"Michael Bisping: Fedor Emelianenko could be fighting injured
By: Jesse Holland


Props: The Sun

Quoteworthy:

It’s going to be good to see if Fedor is still the man but I’ve heard on the grapevine from inside sources that he could be injured. But this is time for Fedor to step up. Everyone knows what Tim Sylvia is all about but Fedor’s had an aura about him for a long time. The guy was devastating in Pride but he’s had a long lay off now and his last couple of fights have been against smaller guys. It’ll be interesting to see if he’s still got what he had in Pride - which I’m sure he has - because the guy’s probably the best fighter in MMA history.


UFC middleweight Michael “The Count” Bisping comments on the upcoming fight between former PRIDE heavyweight champion Fedor Emelianenko and former UFC heavyweight champion Tim “The Maine-iac” Sylvia at Affliction: Banned on July 19 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California."

Has anyone else heard about this supposed "injury"? Plus concerning the "smaller guys"- I know Hong Man Choi isn't a great fighter but he's got nothing on being "small".

Some of the best fighters had to deal with fighting injured, it happens in MMA. If some of the best fighters can handle it, the best of the best can handle it. I'm confident in Fedor, this injury, what ever it is will not affect Fedor (IMO).

I'm right there with you man- I think Fedor could overcome a lot of injuries and still win- I was just mainly wondering if Bisping was full of crap or if Fedor is actually dealing with some injury.

I plan on betting a huge amount of credits on Fedor so I'm looking to see if this has any merit to it all.

Fedor's had to fight injured a lot because of that hand injury he had back in Pride. I'm confident he will overcome any injuries and tap Timmy out.

It's probably his hand again, he only needs one for this fight..
Wait around for a bit feel Tim out, right OR left hand lead stuns Tim, then takedown. Then Fedor will do as Fedor wants to do.
