M-1 has "re-negotiated" after EVERY single fight he has had...it's a joke. M-1 is a joke.
fedor is my favorite fighter ever. But this is all so old now
AJDavis - The fight between Fedor and Antonio will happen. To the nincompoop that diced Antonio for getting knocked down by Mike Kyle, well, yes, he did get knocked down, by a very hard and well placed shot, from a tough fighter from a great camp. Antonio withstood the storm, and demolished Mike in the second rd, proving that he is also good when it gets rough! To say something negative about Antonios performance in that fight shows that you dont understand what your watching!
riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.....mike kyle got cut from the ufc back when their heavyweight division was 2 fighters deep. don't try to act like he was even remotely a contender, or some big win...lol@you
Funny, been doing this for over a decade. Seen fighters that were not so good, become very good, seen fighters that had big names,get their asses repeatedly handed to them til they just dissapeard. They way the average fan jugdes a fighter is short sighted, fighters are like everyone else, they have their good days, and their bad days, their great periods, and the periods when they suck! Their is no one that cant be beat, a loss is part of life. How its dealt with is what shows the true fighter from the weakling!
In Japan, a fighter is judged not so much on if he lost or won, but how hard he fought, how much heart he put into it, how he was when he was under pressure.
To say Mike Kyle sucks cause he got cut from the UFC a while ago is stupid! This guy will definitly be doing very well in the near future...didnt he knock out the current SF champion, Rafael Feijao, a while ago? So Feijao sucks because a guy that got cut from the UFC knocked him out? Things are not that simple, they are not black and white like that, guys are training, they are improving, they are surpassing themselves! We live in a society of TV, of fast results, of ilusions, but the reality of fighting is much harder than that. Mike Kyle came out and knocked Antonio down with a very well placed and powerfull shot, Antonio, all though in trouble, handled himself extremely well, recouped, came back and won. Thats the way the fight went. Was a great fight, was a dramatic fight. Anyone wants to take away from these guys with silly arguements, should go watch Steven Seagall, who would definitly just sweep both these fighters with an aikido chopp! He allways wins!
T-Ham - WAT?
They can't negotiate a deal?
Mind bottling.
Mind boggling even ?
Kirik -epwar - I still don't understand how one gets to negotiate after every fight when they have signed a 3-fight contract. Anyone?
You cannpot have a guy take a significant fight on his final contracted fight. If he wins the promotion is in a horrible position - could even be their champ that leaves. That is what happened with for example Jake Shields. So if the final fight in a contract matters, then you negotiate the next contract first.
