Very vague, but it’s wild speculation time anyway.

It ends in an armbar or a strangle regardless.

Not an interesting fight at all. I’m a Monson fan, but this is not an interesting fight. He might even lay and pray on Fedor for 25 minutes. Either way, not a fight I would pay to see.

Do you honestly believe that Monson can lay and pray Fedor for a full 25 minutes?

LOL

At someone being on top of Fedor for 25 minutes.

Someone not named Brock at least

Make it happen, please.

Agrees. We must save the Vitor Belfort vs Jorge Santiago fight.

by Nick Thomas on Jul 22, 2009 7:19 PM EDT up reply actions

i agree

i’m pretty disappointed that this fight won’t happen if vitor wins the sweepstakes.

by sonofapsycho on Jul 22, 2009 7:23 PM EDT up reply actions

oh well

id rather this this than vitor. i think its likely becuase it looks like werdum and rogers are out of the picture.

Bleh, Belfort appears to be official. Though, I’d hold off for further confirmation.

by a tommy point on Jul 22, 2009 7:35 PM EDT reply actions

This would be more compeditive than Fedor/Vitor.

Keep firing Assholes!

Thanks to Bisping's reenactment of the Battle of Cowpens, walla walla walla I'm an idiot.

Anything that keeps the Belfort/Santiago bout on the card is fine by me.

MOnson is at least a top 10 HW with a good streak going.

by Meshuggeth on Jul 22, 2009 7:41 PM EDT reply actions

He’s definitely on a roll, but he’s fringe top 10 at best. The Sergei win was big, but N/S’ing 10 cans a month shouldn’t get you in the top 10.

by a tommy point on Jul 22, 2009 7:45 PM EDT up reply actions

In such a shallow division, I think he’s top 10.

by Meshuggeth on Jul 22, 2009 7:47 PM EDT up reply actions

Top 10 or not, I think it'd be an ok fight, considering the circumstances

Monson’s paid his dues, and he something of a look and personality. It’d be like a boxing movie, even (or perhaps especially) if he loses.

It ends in an armbar or a strangle regardless.

We have him 12th.

by Richard Wade on Jul 22, 2009 8:22 PM EDT up reply actions

And I think that’s just about right.

by a tommy point on Jul 22, 2009 8:34 PM EDT up reply actions

That makes a pretty good point:

I was considering this fight from a somewhat esoteric perspective, but from a rankings standpoint (as per the “Consensus” rankings), Monson is the highest ranked HW outside of the UFC who hasn’t tested positive for drugs, injured himself, or already turned down the fight. And he just so happens to have been sorta chasing Fedor for years and is in the midst of some sort of crazy perpetual camp.

When they announce that Fedor is fighting Belfort, I’m going to be miffed.

It ends in an armbar or a strangle regardless.

I like Monson

and I hope he does well. I can’t imagine him beating Fedor, but if he should manage, to the uproar and confusion to follow will be amazing.

I just wanna see Fedor fight. I don’t care who. Someone who will last longer than 1 rd at least. Snowman could do it…right?

Bring on Monson, that’s who I wanna see.
