Scott Coker confirms the names in line to face Fedor

“It would be in October or November. The location is to be
determined. We have two more big show [this year] and one of them will
be Fedor. We’re not interested in Ricco Rodriguez, that was a Ken Pavia
rumor. Brett Rogers is obviously one of the candidates, Alistair
Overeem, (Sergei) Kharitonov, maybe Paul Buentello. I think those four
would be the top guys to choose from. I say let’s put him on TV a
couple of times and then let him fight in the big fight.”


No Werdum?,,,

That might be a slip, he mentioned Werdum in an earlier interview. Unless Werdum is thinking of making the cut to 205.

and maybe he's just talking about the fall show, and would rather not throw Werdum back out there so soon?

He said maybe Grim!!! I would be dead wrong if he picked Grim to fight Fedor first. I thought anybody except him.

Grim has business with Alistair, Fedor should fight Werdum in a WAMMA defense.

The winner there fights the Strikeforce champion.

Wait, didn't headhunter go back to the UFC?

It is like he saying "I have to decide. Should I make him KO the tomato can on the left, the right or the center? Or maybe there is a secret tomato can he has to find to knock the juice out of? Yeah that's it, that's the ticket!" It might be competition if he had to fight two at once, but give me a break.

Thats pretty funny Raider.

Tim, the reason you have gotten a negative on your response, is because a certain...for lack of a better term, moderator, does not like me or my anti-Fredo remarks, which you daringly thought was funny. Shame, shame. Some of us worship reality, some of us worship Ukrainians who haven't fought anybody with a real chance at victory in four years. I am sorry! Did I say four years? Well it will soon be five. However, I am hoping Brett Rogers gets a shot and lands a lucky punch to end the charade.

Dont get some of the fedor hate here, I mean he is one of the best fighters any of us have seen. I think he is beatable just like anyone else but 9 out of 10 times he make short work of anyone on that list. (not that the list is bad) I think all but buentello have skillset to be competitive at any level.

1. Fedor is Russian, born in the Ukraine or not.
2. You can't honestly believe the second part and if you do, then put a huge question mark next to the UFC title because both Brock and Frank got their titles from guys who both beat Sylvia but much less impressively.
3. Your mom sucks black dudes off.

1. Let us assume I was born in America, but raised in Germany...Damn! That still makes me an American. Fucking rules.

2. Umm, he beat Mirko in the last 4 years, who got KTFO by Gabriel Gonzaga. Tim Sylvia, who got his arm broke by Mir and when he was closer to his prime, got subbed past his prime by Fredo the retard looking dude who played Blaster in Mad Max III. Even more impressive was the fact that he beat Arlovski, who lost twice to Sylvia as a note of reference, it took him almost 3 minutes longer to KO him than it did Brett Rogers. I wonder what took Fredo so long?

3. And unlike you my Mom doesn't think eating unwiped asshole is an aphrodisiac.

Russian citizenship rules are not the same as American. He is a Russian citizen who served in the Russian army. Fucking education!

That assassination of Fedor's career is retarded, intellectually dishonest, and the product of a fag-noob hybrid with 4 ounces of manjuice in his rectum. We could assassinate any number of fighters career's the exact same way. Fact is Fedor throughout his career has consistently beaten the best fighters available to him.

Go back to ESPN with WWE anti Fedor antics. Opinions are tolerated, but that is not.

I was wondering who gave me the negative on my profile lol. Wolf I hope that wasnt u I thought me and u were better than that lol. But if u gave me 1 for thinking Fedor isnt the super human God u think he isthat sucks lol. Its really no big deal but I was wondering who gave it to me. Maybe u could explain why?? Well I guess u can give me another because I think Brock could beat Fedor also lol.

Dude, I didn't state anything but facts! I have consistently ranked him number 1 in the HW division. But don't piss on my head and tell me its raining! Fought the best fighters available to him? He had the entire UFC roster open to him and the little bitch took less money, promotional opportunites (for him and M-1), and the chance to fight the best HW division the sport has ever seen...TWICE! Don't talk to me about education, because anybody who is fucking rational would recognize reality and the reality is 1 of 2 things! Either he and his family are under the threat of the vory v zakone (Theives in law or Russian Mafia) or he is fucking ducking. Oh and keep your poor "they wanted co-promotion status" horseshit to yourself. Rings, BoDog, Pride, Affliction all co-promoted with that fuck up of an organization, using Fredo as their positioning chip and now all are technially out of business. Pride does not count because they are a non-functioning group under Zuffa. That is who your boy is. You want to hate the UFC? Fine. You want to blame Dane White? Go ahead. But the track record of your big fucking heroe is simple. I pointed out the flaws of the past four years in who he has fought, you can't change fucking stats. I have just now pointed out the reality of what happens to organizations that do business, the M-1 Global way. That too is a fact. Yes I still go to the ESPN board and I haven't watched the WWE in over a decade, though I have friends who work for them. On top of everything else, I really don't care if you keep knocking my rep down, that is a you decision, but you are suppossed to be a moderator, not an adjudicator.

+1

Cant we all just get along? lol

Why cant we be friends
Why cant we be friends

I seen you 'round for a long, long time, yeah
I remembered you when you drink my wine


.....Oh lol

I didn't neg rep anyone but Andrew once in this thread.

M-1 Global's relationship didn't exist until after Pride and iirc after the Bodog bout. Also, if you weren't such a complete idiot you'd understand that Fedor had no legal right to sign the offer the UFC gave him. The UFC won the PR battle by offering a fat ass irrelevant contract that Fedor couldn't sign if he wanted to thanks to the existence of his already existing promotional contract.

Check yo mothafuckin' facts.

As far as the holes in Fedor's resume, I can do that to. We can do that with any fighter in fact.

Who has Brock beaten?

46 year old Couture? The same guy who was brutally retired from the LHW division by a guy who himself has been brutally retired shortly after? He came back and beat Sylvia in 25 minutes when Fedor needed 36 seconds, then beat Gonzaga who has since lost two more fights to a guy who had never beaten anyone in his life in Carwin, and a guy who was later cut by the UFC in Werdum.

What about Mir, the same Mir who also beat him? Who else did Mir beat? Nog? Didn't Fedor also destroy him? Mir was also absolutely murdered twice in the four year span in question here. Once by a guy later cut by the UFC.

Herring? Didn't Fedor also destroy him and finish him during Herring's prime? The same modern Herring who lost to Jake O'Brien, also cut by the UFC?


The same holes in Arlovski's resume as a fighter on Fedor's win list can be punched in Mir's and Couture's, Gonzaga's, Werdum's, Mir's, Nog's and any other fighter in the tree of common opponents for all these HW's. And criticizing Sylvia as a fighter hurts Brock more than Fedor since the linage of both titles Brock unified are both two years removed from Sylvia.



You're twisting the facts to fit a reality you wish existed - that Brock has a better resume and is a better fighter, and that Fedor ducks everyone. It's just not logical, makes you look stupid and bias, and makes people want to shit all over your fat mothers face.

I dont think think no body is better in the heavyweight division than Fedor but I do think the gap is closing alittle.

ill give u a green

Well I guess you and Choi put me in my place! Well that contract with M-1 Global should pose no problem of getting him quality opponents. Werdum (cut by the UFC), Brett Rogers (who I would like a lot more if he got a ground game), Buentello, and Overcreame.

I will grant the fact that Randy at 46 is not as good as the Randy at 35, but...Come on dude. He is one of the greats and has almost consistently fought greats, no Hong Man Choi's here. Look at the facts though, Everytime Fedor's management team takes up co-promoting status, as I previously stated, those people pay the price. You can blow me off, but Kevin Iole stated it too and he, unlike you or I, is considered a fucking expert. You also keep blowing off the fact, that I keep ranking him number 1. Fuck you bitch, I ain't (FYI: ain't is a word when you live in Alabama for ten years, cool fact huh?) saying he isn't. I am saying that like Elvis he is in a bad contract, if he can get out he should. How much money has M-1 Global cost him? What has it cost the fans? What has it cost the sport? What you have is a guy who is now living, much like Elvis on what he did instead of what he can do. Do I think he can beat Brock? Sure. I think Carwin can too incidently. I don't think either one will. You say he is stuck and has no decision on his life? Fine, then keep KOing wannabes and neer-do-wells, but the more he does that, the more his fanbase and the fans will turn away from him and consider him an overrated fighter. Will I watch his fights? Sure if they are free. Do I think they will be entertaining? Not unless someone gets lucky and beats him. But that is the real shame in all this. Someone will have to get lucky to beat him, because there is no real challenge for him in SF or DREAM. He is beating guys who have virtually no shot to defeat him. But he will one day gets what he and M-1 deserve. One day, a guy who has no business being in the ring with the guy will win by a fluke and then the well suddenly dry's up. Now everyone except diehards will mock the living shit out of him and his fans, and they will deserve it.

Choi was no can. Like Brock he relies on size. Had already beaten top K1 fighters and was the Korean national wrestling champion. And Japanese MMA has always been that way and booked fights that way. Feigning cultural ignorance to the nature of the sport in Japan in an effort to frame Fedor as a fighter who fights cupcakes to the exlusion of all others makes you look like a total jackass. You really expect anyone who is worth even talking to to follow you off that cliff? Fedor is just like Anderson and Mousasi and Penn and other special greats in that he enjoys fighting challenges and seeing new looks, and someone that size is certainly a new look.

Kevin Iole? Is that the same dude who made Dana fly off the handle with his bogus Crocop rumor and the same guy who is routinely criticized for being in Zuffa's pocket? Mention his name in a topic title at the UG or Sherdog forums. I dare you.

As for the point - look at who entered these business relationships with M-1 and who has promoted Fedor - Rings, went out of business before Fedor was Fedor and he had nothing to do with that, Pride, was bought by the UFC while it's owners and employees scammed Zuffa and immediately formed Sengoku and Dream in it's wake. Fedor had nothing to do with Pride's demise. Pride was able to fill arenas and garner plenty of overseas viewers, their real market anyway. Fedor himself never caused that to change. That was a broader shift.

The NYE show was a special event held by people who are now running Dream. Still in business. Bodog had never promoted fights before and was a gambling website. Affliction had never promoted fights before and sold t-shirts. And it's Fedor's fault two "promoters" like this failed? In what universe could that have actually worked?


Are you even able to see the big picture?


Carwin is Brock's next test. His only top 25 win is Gonzaga. Werdum has done that too, twice.(in addition to the rest of his great career wins) Stop acting like competition in the UFC is on another planet than Strikeforce's or who Fedor has beaten.





Let me guess, this mentality is a reactionary product to Fedor fanboys and how mean they are to you when you go on sherdog to talk about Amir Sadollah and Brock? You didn't watch Pride, you don't know MMA, you're always wrong, get the fuck out of here.

and wtf @ that elvis babble. That was in the neighborhood of Jerry Millen's basketball nonsense.

Well, I guess I have been put in my place. Gee, it must be difficult being right all the time Wolf? How ever do you do it? Well, I will agree that Fedor is not co-owner of M-1, even though he is, and therefore has no choice but to do what Finky says, because he is contractually obligated. I will agree that M-1, not the organization that is the UFC, is the very best MMA organization...ever. Dana White does not understand anything about MMA, the Fertitta's should have hired you. Brock doesn't deserve, Mir isn't good enough, Couture is to old, Nog is a never has been, Carwin doesn't have enough experience, blah, blah, blah. Strikeforce, because of M-1 Global is now the best. Werdum, Rogers, Overeem, you know what I am sure the list of awe inspiring Heavyweights at SF and DREAM is just to big to list, why even try? Certainly, Lorenzo and Frank the III will be calling you soon to come fix their fucked up organization that they let their idiot friend run into the ground. God if they had just come to you in the first place...
