The King of MMA

ok here we go.....

well the last emporer is still alive and kicking! if you don't know what i'm talking about then you obviously wern't watching the free fightcard offered up on CBS saturday night. in the ever on going battle for your viewing rights CBS featured a free on cable fight card of mma action. so instead of shelling out the usual $40 bucks for a UFC event(which i usually do) this card was put on by a rival promotion that seems to be gaining some steam as the only other fight company out there that could give the UFC jugernaught a run for its viewership money.

how can this upstart company do such a thing? well one word...FEDOR. this one name has become somewhat of an enigma to the real hardcore fans of the mma community. this one name is the legindary russian mma fight that is basicaly the most sought after fighter on the planet. his refusal to sign with the UFC makes him even more egnimatic to the general mma world and made the upstart strikeforce company a real contender to the UFC's monopoly on the mma landscape.

people will argue what makes this Fedor so great and if he is so great than why is he refusing to sign with the biggest promotional company on the planet? why is he so great? well he hasn't lost in almost 9 years! think about that for a moment...9 years in the brutal world of mma fighting. he is the recognized world champion, not a champion of a company. sorry brock but you are awsome but you are also the UFC's champion not the world champion. Fedor has beating some of the UFC's formr champions and beaten them badly, and quickly.

what makes this Fedor so special is that to be a true superstar, like a wayne gretzky or a micheal jordan is having the ability to win, score or deliver when called upon to do so in the most trying circumstances. how many times has mma said they have the next champion or the next tyson? all of them to fail when a company needs them most. on saturday Fedor was in some real trouble, it would appear to most as he sustained a vicious cut to his nose and was appearing to get worked over by at the time an undefeated young fighter who out weighed him by almost 50lbs! but like a true superstar he delivered with one punch, the end of the fight, the end of another undefeated fighters record and answered his critics about how great he really is!

now with brock lesnar potential sidelined, possibly permanently who is the UFC gonna wave around now to say that their fighter is the true heavyweight champion? don't know? well, nether do they! long live the last empero, you are the TRUE heavy weight champion of the MMA scence.

until next time....hands up, chin down, and keep on fighting!
