I suppose now would be a good time to support Fedor's MMA Bible, which many of you newer fans may be unaware of:

There is no one hundred percent fail-proof recipe for unarmed combat. Practitioners must learn all they can to prepare themselves for any possible fighting scenario. Techniques alone do not ensure victory in the modern fighting chess match that is MMA. Subtleties like footwork, combinations set up off of evasive movements and offensive feints, and timing, are the essence of fighting success. These variables are difficult to perceive, let alone define, and the ability to fuse them with game-tested techniques against a skilled and prepared opponent marks the clearest indication of a modern fighting master.

In FEDOR: the Fighting System of the World's Undisputed King of MMA, the martial arts public can finally find answers to their ongoing question: how does Fedor Emelianenko do what he does in the ring? He writes in the introduction to the book's section on "counter attacks:"

"The goal in any fight is to constantly remain on the offensive and either rack up enough points to earn a judges' decision or put your opponent to sleep. If your opponent is timid or dramatically outclassed, achieving your goal can be quite easy. You simply beat on him until he drops. However, the majority of opponents you face will climb into the ring or cage with the exact same goal as you, which means you'll have to contend with his attacks. The only way to remain offensive against an opponent who is also offensive-minded is to learn how to counter his attacks. By attacking, evading his strikes, and then immediately launching counterattacks, your opponent will be locked in defense mode even though he is throwing every strike in the book at you. And as long as he is constantly defending, you'll be winning the fight."

The above excerpt is just a taste of the abundant nuggets of world-class fighting philosophy that can be found in FEDOR. His thoughts are expertly drafted into workable instructions with the help of famed MMA writers, Glen Cordoza and Erich Krauss. The book is filled to the limit with clear photographs of Emelianenko displaying the precise body movements necessary to execute each featured technique. Additionally, most featured techniques are accompanied by a section of highlighted "key concepts" to keep in mind.

While studying the book, you will undoubtedly recognize many of the same movements and techniques that have worked for Emelianenko in his fights against the world's best heavyweight fighters. In addition, the book includes many new and exciting techniques like the "Reverse Bridge Summersault Escape" from mount where he literally summersaults horizontally over his shoulders to roll his opponent over to the bottom position.

Widely known for possessing some of the fastest and most devastating hands in the business, Emelianenko presents an in-book clinic on his powerful striking techniques. You will notice in the book's photographs his familiar tendencies to maintain head movement; shift his feet to compensate for his changing offensive angles; and deliver his strikes with his fists rotated beyond the traditional norm. His explanations are not so much a surprise, but they will aid readers in adopting his unorthodox style into their own game.

FEDOR covers every area of MMA: from fundamental striking and slick submissions, to fight-effective takedowns and mindfully defensive techniques. What once could only be ascertained through careful analysis of his legendary fights can now conveniently be learned step-by-step in his first instructional book. FEDOR is both intriguing and brilliant. A must have for any serious martial artist. It is the new standard for MMA instructional books.

Why all the Shields hate? Guy was dominant on the ground. Sure, he couldn't finish but no appreciation for the technical side of the game? It's MMA, not boxing. =/

I was clicking the hell out of refresh!

[Themessagewithi]

Fedor is epic

[deadforaminute]

i was expecting a more technical round 2 where fedor takes rogers down and submits him.. but that shot was just fking huge.. perfect exclaimation point on the win

[PaHulkster]

Only big complaint that I have is WTF at no Fedor entrance. He has the best music, and his entrances at Affliction were so badass. They let Mayhem dance like a homo, but the main event is preceded by ten minutes of commercials.

What should be scary for every heavyweight is that Fedor seems to be getting better. Maybe Sylvia and Arlovski weren't past their prime. Last person to make it to a decision was the death machine version of Crocop. You have to figure that the broken nose slowed him down a little, and he still tooks shots, threw Rogers around, and did a big KO.

I wonder if the touch of death is going to be on Rogers now too. Maybe he will get KO'd in under thirty seconds in his next fight.

I only got to see the last two fights. Did anyone else see more on tv?

One a side note. If that cage wasn't there Fedor would have taken Rogers arm.

Thats the price you pay for a free card.
we're used to it over here.

Well that card certainly was 1000x better than the Haye fight, not one bad match although at times i though the middleweight bout looked like 2 friends having a sparring session

We are? I've never seen anything like the (seemingly) 10minutes of solid adverts before the main event.. At least during the Haye fight they were small ad breaks, albeit frequent ones.

Thats what i mean, in the US they dont get any ad breaks at all on ppv

Fedor did look like he was out of place against the cage. When Rogers' was in his guard I was really scared he would pin Fedor up against the cage and wail on him.

Was it the music from Pride 32 : The real deal ? That was the best entrance of all time IMO . I have no idea why we didn't hear/see it again

HD net had a special called Dutch Dynasty, featuring dutch fighters in k1 and mma.

they showed 3 overeem fights all within 14 months of each other.. he didn't look like the same person in the last, i would bet every penny i own that he juices, its just not possable to put on that kinda muscle in such a short time, that being said... he is the only fighter i worry about fedor fighting, dudes a monster, and he's got skill to go with it.

i would rather see overeem vs lesnar tbh.

Overreem won't be able to pass the testing.
