor beat twice
AA was on a 5 fight win streak
name me another fighter who was above him in rankings at that time?
ROgers KO'ed AA
goodday troll
