Everyone has good points. I personally never thought about why randy never went after fedor when he retired. I always assumed it had something to do with his ufc contract; even as a retired fighter. Either way, he doesn't stand a good chance at winning "now".

As far as chuck goes; I believe he will fight anyone! Not that he should fight fedor (at all!) just that he doesn't let the thought of losing into his thought process. I love that about him!

even as he slows down...

i love chuck too but everyone has there time to go. not everyone is randy and can keep fighting into their 40's. matt hughes made it to his mid 30'2 before he started slowing down.i like ken shamrock but he needs to stop fighting.hes losing to people that 10 years ago he would be shoving their foot down their throat. if you read the contract stipulations dana white made for fedor youd understand why hed never sign. first, fedor couldnt do anything without permission of the ufc. second, he couldnt compete in sambo. third, if he won, his contract was extended for eight more fights. and if he was still winning after the ninth fight, it would automatically renew itself. but if the ufc wanted to, they could rip up his contract at anytime they wanted to. it proves what a clever douchebag dana white is. but the funny part is that fedor isnt american and he could just not come back to america and say fuck it dana i can do what i want. russia isnt a member of the world trade organization and wont be for a while after what happened in georgia.what does this have to do with anything? simple the world trade organization is
sort of the world trade enforcement and if a country does something unscrupulous, the other nations on the board put pressure on them. dana could complain to them if russia was a member. theres no way dana white could make fedor stick to it besides fedor agreeing to it. i think dana knows this too.

Dude, I garauntee the WTO wouldn't get involved in that. Not that they actually have anything better to do, it is a joke that it even exists...but that's a entirely different subject.

well the point was that dana white can easily use the courts to make an american citizen abide by his rules but they would be sol on trying to make a foreign citizen obey them.

whenever this topic appears I now have one more solid reason...bj penn...

bj has become to much a whiner, and now he is trying to freeze GSP's career and have him suspended while his new formal complaint (which he said he originally wasn't going to file) goes through.

Bj plans on delaying the ufc 100 gsp/alves fight and having it removed from the ufc 100 card

this was said during an interview with a local hawaii radio station.

i doubt this willl happen, but this is just low, trying to freeze a mans career so Gsp can't make any money.

also the real reason bj is not fighting at ufc 99 was revealed, it was not that he wants time with his family, it is actually that when he fought overseas before, not enough people bought the pay per view and he didn't make near as much money as he did in when fighting in the states.

it is a fair reason to not fight overseas, there was no need to lie about family (so when he says he does not fight for the money , that is a lie), and no need to try to freeze gsp's career, this is obviously a personal vandetta, and only goes to show more of a lack of character on penns part

also if any one wants to see major vaseline put on a guy during a fight, go to youtube and look up greasegate rich franklin for anderson silva 2

and notice the huge blob of vaseline left on franklins shoulder and then watch it again and notice that the trainer goes straight to the chest of franklin then the shoulders and never touches his face, then rubs the neck..

funny how a real champ (anderson silva) and a man of class never complained

funny enough, there are also shots of Stitch accidently applying grease to hughes face ten directly to his shoulders,

also after stitch applied vaseline to kos in the uk fight which he got knocked out at, stitch rubbed down kos's face than patted him on the back..

...which proves nothing esxept the point about how easily it can be done accidentally. And as for the Franklin one specifically, if you watch it early enough, he does put it on his face, at which point the little glob falls on his shoulder and then is never touched. Clearly an accident.

That said, I mostly agree with you about BJ.
