Can he be any nicer and cooler on top of being the best fighter in the world? I love Andrei too but come on now! We all know what's going to happen. Fedor by submission, round 1! How come nobody is talking about how friggin cheesy the UFC is being by putting two pay-per view shows right smack before and after the Affliction card!? They don't give a shit how many people purchase UFC93. They just want to take payperview buys away from the affliction card. Dana White is a BITCH!! Hate that guy! He is going to ruin the sport man! What a selfish prick! Anyway, Goooooooooo Fedor!!! E Fedor is truly the man!! Can he be any nicer and cooler on top of being the best fighter in the world? I love Andrei too but come on now!

It's a wonder he can be so graceful in taking criticism and throwing out the garbage. Even though he's really calm, you can tell that he means business whenever he has to fight someone. Everyone has a different way they do a stand up. If it works, then why not use it?

Fedor is the top of the MMA heap for the time being. He has fought some tough dudes i mean Nog became UFC Champ long after loseing twice to fedor. So that blows the he only fight guys that UFC dont want comment out of the water. As for Mir and Couture being in the top 10 HW's i would say Randy is hanging on to 10th by a thin thread and Mir has put himself in around 7th with nog and brock right behind him.Now to the Arlovski fight, I do think Fedor will win but if we see a focused Pitbull it wont be an easy fight. I'm looking forward to a war. First off Dana White is just a mouth peice with money so i dont really listen to his opinion other then to get a laugh.

Arlovski and Roach were trying to get inside Fedor's head and now Fedor has turned it around and has now gotten into Arlovski's head and turned Roach and Arlovski against one another. The Fedor quote "Sometimes it's a trainer's job to convince his fighter that his apponent has weaknesses" has to get Arlovski thinking "HMMMM, is Roach lying to me about Fedor" Hahaha Fedor is so smart.

Thanks for the interview. Blogs are all about opinions. Opinions are either impulsive and unfounded, or well informed and considered. The opinion offered that Emelianenko has "not fought anyone" is just not representative of the facts. Also question anyone who would posit that Frank MIr is not a top heavyweight. Knocking out a guy that Emelianenko did not stop twice is indicative of a force to be reckoned with, and I believe Mir will offer further evidence of that fact in future bouts. While many newer younger fans are fixated on the knockout, Mir is a master of the submission, earned over years of hard training. Making blanket statements about who could beat Mir are as big a waste of space as all the reams of blog posts detailing how Mir would never beat Nog, and Rashad Evans would never beat Chuck Liddell.
