What a great fight. I guess that’s a good a way to start a blog as any, although it’s to be expected whenever Fedor gets in the cage. Not just because everyone says so, but in my eyes the most exciting, the best heavy weight ever to grace this sport, possibly the current pound for pound best in the world, and at heavy weight, that speaks volumes. What’s even more impressive for me, is that in the light of all his talents, he is so very humble with it. Not your typical egotistical jerk, but very calm, collected, mild mannered, a man of few words, but extremely explosive in the battle.
Brett Rodgers however, is the complete opposite. I do give him credit for actually pushing Fedor more than most have in recent times, proved he was for real. But did he have to open his mouth at the end? I mean for crying out loud, you’ve just been TKO’d, and not just by anyone, by a legend. Show a little respect please. Despite of all that, he is a genuine contender. Coming into this fight with a perfect 10 and 10 record, falling short at the last hurdle. He showed great strength and power, especially in the clinch, almost made Fedor look human, almost… Definitely the ego of a champion, not one yet, so my suggestion is, if I am permitted, go on a pilgrimage and find some much needed humility, maybe one day when you actually hold a title, you will be deserving of it in every sense of the word.
Ultimately, who can deny, MMA is here to stay, it has overtaken boxing in my view and is the future. So who is next for Fedor? Why Dana doesn’t pick up the phone and sanction a Fedor vs Lesnar fight I don’t know. Oh do I hate politics. Isn’t it the fight the people want to see? I think so…
