I was just about to start a similar thread....
Anybody know what time and what channel it will be on?
Also, what bars are a good bet to be showing the entire card? |

I can't wait for this event. Choi is going to hit the mat hard.
I'm guessing SuperAction will cover the event. |

Can somebody go to the Super Action website and check to see if they're airing the fight? I would, but my computer doesn't support Korean text. |

Hardly. If he was, then he wouldn't be running from Captain America.
Fedor needs to fight Couture this year or he needs to start up his own WWF. |

Fedor won't sign with UFC, and UFC won't work with M-1. So. . .? |

Couture is out of the UFC now...so he can fight for any organization after his contract expires. Fedor has no where to run. |

AFAIK Couture's resignation was never final, and the UFC never released him from his contract.
Personally, I'd like to see Fedor do a UFC fight. Either that or a title merger between UFC and M-1. |

the bottom line is this... fedor wanted to fight couture and the ufc turned the fight down... they would not agree to the fight unless fedor was under a ufc contract... and in case you haven't figured it out by now... the ufc is slowly trying to create a monopoly... that of course... benefits big business... not the fans that want to see the best matchups. SO... couture's contract with the ufc expires in october 2008... at that time, and any moment after... the fedor/couture fight is a true reality... the problem is... couture is no spring chicken... so, the sooner the better... UNTIL then, we have to settle for fedor fighting the korean carny tomorrow night. |

I don't see it really as a bad thing...one major company that is looked upon as the elite fighting league. Like any other league, you want one league so that you can see who really is the best. Don't you think?
Personally, I don't think Fedor didn't want to come to the UFC because he would have gotten his ass handed to him. Probably in the same fashion as Crocop. |
