Fedor Emelianenko Released by Strikeforce Following Third Loss in a Row

And not the fickleness of the fan community?

Don't like seeing Fedor fired, even with the losses. He's earned the right to leave on his own terms. I think Dana would actually love Fedor if not for his managers. Fedor seems like one of the true good guys in the sport. Hope he lands on his feet somehow.

Earned the right? His terms? He got paid too much money and the only people who kept him relevant were old fanboys, not the new wave of MMA fans. He did very little promoting, he did very little winning and hasn't had a relevant victory since he fought Cro-Cop. He got multiple chances and a lot of money getting those chances to make a huge name for himself here and he either couldn't do it or wouldn't do it, I am actually leaning to the latter at this point. Would I have liked the Fedor of old to come to the U.S. and just keep kicking ass? No, I would have loved it. But M-1 buried the old Fedor by charging excessive fees to fight guys who had little chance of winning, so they could keep touting his record and overcharging. In short they blunted the blade, so it could no longer make the cut.

So adios, enjoy the snow, and goodlife.

Well said playa!

Josh, I love you bro but you shouldn't be allowed to post about Fedor anymore
