I think Bader can beat Lil Nog, but I doubt either one will have much to say to Jon Jones.

"rumors" are that once Fedor lost to Werdum, that it pretty much solidified the fact that he will resign with Strikeforce.
Things can change, I don't think his loss means in any way that Dana won't come after him, but there are the "rumors"....
 
Fedor was the WAMMA Heavyweight Champion (and still is)...I don't think there is such a thing as an M-1 Global Championship

You may be right; I just hate Bader w/ a passion, lol, but I still think Nog is a much better and well-rounded fighter.

Fedor has 1 more fight left on his SF contract and has already stated he wants to resign with SF. I've not heard of him retiring or leaving SF

I guarantee Dana would sign him if he could but it won't happen since either will budge on their stance with the co promotion thing. I don't see Fedor coming to the UFC unless he leaves M1. The problem I see with Fedor is, he will fight anybody, it's the goons at M1 that does all the talking and all the negotiations. Fedor has some say but I hate the fact that he is with those people. I partially blame him for being there.

I think Bader has a great chance of beating Lil Nog. the Nogs have both lost a step in their games. They just are not as fast and hardy as they used to be. Big Nog being the worse out of the two. But I will still root for Lil Nog, hope he comes thru with a sub or even ko. Either way, if Bones gets the winner, I pick Bones. I actually pick Bones to beat either guy

Vitor vs Okami makes since. The mw div is not a deep div right now.
 
who you got? I think jones, but something tells me bader can stuff the Take down and land one of his haymakers and KTFO bones jones
Worst prediction ever.

You guys missed this a little while ago.
Ufc won't sign him since his lost he don't hold a high stock anymore they might but it won't be a immediate title shot like b4 also its his management that don't want him with ufc cause they know he will loose
The UFC would sign in a heartbeat if the deal wasn't so ludicrous. At one point, Fedor's mgmt wanted the UFC to build a stadium in Russia AND partner with them (read: Russian mafia). Also wanted a non exclusive contract. Dana wears his heart on his sleeve, and there was no one happier than him to see Fedor lose as sort of a revenge "I told ya so." Would Fedor have lost in the UFC? Absolutely. He would have won a bunch too, but who knows how it would have worked out. To say that Fedor's stock dropped is a weak claim. He's still a HUGE draw and a HUGE contender in any organization. But with fighters cutting to 265 and weighing 280-285 at fight time, it's hard to believe he would have gone undefeated against some of those behemoths.

Fedor's problem is motivation. He would have been an amazing 205lb IMO. He's around 230-240 with the ability to drop ~25lbs pretty easily if he tried. That would have been a great weight for him. He wouldn't have looked so "soft" around the middle and his already fast hands would have been even faster.
Yushin Okami vs. Vitor Belfort for # 1 contender spot.
Should be great. I wonder which Vitor shows up? He is probably my all time favorite... even the emotional crying Vitor all roided out.
One of my favorite fights (only because of the brutality of the worst cut ever):

I've not heard this yoshi

the latest I've read was Fedor wants an immediate rematch, but Werdum is going to be out for surgery, then he stated he wants to fight Overeem. but Overeem has already announced his commitment to fight in the K1 GP. He's been calling Fedor out for a couple of years or watever, then Fedor lost, so he thought the Fedor fight was out of the question for now since he was supposed to get the winner. Then he hears about the surgery, so he then made up his mind to fight in K1. Now that he has announced that, then Fedor calls him out so it is kind of silly. This is all according to Overeem. Which he seems to be correct. Fedor did say he wants to fight him, but that was already after Overeem announced that he wanted to fight K1 since he didn't want to wait for Werdum

I think if he knew he'd get Fedor he would not have commited to K1 since he did say his priority is SF. Not only that, the dumb thing about M1 is that they are saying they want Fedor vs Overeem but they want to do olympic style testing. WTF????

this is so retarded it's kind of funny. You want to test Overeem all based on his looks. Overeem has never tested positive for any illegal substances that I know of. And if they were so concerned, why the heck did M1 accept a fight with Josh Barnett, who has failed drug testing on 3 occasions. seriously wtf??? I think M1 is afraid of Overeem to be honest. Not fedor, but M1 is afraid of him,.........
