I've waited for months because I thought Fedor was going to rebound and he gets beat again. Oh well. Now pumped for UFC 134.

He went limp. The second punch woke him up. You cant let a fighter get ko twice in the same fight. Fedor Hasnt been anything in the last 5 years. He hasnt fought anyone in a long long time. When Fedor dominated the HW division is was when all hws did was lean against each other and throw heavy hands mma has evolved and most have caught up to an aging fedor

I also called hendo is in the first

BTW is it a requirement that every hw fighters highlight is a ko of andrei arloski?

Tim Kennedy is the real deal and I wish we could see him in the ufc vs someone in the top 5-8. I also think Tyron Woodley has a huge career ahead of him but still has areas to improve upon

Went limp, then rolled over and was defending himself a split second later

Watch it again, Fedor went to sleep for a sec gets hit again and wakes up rolling onto his back. As it first happened I said the same thing but clearly in the replay it was a good stop!

He came to when the second punch woke him up like i said before. If your out even for a sec youve been put to sleep and its dangerous to get ko twice in a short period of time.

IMO Herb Dean overreacted when he saw him go limp for a split second, I can see why he stopped the fight but I think he could have fought on, and those two punches Hendo landed were to the back of the head and illegal. Probably just the fan in me that wanted to see more of that fight.

The fact that fedor could not walk 30 seconds later proves you guys saying that the stoppage was early wrong.

I'm sorry I dunno what fight you were watching. The punch that knocked him out was a uppercut that hit his chin. He threw 3 punches after that the first one cleary on the side of fedors face that woke him up a second that was close to being on the back of the head and a 3rd hammerfist to his face. Fedor was so wobbly legged he could barly walk for about 30 seconds after the fight.

I am a huge fan of both Fedor and Hendo, and anyone who questions this stoppage is a huge Fedor walnut hugger.

He was wobbily legged when he tried to stand up 30 seconds later.

As a fan of Fedor I'd hate to have seen him permanently damaged by a few more shots to the head.

The cut man "stich" was on MMA junkie radio and said Fedor asked him what happened after the fight. He was out cold for sure, it was a good stoppage.

As for this weekend, Rashad should win this by UD. I see it going like the Tito/Hamil fight did, unless Rashad really goes for it and gets the finish.

I guess you never know with Rashad. I'd like to see him go for it and knock Tito out but you never know where he take the fight.

I might watch the prelims this weekend but thinking I will skip the main card. I think Rashad by UD.

After looking over the main card again I am skipping the purchase of it.

Same. I'm definitely buying 134 though.

I'll be up in Ohio for 134 but not sure if I'll be anywhere that will show it. Friday night will be at Kelly's Island, then Sat 8/27 we are doing our fantasy draft and partying at a buddies who really doesn't get into the UFC. Hopefully there will be a few others there that can throw in and we can get them to order it that night.

I expect Rashad to win but it wouldn't shock me if Tito pulled off the upset, very favorable matchup for him. The key factor is ring rust for Rashad which i'm a huge believer in, he hasn't fought since May of 2010!
