I hope Fedor recovers quickly. I don't think Fedor is ducking Cro Cop either, unlike some people on the Sherdog forum. Injuries happen to fighters and unfortunately, this one happened before a title fight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2003 So he was hurt a month ago...but no one knew until today? Hey Fedor...DUCK...there's big leg coming at your head. DUCK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lei Tong 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2003 I'd imagine at least part of this has to do with Fedor changing affiliation to the Red Devil Sports Club, which would open him up to oprtunities to fight in 2H2H and M-1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2003 A thumb injury effects both striking and grapping. I big part of Fedor's work is hand control and a broken thumb would definitely effect that. The reason why it wasn't released until today is because they thought it could heal - it didn't. Vs. Cro Cop you need to be 100%, and if you can't take him down and keep him down there, you'd lose. They didn't do it last minute, there's 3 weeks left to train before the event which is enough time for any regularly-training fighter to get ready. .... ... .. . FEDOR RULES!

Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2003 ugh...I've been reading through the Sherdog forums...and my goodness, the CroCop fans have the tendancy to get irritating in a hurry Along with the Ortiz fans, the Silva fans, the belfort fans, and generally anyone who's ever joined that board for the sole purpose of discussing MMA. I would also like to say that "nuthugger" is the stupidest term I've ever heard, and is used way too often over there. Don't get me started on the hyprocisy of that either.

Styles 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2003 I still believe in Fedor! It's a shame he had to be stripped of the belt, but I can't wait for him to come back and take his rematch! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the pinjockey 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2003 I can't believe Sherdog gets new members. Any time a new person posts something, no matter how intelligent, they are responded to with SHUT THE FUCK UP NEWB. At least here only stupid and pointless first posts get that treatment.

RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2003 www.ironlife.com and www.mma-fighter.com are much better sites IMO for mma discussion (and fighter montages). Sherdog is just too... what's the word... well, the more people there are, the more threads there are (usually on the same topic), the more people who can ruin discussions ... ruin discussions. RRR: Still a white belt at Sherdog, therefore am clearly not able to discuss Mixed Martial Arts.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2003 The other thing is, most people that have a lot of posts are pretty stupid, and anything that is relatively intelligent is usually dumbed down with "ORTIZ IS THE BEST FAGZ~!" or "SILVA LOST TO BELFORT AND ORTIZ HES NOT THE BEST". The whole concept of logic was thrown out the window with that last one. *Visits www.mma-fighter.com* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Elitist is the word your looking for. There are a lot of assholes on sherdog, but there are some cool guys. As long as you post intelligent comments and don't troll, then you won't catch much flak.

RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2003 Yeah, there are a lot of smart guys on Sherdog, but it seems for every smart guy there are 10 morons who only post one sentence in a thread and it usually is a childish insult. It's disgusting how many threads there are on one subject that could be cut down upon if there wasn't those 10 morons trolling along. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
