And as for affliction..the majority of the fighters there are just plain bad, Ben Rothwell is one of them, are you saying he is talented? an olympic gold medalist judoka would throw him around the ring like a sack of shit. Americans have no clue whatsoever about what a talented fighter is, so they throw big ugly clueless idiots like Tim Sylvia up against a master of judo; Fedor Emelianenko. The talent was in PRIDE.

We expect from our country for our champs to be looking to improve and destroy the best. It's the American way. Give me that competitive edge to be the rest anytime. If Fedor is the best let him fight and destroy all competition to the contrary. That's what a real Emperor would do. The point about other champs taking on circus competition is so true.

This one touched a sore spot. I like "sprewell"s points. Fighting for the money or the sport, I am not sure it matters. I just know when I love watching certain fighters in the ring. Fedor, Wanderlei, Anderson, Henderson, Cro-cop, BJ Penn, etc. Sure in an ideal world, I want certain match-ups. But the business, emotions, and injuries all mess with things.

Dan Henderson is a disappointment, he was brought here to be a big name and help the UFC build depth, he was dominated by Silva, outworked by Rampage and he hasn't fought since with no fight on the horizon, Gomi is Gomi, Herring has been a huge disappointment, his only fight that he looked reaaly good was Kongo! He had Nogueira on the ropes but couldn't close. He was just completely dominated by someone with 3 MMA fights under his belt. Rampage is great, Vanderlei is my favorite fighter and I think he has turned his career around @ middleweight and will give Spider a run for his $ for sure. All in all I guess I was off track w my pride comment, and I can admit I was wrong. In summary, I think we need to see Randy resolve his issues w UFC so Fedor can destroy him, then wait til Fedor can sign with UFC when he is 34 or 35 and fatter and slower and watch him fight some lack luster boring fights that leave us with the glaring fact that he wasted his legacy on a few million dollars that he would have made up in promotional dollars and endorsements in the UFC!!! Nice job Ruskis To ur point about the pride guys in retort to my previous posting ur correct to a point.

I gotta agree with you completely. Fedor gets more passes than anybody in the sport. Basically, what's happening is that he fights for 36 seconds against Sylvia, beats him, and now we get to wait a good 8-10 months for him to maybe fight some serious competition. Like you said, if GSP, BJ, A. Silva, Chuck Liddell, et al. went off and fought some freakshow fight they would be discredited forever, but somehow it's ok for Fedor to do it regularly. Bottom line, it'd be nice to see Fedor fight real competition more than once every couple of years. Jeff L. I gotta agree with you completely. Fedor gets more passes than anybody in the sport.

MMA isn't just fighting, it's also entertainment. You can have the best fighers in the world, but if they aren't able to entertain you...they aren't worth as much as someone who is entertaining. It's just how business goes. This is called business. MMA isn’t just fighting, it’s also entertainment.

Silva and Rampage (both Pride guys) Rampage A. Silva Gono Marcus Aurelio is doing ok, though he is past his prime Shogun last a lackluster match vs Forrest, expect him to be back to old soon Big Nog has the HW belt Herring is about the same as he was in Pride, not bad not great Wanderlei lost to Chuck and not by a lot, but he is fine Mirko was a disappointment, but he was past his prime imo If the UFC could manage to get their hands on Gomi, Aoki, Kawajiri, Alvarez, Kid Yamamoto(WEC), Fedor, Arona, Barnett, and a shit ton more fighters they somehow managed to not sign, then you could be a better judge. Also to the guy above, Pride fighters that are doing fine

Dan Henderson will be fine, he’s only lost to A. Silva and Rampage (both Pride guys)
Rampage
A. Silva
Gono
Marcus Aurelio is doing ok, though he is past his prime
Shogun last a lackluster match vs Forrest, expect him to be back to old soon
Big Nog has the HW belt
Herring is about the same as he was in Pride, not bad not great
Wanderlei lost to Chuck and not by a lot, but he is fine
Mirko was a disappointment, but he was past his prime imo

If the UFC could manage to get their hands on Gomi, Aoki, Kawajiri, Alvarez, Kid Yamamoto(WEC), Fedor, Arona, Barnett, and a shit ton more fighters they somehow managed to not sign, then you could be a better judge.
