A report from user ikari47:
Fedor was basically playing with Aoki. He allowed him to get sub attempts like a flying armbar, a leg lock attempt, and even takedowns like the double leg and a nice seoi-nage.
Watching it though, you could very much tell that Fedor was allowing Aoki live and catch stuff for the sake of the fans. It didn’t stop him from picking him up and slamming him all around the place though, locking up subs of his own before letting go to stand back up. There was one instance where Fedor pounded the ground with a huge fist, right next to Aoki’s head—kind of a sign that, "hey, I can stop this at any moment, kiddo."
Both were all smiles all the way through the exhibition though, so I imagine they were having lots of fun.

Wow, judging by the pics, I’m going to go out on a limb here and say Fedor destroyed Aoki.
http://www.fourouncestofreedom.com
I’m sure someone will have a write-up before too long, but from what I could understand, Aoki actually got a takedown. That’s gotta be a moral victory. Fedor powered out of an armbar attempt and heel hooked Aoki for the tap.
Sounds like the dance routine was pretty cool though:

Cool lookin gear they had on. I knew Fedor would tap that ass. Wait what? o_O I want video!

Great work Chris
I’ll rec’d this, I’m very curious to see the Fedor vs Aoki…… too bad Aoki couldn’t use his “hot boy” pants.
Yeah, apparently he took it off with about 40 seconds left.

Yeah, we all know that’s a no-no. Nakamura anyone?

He tapped to the heel hook a little before 3 minutes in, which was the time limit anyway.

Go Fedor, show Aoki what a real heel hook feels like. And that first picture is hilarious.

It is! The first thought that came to my head after seeing it was, at the ring of the bell Aoki jumping on Fedor screaming “BONZAIIIIIIII!!!!!”

No, not a match...
…the DEEP/M-1 Challenge.
That’s why I didn’t write, “match,” and instead went with, “event.” You know, for precision and stuff.

drug test results for the DEEP/M-1 Challenge are pretty low on my list of concerns.

Huh. You don’t care about that at all? Maybe I should have asked everyone of who reads this post instead of just addressing it to you alone then.
Oh….wait! I did! Look at me – all “open question” and shit. It’s like I’m aware that you’re not the only one reading and writing in this forum. As though this were some kind of open system that’s hosted on a machine as part of a world-wide interconnected mass of private networks forming a kind of information superhighway! CRAZY!
The point of all of this, had I not been side-tracked (by what I can presume was your desire to be a smart-ass? Is that accurate? Or actually playing gotcha? Throw me a bone here) was to call attention to the fact that we have another event where participants were allowed to get juiced up on horse-hormones and show up to the event coked to the gills on however much Bolivian marching powder they could fit into their carry-on luggage. And further, that since we don’t know how big any particular fighter’s carry-on was, given that they were flying in on different airlines with different rules about overhead compartments – and some of the Japanese fighters might be into cosplay, so they could have had purses or robot-suits full of compartments – we can’t make any real judgments based on these results as to which fighters were better/faster/stronger (or harder, for that matter) than their opponents and can only say that the American and British teams have convinced us of the superiority of their drug dealers and/or pharmacists and/or horse testosterone donors.
But you know, thanks for… well, for whatever you were contributing by responding! ;-P

He’s from Brazil and was in one of their major camps. Do they not care in the M-1 Challenge in terms of nationalities?

I hear the next event will have Fedor doing the Samba with a dancing bear. Don’t worry – it’s only an exhibition.

Hey, nothing surprises me…
My Dad once went on a business trip to Alaska to teach an ammunitions class to Army trainees. He stayed at some lodge/resort. Steven Seagal was staying there as he was doing some sort of movie up there at the time.
Somebody at the bar who worked at the lodge told him that the staff was running around with a search crew during the evening because apparently Steven Seagal wanted to actually fight a bear. Nobody could find the guy. Few hours later, he came out of the woods…
Funny thing is… that was around the time everyone was saying he was a tad nuts, but nobody had any proof. I don’t think he ever found a bear to fight, but that’s just batshit crazy. Almost as funny as the time my Dad met Slyvester Stallone in the Hawaiian Islands and subsequently almost got his ass beat for taking a picture of him, but it’s a funny story. I always give him shit because I didn’t believe it for years until I met his army buddy who was on the same trip with him.
Moral of the story: People will fight bears, lol, anything can happen. M-1 mgiht pull a fast one.

Seagal probably thought he could pull that neck twist move he uses in every movie on a bear.
I dislike Matt Hughes.
That was right when he began going crazy, trying to snap poacher’s necks and shit even though they were controlled hunts. He was doing all sorts of wacky shit trying to preserve reservations for Native Americans and stuff. I mean, his mind was in the right place in terms of helping people, but he was off the deep end.

Achilles Lock?
Chris, I was reading a report from Dan Herbertson who was photographing the event for Sherdog, that said Fedor used a straight achilles lock, not a heel hook to tap Aoki. Was this the case?
It might make more sense, as they they probably didn’t want to risk injuring each other with heel hooks during an “exhibition”.
Herbertson was there. He’s definitely right.

That’s awesome.
I bet Aoki was starstruck. I saw him say on his blog that he wanted to do purikura with Fedor.
by Chris Nelson on Apr 29, 2009 1:16 PM EDT up reply actions
Impossible.
I couldn’t even get Fedor to interview him for a full 15 minutes.
I doubt Aoki could get him for more in a Purikura parlor.
"It didn’t stop him from picking him up and slamming him all around the place though"
That is hilarious to hear. I can see Aoki flying thru the air screaming “holy shit” in Japanese. This must be what it would be like for a normal person to spar with a polar bear.

Yeah, there was an instance when Aoki had an armbar, I think, and Fedor just lifted him up and brandished him over his head like he was about to plant him through the canvas. Aoki’s mouth went wide and he just let go and flopped to the canvas.
That is just great!
I cannot wait to see this.

Just like the rest of us. I feel confident in saying that Aoki shat his pants while that flight was in progress.

Fightlinker has a link to an incredible translation of the match:
HYODORU feet and arms to launch a cross-Sambo to throw an exciting again from Aoki, Hashi Aoki escape, take off your jacket on. ???????MITSUKU and the HYODORU and successful takedown by throwing rolls. ????? But the move to consolidate HYODORU where the Achilles tendon. ?????? Aoki then TAMARAZU "ITETETE" voice of the tap! ???????? The match took place on one HYODORU. Both were sent from the floor to the loud cheers.Fucking amazing.
Shinya Aoki Ring Mike on the "first word, I say please. What’s wrong with nudity. Today we got a good experience. So I do not know how many times after watching a player in Japan HYODORU today HYODORU I’d like to cheer the players. "

I know he is a good wrestler, but...
…he couldn’t beat Ric Flair in his heyday. He’s the best pro wrestler of all time! And he couldn’t beat HHH because he is now the best. If Fedor tried that fancy oriental shit triple H would just put him in the Pedigree and knock him out for the 1…2…3!
hehe
just kidding of course.
well we all know
in a real MMA fight Aoki would KO fedor with one of those big right hands

By the way...
the title of this post is not my own, and was probably just changed to get us more search engine hits.
I don’t think it’s really even worth noting that Aoki tapped, as this was clearly just for fun.
All the people still griping about this may need to check their priorities. :)
yes
that was me blogwhoring Chris’ headline.
"the spirit of your average dumbass with more overblown rhetoric" OR "the self-appointed savior of MMA"
Don’t get me wrong, it’s accurate – Aoki tapped. I just hope people don’t read too much into it.
by Chris Nelson on Apr 29, 2009 2:49 PM EDT up reply actions
… you mean read too much into it like that Fedor was clearly superior to Aoki, or that Aoki really had no chance, or that the size difference actually did end up making this such a mismatch even from a grappling standpoint that it was really not even very interesting, or …
I think the fact that Fedor was able to just throw him around like a rag doll and was able to basically let Aoki try submissions and not even have to worry about it just further proves what a freakshow waste of everyone’s time it was. And I think all the people still defending it may need to check their priorities.

CORRECTION
70kg: David Jansen (10-0) def. Nam Yuichul (8-3) via Unanimous Decision (3-0) in Round 2
I had originally transcribed it the other way around. So Team USA West pulled off a clean sweep of South Korea.
