Prob check this out just to see if Fedor continues to decline and looses again. This is a better match up for him than his past few, but Hendo can end it with one punch.

i'll probaly end up watching this also, i love Fedor but gotta go with Henderson in this one.

Exciting fight and I really have no problem with the stoppage. Fedor was out cold and yes he recovered for a second but he just would of kept getting ground and pound, and would of been out cold again. I've never been a big Fedor guy, and I think it might time for him to hang it up, just can't hang with top competition anymore.

 

[No More Sorrow]

Yeah i thought the fight was great even with the stoppage, i think that he needs to retire this is his third loss in a row, and it reminds me so much of Chuck Lidell who would keep fighting because he thought he was still one of the best in the world, when he clearly wasn't he kept asking for more fights and he had nothing else to prove, neither does Fedor.

 

[Ben]

He still has the skills he just needs to be not so damn stubborn and change his style. He can't just go up there and throw punches with guys anymore, he's actually got to use some strategy. Still think he fights again, but it would be murder to see him go up against any of the top UFC guys right now.

 

[No More Sorrow]

Yeah he'll definitely fight again sometime and he'd get destroyed in the UFC, if he does fight again who do you think it could be against?
