if theyre standing up, i think ken has no chance. the only way i see ken winning the fight is to the ground.

Don't get me wrong, I loved watching Ken kick *** back in the day, but he should have retired and STAYED retired long ago... But with every athelete, they should retire at their peak to leave their mark on the sport... Sort of like Mirko Filipovic, AKA CroCop... He never should have entered the UFC... He should have quit as his peak.

PS: I'll prolly get flamed for that...


But when you're 59 years old, you really shouldn't be cage fighting... Fedor however, he's like 17 still! He has yet to peak me thinks

No joke. The dude looks like crap. His game is too one sided for the UFC.

I was so stoked to see him fight then bam. KTFO!

sad really. Kind of like these old football players carrying on too long.

though the natural looked damned good recently and he's f'in old too.

I doubt Fedor will ever peak. He only gets better. I wanna see him make Lesnar submit if they ever meet.

My favorite of all time is Frye vs. Takayama

There are so many great fights in the smaller orgs it's crazy. I think the casual MMA fan looking for excitement will find more awesomeness in the local noname shows than watching UFC on PPV. The local promos like Gladiator Challenge and Strikeforce put on great shows

As for non UFC stuff and more recently, from the Dream Lightweight tournment
Eddie Alvarez v Joachim Hansen
Eddie Alvarez v Tatsuya Kawajiri

and from the Dream Middleweight tournament
Manhoef v Sakuraba




I dunno there's just so many damn good fights. Go to www.mmascraps.com and view the "top 20 fights"

Anyways, I challenge anyone to watch Frye v Takayama and tell me that isn't the greatest display of the mastery of hockey punching ever in the history of mankind
