Fedor Emelianenko vs. Jeff Monson fight will take place at Olympic Stadium in Moscow, Russia, on Nov. 20, 2011.
Jeff monson, cmon really maybe 10 years ago this would have been a good fight
How is this a hype video?… Oh s***, they’re signing posters hard core action. Really, Monson is just a can to get Fedor in relevancy once again. So much for idea of a fit, light heavy weight Fedor.
The Best Fight Video Hype ive ever seen…. NOT!!!
how is monson a can they both are cans
/sigh who cares…fedor RETIRE and let us remember the good times..Jeff you are a commi do your anti capitalism stuff just stop taking paychecks for getting both your heads beat in!!!
I got fedor by leg kicks and hand speed…..
Monson is too plodding and too slow.
He’ll walk around the ring, try and box with Fedor, and get knocked out in the first round.
They only show the autograph signing because they have no rights to Fedor’s highlight reel. Zuffa/UFC owns all the Pride and Strikeforce footage. Fedor turning down Dana’s offer two years ago was the worst decision he’s ever made. Tap, Tap! Fedor submitted by rear naked monopoly.
I agree with above, yet I am intrigued at the same time. I would not bet money on either fighter. i have no idea who wins this one!
Yea if Monson beats him then Fedor really is done. I haven’t heard any mention of Monson since he fought Tim Sylvia.
@DaBigFish wait are you saying he’s going to LHW?
M-1 is garbage
Dont care about ratings anymore, he is a legend and ALL his fights are good, I have wanted to see this fight for a longtime too. cant wait!!
Wonder how many people will actually order this fight on PPV. I certainly wouldn’t spend a dime to watch these two fight eachother
Damn! He’s signing the s*** out of those posters!
fedor sucks
Lol, i’m pretty sure it’s lame because they have no rights to Fedors fight videos. Zuffa said no no to that s*** so we are left with a very anticlimactic trailer of a super awesome fan poster signing…I mean super fight.
this fight is irrelevant
Monson – never was relevant.
Fedor – career is over, but he doesnt realise it. Can still be relevant if he gets rid of Vadim and focus on training.
Fedor taking this fight shows that he is done. Trying to add another nobody to his win list.
One washed up, over hyped, wont fight any talented fighter (besides Hendo), unskilled fighter vs. a over the hill midget. Come on, time to hang up the gloves and save your dignety.
monson participated in abu dabi and was armbarred by werdum. werdum said he cranked the arm and heard popping so monson might be injured for the fight.
that’s it? ok yal this is not a good match up at all
This would have been an awesome fight 10 years ago. Now, it’s a bit weird and sad.
Anyone saying s*** about Fedor or Monson have no idea of MMA’s history and evolution.
It’s like saying Royce Gracie sucks now. It makes absolutely no sense. MMA is the fastest evolving sport on Earth because it makes people test everything, old and new, on a daily basis. Fedor and Monson came from a time where people were still figuring it out what worked or not. Now, they are just getting passed by the new supertrained, hight-tech fighters. Call them cans if you want; I am pretty sure most of you who use that word wouldn’t step in a cage or ring to fight any of the cans they beat. Not even the weakest of them.
This will be worth watching, Fedor hasn’t had a boring fight yet.
LOL I like how some people call an ADCC champion and an ex Pride champion cans or say they suck.I do think Fedor isn’t the greatest of all time but come on.If you say things like that it just makes you look dumb.
This will hopefully be the last nail in the coffin for Fedor. Monson might be a can, but he’s at consistent can that will probably beat Fedor now.
Thank you PitFighterZ. The fan base of MMA now that it’s become mainstream is a bunch of kids, who most likely never saw a Pride Event, and remembers Ken Shamrock and Dan Severn as WWF wrestlers. They also seem to think UFC is exclusively the only MMA promotion with any talented fighters. You can’t really compare a Mig3 fighter plane from world war II with the Boeing F-22′s we use now, can you? It’s called progress, evolution. The only thing unfortunate is that Fedor didn’t evolve with the sport… the same skills and techniques that allowed him to dominate 10 years ago is the basic fundamentals now. He’s like the guy who still uses windows 95. So, where I’d like to say f*** you to all the people on trash talking, this fight actually is irrelevant at this point. Sad.
Best ofluck to Fedor coming off 3 loses. If he loses this then he might as well get booted out top 10.
fedor win or lose, people still watch, whoever he fights he makes an exciting fight, just like wanderlei, win or lose that fight is awesome, not a lot of fighters can do that.
Someone get Fedor a job at the recycling depot. He is the ultimate can crusher.
Let’s face it, Fedor is not a top 10 HW. Top 20 ? Maybe. Forget rankings and forget his past, he is what he is, today. He will never beat top HW guys again. New fighters are younger, bigger, fitter and more skilled. He is today what he is today. He is fighting Monson for a few bucks. He’s not looking for a shot at any titles. His best days and opportunities are behind him. That said, I’m guessing all of you will be watching this “irrelevant” fight. Fedor has brought excitement to this sport for many years. He deserves a little respect.
this sort of BS is bad for the sport as it gains more worldwide attention.
It reeks of pitting irrelevant fighters against contenders and high level athletes just as happens in boxing CONSTANTLY.
Bad judging, bad promotions, blatant cheating, etc, all of this stuff is bad for the sport. horrible stuff.
seriously guys jeff monson is not a can a couple years ago he beat both sergei kharitonov and roy nelson. he has one multiple grappling tourneys. obviously he is not a top heavyweight or anything but a solid fight for fedor considering he lost his last three and is no longer under the zuffa banner. i thought he would indeed fight a nobody just some random fighter that has never fought anyone good either that or i thought m1 was gonna feed fedor tim silvia again or maybe a fight with todd duffee
Manfred speaks the truth.
