Depends on how hungry he is... I guess we'll see...

Personally, I don't believe he has that hunger.

Strikeforce has the more established veterans and prospects like Daniel Cormier, Shane del Rosario, Lavar Johnson, etc.



The way out of what? With the exception of Sylvia, every one of his recent opponents were on winning streaks prior to facing him.

Anyway:

A) Who's ultimately in charge of their management? Fedor... he could tell them to fuck off and fire them if need be.

B) I agree 100%, but Fedor's not fighting those guys by and large... Sure sometimes he gets a good fight, but there are a lot of hacks he's faught that pads his record... and what happens to those good guys he beats? They start losing.

Awesome gif.

For anyone interested:

Lesnar vs. Velasquez

I post this because people are bitching about an illegal blow to the back of the head by Velasquez around 2:17 in the round. I saw it, but I don't think that's were Brock lost... I think it was the knee just before that.

Agree. That particular shot didn't affect the outcome, IMO.

"The winner of Ben Henderson’s [Dec. 16 title defense against Anthony Pettis] will automatically face the winner of Frankie Edgar versus Gray Maynard," said White.

Nice! I think the 125lb class will be super cool to watch... just don't blink!

So what do you think Edgar v. Maynard?

I'm thinking 5 rounds of awesome... Maynard pulling out the win. Dunno though, both fighters have progressed since their first go, so it will be REAL interesting.

Edgar vs maynard should be good.
Frankie Edgar vs Eddie Alvarez is one I would also like to see.

Yeah, he's real fun to watch... What's real interesting about him fighting Edgar is that he's put guys away way more than Edgar has, plus he's bigger.

I would also like to see Shinya Aoki vs BJ Penn

Speaking of over-rated fighters: BJ Penn. I've never understood the nut-huggery behind this guy. Talented, yes... consistent, never. I don't understand how fans can put him up there with Fedor, Anderson, GSP, etc.

BJ Penn suffers from "I'm the best guy in my gym" syndrome and "my ego gets in the way of my talent" disorder.

During the last fight with Edgar, his corner was pumping him up and telling him he was winning when he was CLEARLY being out-worked. He needs a tough camp with guys who can challenge him and people in his corner giving him EFFECTIVE advice.
