Fedor fighting on CBS tonight

[Bodhisattva]

He's facing undefeated 6'5", 265 lb Brett "the Grim" Rogers. As usual, Fedor is giving up a lot of size. Should be a good card tonight.

I guess it can always be interesting when a guy has heavy hands and will be swinging away, but I just don't see Fedor losing.

 

[BamaCorvin]

I love Fedor!! He should win fast

 

[Bodhisattva]

Pow! Fedor ends another fight with one punch.

 

[Mamacalled]

Fedor is one bad man.

 

[BamaCorvin]

He got knocked the beep out!!!!

 

[Bodhisattva]

He's an emotionless killer. Sambo, striking, submissions - no heavyweight has his arsenal.

Eh, Fedor got his nose bloodied by a jab early in the fight. But, IMO Fedor dominated - came close to getting several submissions and pounded Rogers with heavy hands.

This is something that I trained at when preparing for combat. I simply cannot see treating it as a sport. People who do this for a living are going to die young...

 

[AlphaSnail]

I just can't get over the fact that Fedor looks like an out of shape auto mechanic and yet he will go down as the greatest MMA fighter of all time! Just goes to show that you don't always have to look the part.

every time i looked up it seemed like fedor was on his back getting pounded.... or on his feet taking combinations. he is still a baaaaad man.

do you feel the same way about boxing?

 

[NYBamaFan]

...do you feel the same way about boxing?

I was on my company boxing team, but we wore headgear. I would never allow my kids to box. I remember knocking one kid out and thinking that I had killed him for about 5 minutes...

 

[crimson fan man]

I have to say I love the sport. It has taken the place of boxing.

Don't get me wrong - it is pugilism in its rawest form. But it is killing people. I wouldn't ban it (freedom), but I won't support it, either...

Heck, football maims more and kilss more than MMA.

Of course it does - tens of thousands of people play football. Like I said, I wouldn't ban it, even if I could. People have a right to do this to themselves if they wish.

Having boxed with headgear, and having been through a great deal of other pugilistic training, I KNOW the abuse that their brains are taking. They are welcome to it.

And don't think that I am judging anyone who watches this. I love boxing, and I know what it does to fighters.

Imagine getting hit just once by one of those blows? Brain damage...

It also has been proven to be safer than boxing.

Yeah, in boxing you get hit in the head scores of times; the cumulative effect can be severe. And, if you get in trouble, you get a standing eight count so that you can recover enough to get beat some more.

In MMA, there are fewer head strikes because in the split second you are stunned your opponent finishes you off, and the ref stops the fight.

Not sure how they could know it is safer than boxing. It simply has not existed as a large sport for long enough. You guys have watched the sport. Do you really believe that it is safer than boxing?
