Day have you heard the story of diaz and riggs fighting in the hospital after their first fight?

Yeah that shit is hilarious. I read some article that had both sides of the story. I love when Diaz speaks, there is absolutely no filter on brain to mouth.

[Blarg]

lol his interviews are great he can fill up 20 minutes and cover 50 topics just by asking him about the weather.

[Day]

Fucking lol

"I walked into the hospital talking shit. I had already talked shit after the fight. After the fight, I went in the back, and I was all, fuck you, you fucking bitch. I’ll fight you all night. He was over here talking to a bunch of people and stuff, and I was like, fuck you. He was all, fuck you. I won. He’s all this and that. He goes, go back to the WEC motherfucker. I go into the hospital, right? As soon as I walk into the door with my brother, this motherfucker is strapped to a goddamn gurney. Okay? I’m like, what the fuck? I’m like, why are you strapped to a goddamn gurney?"

Lesnar vs. Fedor? You know, every time that overgrown steroid-laden freak has been in the ring I've been cheering for the other guy, and that fucking meathead smothers them with his hulk-smash retard-strength strategy and wins. If that happens to Fedor I am going to just lose it.

That's exactly how the UFC wants you to feel. And I highly doubt he is on roids with the amount of testing those guys have to go through.

if he can pin fedor against the cage that will happen, and it will be terrible. has fedor ever fought in a cage?

[Day]

I'm not sure what people expect a guy that big to do other than smash face. I mean he's already fast as shit for his size. I feel like we had this discussion last time.

[Dimmauk]

Fedor will have to beat Lesner standing up. If I was Fedor, I would work Jabs and Leg Kicks, and just try to wear him out. Fedor's take down defense will have to be perfect. You cant out wrestle Lesner. I'm not sure anyone could even get Lesner on the ground and on his back long enough to do anything.

[tyven]

this story will make everyone lol cuz of the parties involved, but kurt angle and brock lesnar fucked around and got their free style wrestling on and brock couldnt take him down once. even with that size advantage. granted angle was a gold medalist and brock was only an NCAA champ but still, its pretty damn impressive when you consider the size disparity

Report of Fedor Emelianenko finalizing a deal with the UFC "not true," says source | MMAjunkie.com


Report of Fedor Emelianenko finalizing a deal with the UFC "not true," says source
by Dann Stupp on Jul 29, 2009 at 10:20 am ET

A recent report that top-ranked heavyweight Fedor Emelianeko and the Ultimate Championship are "finalizing a deal" and that the fighter will be introduced on Friday as the organization's newest signee is "untrue," a source close to M-1 today told MMAjunkie.com (UFC blog for UFC news, UFC rumors, fighter interviews and event previews/recaps | MMAjunkie.com).

Emelianenko had been slated to fight on Aug. 1 against Josh Barnett, whose failed drug test (due to alleged anabolic-steroid use) triggered a series of events leading to the cancellation of "Affliction: Trilogy" and eventually the demise of Affliction's entire promotional arm.

The cancellation was followed by a report from the L.A. Times stating that Emelianenko will sign with the UFC, but a source speaking on the condition of anonymity said no such deal is likely.

(Additionally, SI.com's Josh Gross spoke to M-1 Global executive Apy Echteld, who also said the report is "not accurate.")

Emelianenko and M-1 officials have a media call and press conference in Los Angeles planned for today. The Russian fighter and former PRIDE champion is expected to update the press on what the future may hold for him. (MMAjunkie.com will have a full recap from the meeting posted at approximately 4:30 p.m. ET today.)

The UFC may be an option, though multiple sources have told MMAjunkie.com that Emelianenko is unlikely to have his next fight under the UFC umbrella.

The UFC also has a press conference planned for this week. On Friday company president Dana White will "break all the latest news and developments in UFC," according to a UFC release. White is expected to announce some Affliction fighters, including Ben Rothwell and Chase Gormley, have been added to the UFC roster.

But for now, Emelianenko doesn't appear to be one of them.

Emelianenko (30-1), who's unsuccessfully attempted to negotiate a contract with the UFC on multiple occasions, has also reportedly drawn interest from Strikeforce. M-1's new "premium fight series," which debuts Aug. 28 in Los Angeles with "King" Mo Lawal vs. Don Frye, is also an option for the fighter. (M-1 President Vadim Finkelchtein is also Emelianenko's manager.)
