Looks like an ok card so far but I don't have HDNet so it really doesnt matter for me I cant see it anyway.
fedor should yell timber when he lands a flush punch on choi.
Don't get me wrong fedor should walk this in but choi is not zulu, he can eat a punch and through one.
in saying that a first round G and P or armbar win to fedor is what will happen.
but if he gets sloppy like he did against fujita…………in mma you never know? (ask serra)
Fedor doesn't seem to take this guy seriously and in his interviews is talking about Couture, Rizzo, and Barnett. I've been wanting to see Choi fight. I don't think he will be fast enough to get Fedor in trouble but like Dan said…….anything can happen. I'm waiting for Fedor vs. Barnett.
Yeah fedor is gonna get an ealry win on this guy. Watch he will make it look like childs play.
ok maybe i am just out of the loop, but why is josh barnett so great? is he really that good?
That dudes head is so big how could anyone miss it?
ok maybe i am just out of the loop, but why is josh barnett so great? is he really that good?
he beat randys ass and is always given a tough fight for any of the top guys, i think he is in the top 3 h.w.'s in the world
fedor should walk through thischump… i wouldnt pay to see it
Yeah, I don't have HDNet either. Missing it's not going to hurt my feelings much. Anything could happen but I'm sure Fedor will get an easy victory.
