Trash VentThe number one spot to vent!

Now that the dust has settled and UFC 91 is over. The number one Heavyweight in the world Fedor Emelianenko has come out openly and expressed and interest in fighting Brock Lesnar. The fight has been a suggested co-promoted fight has been offered between M-1, and Affliction Entertainment and the UFC. Zuffa has already turned down the offer.

The problem with signing Fedor to the UFC has always been disagreements over contracts and who’s ego was bigger.

“I think Lesnar fought a very smart fight,” Emelianenko told Sherdog.com on Tuesday. “It was very interesting to watch. I think one of his strengths was that — I was impressed by his speed in the fight. I think just from watching the fight, each fighter was waiting for the other one to make a mistake and I think Lesnar was very fortunate to have caught Randy and prevail.”

The apparent super fight between Randy and Fedor now looks like a thing of the past.

“To tell you the truth, I wasn’t entirely excited in fighting Randy. I have a great deal of respect and admiration for him. Getting in the ring with someone that, I myself, adore as a person and a fighter, I’m never as interested in getting in the ring with someone I have an emotional attachment to.”

“I would choose Lesnar, mainly for the reason I mentioned before,” said Emelianenko. “I’m very sympathetic to Randy. We hung out together. We got to know each other. I have a lot of warm feelings toward him. Based on that, if I had my choice without any outside forces involved, I would choose Lesnar.”

Feodr’s next match looks to be vs Andrei Arlovski at Affliction 2 “Day of Reckoning” on Jan. 24 in Anaheim, Calif. The event will be co-promoted by M-1.There is no telling if Emelianenko vs Lesnar will ever happen but there is always a possiblity.

Looks like the Trump has managed to get his fat head and sticky hands into the world of MMA. Although I do not blame him for wanting to get a piece of the pie, I don’t know if I exactly like the idea of having his involvement in a sport that has yet to be appreciated by the baby boomers. We all know that comb over Trump does bring some assets to the ring. Money, the Trump Taj Mahal and an over the top Reality TV personality. But he also brings some negatives. What the hell does this guy think he knows about MMA and what we the fans are really looking for when we watch the fights.

The other day I saw an interview with the Don on TV. He was giving a press conference, talking about his plans with Affliction all of a sudden he stops to take a phone call from no other than Andrea Arlovski. Staged you say? No…Mr Trump would never try to pull something like that. Of course he would this is what this idiot is famous for! Fans who like watching the sport want to see big fights. The whole reason MMA evolved was to see styles vs styles fights. That way there would be a clear cut answer to who reigns supreme in a full contact fight. We are not looking for another WWE and we sure as hell are not excited to see another Vince Mcmahon. Trump offers nothing to the sport accept fat pockets to perhaps take on the UFC.

News flash to Donald Trump… stick to what you are good at that means wearing makeup on your down sliding reality show ‘The Apprentice” or raising funds to develop commercial property.  If you really are here to make the sport better, start by putting fights back in the cage and developing serious weight categories. Another plus would be to look for some cross promos.
