the fight shouldnt have gone to the 2nd round..The fetal position isn't an intelligent defense!   :-\ nice win though.

well brock won and ol carwin has his first loss. that was a nice choke but dang he looked bad in that first round. everytime carwin hit him he covered up and ran backwards. i think carwin may have punched himself out. seems like brock turned over a new leaf since his illness.

i think carwin will do it! i dont think lesnar has fought someone with the striking ability carwin has plus he should be able to match lesnars wrestling... either way should be an awesome fight!

i just read an interview where werdum said that fighting overeem would be a step backwards and he wanted to give fedor a rematch only this time he wants to fight fedor in russia!!

SAN JOSE, Calif. – Just as he had following each one of his astonishing 27 consecutive victories, Russian heavyweight Fedor Emelianenko (31-2 MMA, 1-1 SF) entered the night's post-event press conference with little visible emotion. Despite the fact that the MMA world had been turned on its head following Emelianenko's 69-second loss to Fabricio Werdum (14-4-1 MMA, 3-0 SF) in the main event of Saturday's Showtime-broadcast "Strikeforce and M-1 Gloabl: Fedor vs. Werdum" event, "The Last Emperor" remained his usual stoic self as reporters tried to dissect how and why the sport's greatest heavyweight had been so quickly deposed. After all, as Emelianenko explained, how could he be disappointed at what was obviously God's will? "I'm really very sorry," Emelianenko told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) through his interpreter. "It's a pity that I disappointed people who really believed in me and trusted in me, but everything in this life happens for some reason. "If God decided it that way, that means that was the best way for this very time. I thank God for everything." In the opening moments of the contest, things seemed to go according to plan. An early barrage of Emelianenko's powerful leaping hooks left Werdum on the ground, and the Russian terminator quickly followed to the ground to finish off his wounded prey. But Emelianenko was entering the lion's den by willfully engaging Werdum on the floor, and the former PRIDE champion admitted his actions were a bit misguided. "At the very beginning of the round, I hit Fabricio, and I wanted to finish as soon as possible," Emelianenko said. "At that very moment, I made a mistake." Werdum immediately secured Emelianenko's arm, and he would never get it back. Werdum retained the appendage while working himself into a combination triangle choke and armbar lock from which the Russian would not escape. For the record, Emelianenko said it was the pressure of the triangle choke that forced him to tap. Emelianenko also said his inability to work free showed a weakness in his game. "At the very moment when I had to escape, I stopped," Emelianenko said. "I didn't do that, and that moment was used by Fabricio to finish his lock. "I try to work out so that to come up to the fight in my best shape. The fight showed that maybe I didn't work enough. Maybe I didn't work a lot somewhere, and I didn't manage to make all my technique become automatic. That means I will have to work more." And there will be more. Much of the pre-fight discussion surrounding Emelianenko focused on how much longer the 33-year-old would remain actively fighting. And while the loss was certainly an astonishing setback, Emelianenko said he has every intention to return for at least the one fight remaining on his deal with Strikeforce. "My health, I'm in very good condition," Emelianenko said. "I feel myself very, very good. I will have one more fight here. I will be continuing." As for that next fight, Emelianenko said he would appreciate the opportunity to avenge the first true defeat of his storied 10-year-career. "Certainly I would like to have a rematch with Fabricio," Emelianenko said. "If he agrees, I would love to do that." Emelianenko refused to reflect too much on the unparalleled run of nearly 10 years without tasting defeat. A humble man, the Russian said God has always kept him from taking too much pride in his accomplishments. So while the discussions as to Emelianenko's current relevance in the heavyweight landscape of mixed martial arts are sure to be a hot topic in the coming days – especially in light of the UFC 116 main event between Brock Lesnar and Shane Carwin that lies just seven days away – the stoic Red Devil fighter said this is simply an example of the vulnerability of all fighters. "The one who doesn't fall doesn't stand up," Emelianenko said. "It happens that I was made kind of an idol. Everybody loses. That happens. "I'm a normal human being, as are all of us. If it is God's will, the next fight I'll win." And with the same calmness that he's shown throughout the run that may never again be equaled in mixed martial arts, Emelianenko said if anything, he was relieved. "No pressure at all," Emelianenko said. "There is some relief because tomorrow I will go back home."

How funny though, did I not pm you earlier and tell you I was nervous about this fight?!   ;D   Fedors next fight he will fight with a chip on his shoulder!    >:( :o I believe that Werdum beat Aleksander the same way he beat Fedor, with a triangle choke. [/quote] Some things to think about; According to his past schedule it will be well over a year before he fights again and he'll be that much older. When he does fight again, will it be a top contender? He avoided Overeme for a long time. Could be a long time before he fights a another top fighter. [/quote] he has one fight left on his contract so look for an immediate re-match. werdum wants it and im sure fedor would oblige him. strikeforce will be in houston in late august, wouldnt be a bad place for the rematch!  ;D ;D

can you believe the beating cyborg put on that girl!? she hung in there though, plus you have to admit fighting cyborg is like fighting a grown a$$ man! lol

I told baseball I had a bad feeling about tonight! Werdum was the best BBJ fighter since Fedor fought Big Nog!    :'( :'( :'( :'( WHY OH WHY DID HE JUMP INTO WERDUMS GUARD???   ;) Both were all class after the fight. I cant wait to see Werdum and Overeem. So whos #1 now? I think it should be the winner of Lesnar and Carwin.

[quote name="baseball25" post="812193" timestamp="1276455743"] Barry broke his hand in first round and foot in the fight. [Hidden Content] [/quote] :o    franklin broke his arm and crocops face looked bad also... seems like there will be quite a few medical suspensions.

[quote name="mat" post="812107" timestamp="1276431347"] You're right about Chuck. Rich looked tough. I think Tito would have taken Chuck this time. There were some good fights last night. The only reason Crocrop made it out of the frst round is because Berry allowed him to. That was Berry's big mistake, not finishing him when he had him hurt. Crocrop showed resiliance through the fight. [/quote] was barry just that unsure of his ground game? crocop took a couple of shots no doubt...
