Shit man pro ice FTW thanks man! Phone Post

great time in MMA.(kinda MMA)

Wasn't the Fedor vs Arona fight a controversial decision?

OnlyTheStrongSurvive - Wasn't the Fedor vs Arona fight a controversial decision?


It was Arona had more takedowns and positional control.But Fedor had more sub attempts and landed better strikes.

If you ever see Big Nog vs. Ricco Rodriguez or Bas vs. Randleman,it was along those lines more or less.

Wasa-B - Was it this one that Fedor and Randy would have met?


 Couture would've faced Nogueira in the final, if he'd beat Overeem

 Just noticed I miss read your post Wasa-B lol  



Yeah Randy would've faced Fedor in the quarter final if Fedor hadn't lost to Kohsaka (cut)
