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, 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.
