Just remember, Barnette fought Rizzo in the UFC and Rizzo down right knocked the "baby faced assassin" into "crossed eyed faced assassin", so I don't think Josh Barnette would be a threat to Fedor. I think Rizzo would be and Couture of course, or how about Brock Lesner? I don’t know why you guys are wanting Josh Barnett to fight Fedor and you’re putting Rizzo down.

When was the last time he reported something that was true, or even relevant for that matter. Meltzer should go back to fake fighting and get fucked by the Iron Shiek.

Minotauro has lost to him a couple of times and even if Sylvia beats him he will always have that loss to Randy hanging over his head until he avenges it. #9- I do agree he needs to fight a big name to again cement his spot at number 1, but even if he doesn’t I just can’t make a reasonable arguement to put anyone ahead of him bar Couture who has retired.

A piece here at year's end where we look at who was on top a year ago, two years, etc. Just in case you didn't have anything to do today. How about that Sam?

Think about some of the fighters who were at or near the top of their divisions three years ago who get little mention these days. Tito who? The fans and the sport will move on pretty quickly if Fedor doesn't keep fighting legitimate adversaries. Short term focus on money will cost him money in the long term. MMA moves very quickly.

I doubt many of the fans would not do the same in his shoes. I know I would. I'm just surprised that fans actually think that Fedor might think that he owes the fans anything or that he cares at all what rabid Internet fans really think of him. He doesn't. Also, I do think the Choi fight might be dangerous for him simply because Choi has decent striking skills and a Korean wrestling base. And he's f*cking huge. 350 lbs huge.

Not saying he is not a good fighter but it seems the cage can be overwhelming for many good fighters. He needs some warm-ups in the cage and then a shot at a big name. Randy is a very good fighter. Very smart with stratagy and planning. I am not as convinced that he is as good as is being stated by many fans as well as inside people. He has had two losses that in my opinion should have not happened for the level of fighter he is suppose to be. Hope we can see Fedor attempt the cage and bring new blood in this sport.
