NEW POLL - WHO SHOULD FEDOR FIGHT NOW?

If josh is out who should he fight. There are rumors of vitor or lashley. vitor is getting ready for a fight a 185 so that would be interesting. And lashley just went three rounds with jason guida lol. Fedor needs to come to the ufc so he doesnt have to deal with all of the doping in affliction. Thoughts.


WOLFEDIT : new poll

My list would go like this,
1. Rodgers
2. Werdum
3. Vitor

didnt think of rodgers atleast he has a punchers chance.

I turned it into a poll

I would take Lashley, strictly for his athleticism. power, and speed. Also in the hopes that he beat Fedor and ended all the ass kissing that goes on.

I would just like to see Fedor throttle Lesnar, and then go back about his business as usual.

I voted Werdum, but Grim is the better pick. He's still so early in his career, and as of yet undefeated so a loss, especially to Fedor, wouldn't be the worse thing, and we get to see where he is at in terms of a ground game.

And as someone already said, we would have to give Grim a punchers chance.

A much more interesting fight then Werdum imo.

My new pick is Grim.

Rogers.

Werdum would be ok but I don't like him anyway and if Junior Dos Santos can KO him then Fedor would probably do the same.

Lashley would get KTFO in the first minute.

I agree, but Werdum has a much stronger ground game then Rodgers. Grim doesn't really have a ground game and Fedor can very easily exploit that. Atleast Werdum has a ground game.

Looks like Vitor will be the man.

LAS VEGAS – It's official: Josh Barnett (24-5) has been removed from his "Affliction: Trilogy" main-event bout with Fedor Emelianenko (30-1).

Affliction exec Tom Atencio confirmed the news this morning with AOL FanHouse, citing a positive test for a banned substance that will prevent Barnett from receiving a license to compete on the Aug.1 event in Anaheim, Calif.

MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) has since learned from sources close to the negotiations that middleweight Vitor Belfort (18- has verbally agreed to the bout, and negotiations are currently in progress to finalize the financial terms of the deal.

Vitor is saying you assholes better triple my pay if I have to get my ass kicked by the #1 fighter in the world who outweighs me by a good 40 pounds.

even though it is still pretty much set that Fedor will fight Vitor. I'm still going to leave the poll up for the day to see who people think he should have fought.

Funny how they are giving the fight to the guy that the masses really don't want to see. Vitor has zero votes here... I can't imagine many others around the MMA world really want to see this fight!

I hope they choose someone else, not Vitor.

Sooner are u a fighting board mod?

yep

would u sticky my poll? Pretty please

Holy fuck that might be the gayest thing I ever said!

Lashley is not ready for this and hes a fool to think he is.. Rogers is to young to be thrown into this kind of match.. I dont want to see Vitor get killed be fore he can make a run at 185 in the UFC.


Werdum is experienced and has a great great ground game and good size.. he would atleast make interesting match imo

im getting a bad feeling about this...(Shakes head) Lashley

Lashley said he didn't want the fight. It's going to be Belfort and its going to prove nothing with a chance of being entertaining.

rogers is who I want.

I hope it's not Belfort, but I'd watch.
I really think Fedor's scared to come to the UFC.

Fedor has never fought a guy with Belfort's speed. Belfort naturally isn't incredibly smaller than Fedor. This could still be interesting.
