Three time King of Pancrase & former UFC Heavyweight Champion.

He can really **** you up.

I have the full Lethal Street Fighting DVD and some of the techniques are simply ruthless.

Him, Wanderlei Silva and Feodor are a trip.

Fedor is a machine... have you seen the Randleman/Fedor suplex? He should have been carried out on a stretcher, but he wasn't even fazed.

As for Wanderlei, he's easily one of the meanest fighters around. He's signed with the UFC now that PRIDE is gone, he's got a fight with Chuck Liddell scheduled. THAT will be a great match.

Feodro is probably the fighter for whom the terms "best balanced skill set" fits. A Sambo guy who is not afraid to bang away-on his feet or off of them.The way he trains is a thing to behold as well.

He's set to fight Choi Hong-man (7'2" 360lbs) on new years eve.

I'm kindof glad he didn't sign with the UFC. I'm sick of Dana Whites promotional bull****, trashtalk, etc... PRIDE was better to watch. Better fights, better rules.

Now if Randy Couture could just sign up with M-1.

Your right about the promo $hit....the same way promoters have wrecked pro boxing(especially the heavy weight fights)is creeping into MMA.Right now they are still about the fights vs. the pay per view/Don King traveling circus.but these things are gradual.
Pro boxing still has some promising fighters&good fights,butMMA is closer to being "honest" in a few different ways.
