Randy Couture And Fedor Affliction Photo Shoot

Posted By: Bruno Published in Fighter Talk

Jan

Randy Couture and Fedor Emelianenko got together for a photo shoot to help promote Couture’s Affliction clothing line. Emelianenko now has his own Affliction shirt, shorts , jacket and more soon to be sold in the U.S.

It is hoped that the two can get something worked out for a future fight between the heavyweight champs. Fedor continues to say that they will fight in the near future. It looks like it’s going to come down to if Couture comes out on top of the Zuffa law suit or not. If the suit is worked out quickly we may yet get the fight everyone wants to see.

Photos are courtesy of m1mixfight.com More of the photo shoot can be seen there.

Cant wait for this, I think randy will beat him. The reason all the pride guys are losing in the UFC is because they cant take seriods like they used to in PRIDE. As in Japan they dont check you after a fight

WOO

EM Says, in 1-22-2008 at 14:20:21 from 76.113.36.195

Too bad all that shit went down between Randy and the UFC. People sometimes gotta do what they gotta do. I’m not so interested in this fight as I would with Randy against someone like Kimbo Slice if Kimbo would agree to it. Randy would probably win, but it would be interesting to see. Damn, what happened to Kendall Grove? And, will someone whoop Faber soon?!

EL striko Says, in 1-22-2008 at 14:39:03 from 69.154.31.45

fedor is great but randy has heart like know one else it comes down to who has mastered juistriksu…..Viva El Striko

i_are_Baboon Says, in 1-22-2008 at 14:40:29 from 96.232.146.74

that is so not cool

Beast Says, in 1-22-2008 at 14:56:06 from 151.204.155.140

Yea, i idolize randy. Hes a great fighter. I remember that fight against Gonzaga. He impressed me. I respect this man. Hopfully one day ill be as good as him. If not better.

Peter Huynh Says, in 1-22-2008 at 15:11:43 from 72.53.152.196

Is it me, or does Fedor seriously look like he likes getting sprayed in the face?

markus Says, in 1-22-2008 at 15:31:53 from 205.133.126.120

whoa, gives me the chills seeing those 2 standing next to one another in person

I know MMA Says, in 1-22-2008 at 15:51:19 from 99.246.129.176

Fedor will demolish Randy quicker than Hightower taking out Bowman.

Pipin’ Piped!

MMA KiD Says, in 1-22-2008 at 16:07:10 from 216.183.138.31

ohhh this FIGHT IS GOING TO BE SOO GOOD….

i am pretty mad at the ufc for the crap they did to randy hopfully he get the fight

tonysnow Says, in 1-22-2008 at 16:16:22 from 68.49.145.10

man forget all this hype just make this fight happen and quit with this whole lawsuit crap

Luis Says, in 1-22-2008 at 17:16:43 from 74.254.8.2

black gerbil, prove which pride fighter has been caught with steroids compared to which ufc fighters have been caught with steroids.

YmBSnakeEye Says, in 1-22-2008 at 17:30:29 from 206.112.75.238

I am going to put my house on Fedor to win… and I feel he will win in a dominant way.

Brendan Says, in 1-22-2008 at 18:22:15 from 146.171.254.66

Black Gerbil1 is an idiot,Don’t listen to a thing he says.

I have great repect for Randy but Fedor is in another league.Randy’s recent success is simply because the UFC’s heavyweight division is so crap.Its no wonder he went to heavyweight as the light heavyweight division has a few decent contenders that have schooled him.

Rick Says, in 1-22-2008 at 19:19:57 from 75.80.174.87

Hypothetically, if this is a fight for best in the world, and Randy wins, is he really the best in the world? He lost to Chuck Liddell and hasnt avenged that loss nor will they ever fight again. Obviously there arnt tournaments anymore but but its an interesting concept.

jazast Says, in 1-22-2008 at 19:23:11 from 152.10.164.186

fedor is great but Randy is too smart a fighter and has to much strategy to lose

Black Gerbil1 Says, in 1-22-2008 at 19:43:41 from 78.150.121.119

okay im an idiot:S.

How many times has Shogun gassed in a fight? NEVER untill he come to the UFC and lost to Forrest Griffin, most likely because he could’nt take illegal steriods because he was going to get tested after the fight.

Wanderial Silva was looking smaller then he usally does when he thought chuck I wonder why?

hmmmm

mma fanatic Says, in 1-22-2008 at 21:49:41 from 12.197.207.179

Randy would win period. I hope this fight will happen but it almost seems like it never will.

Bloodlinez Says, in 1-22-2008 at 22:06:35 from 207.216.166.183

Hmm yea you’re right Gerbil

Yep must be why Rampage is getting wrecked and worked over all the time or why Anderson Silva loses all his fights…

Not quite if you hadnt noticed you named 2 fighters who had to change a lot of their fight game when the entered into the UFC because of the differences in the rules

I say the reason Pride fighters havent been doing to well is they havent gotten over the rule change yet where a fighter like Rampage or Anderson Silva the UFC rules dont affect their fight game actually better yet its a better set of rules for them which is why they are murdering over there

Sean Says, in 1-22-2008 at 22:44:01 from 72.86.99.169

I have all the respect in the world for Randy Couture. But I’m sorry, I don’t see him beating Fedor in a million years.
It is interesting to think about how the UFC would have painted that fight. The ol’ Captain America vs The Unbeatable Russian. We all know how that story ends. With it becoming more and more apparent that judges decisions are being…uh…encouraged, it’s no wonder Fedor wanted nothing to do with the UFC. I don’t mean to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but think about it for a second. Fedor is a very respectable person as well, but I want to see someone slay the giant. I want to see it IN A FAIR FIGHT though.

sasasasa Says, in 1-23-2008 at 00:49:09 from 24.193.32.8

BLOODLINEZ how about cro crop and Fabricio Werdum? who lost to ufc fighters. Also, yea rand lost to chuck lidell but thats not HW and right now we are talking about the best at HW in the world. IMO i think it would be a tough fight for fedor and im sure enough randy’s amazing skills and training will overpower fedor. He always finds ways to defeats his opponents and fedor won’t different.

mike Says, in 1-23-2008 at 01:04:32 from 89.181.41.112

rampage is the ufc champion and he was from PRIDE… did anyone saw the fights rampage vs wanderlei 2 times and with shogun ??? lol . i would love to see wand or shogun in the RING whith anyone in ufc crap with pride rules. FEDOR is going to kill randy clean you will see… and one more thing the next heavyweight ufc champion will be Antonio Minotauro Nogueira another one from pride lol. God bless Japan.

KAKIHARA Says, in 1-23-2008 at 01:46:09 from 69.79.55.136

HAHAHAAHAHAHAHA Black Gerbil1 are you nuts? Fedor´ll lose to Randy???????????? HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA

Fedor dont needs stroids to kick randy´s ass or anyone else.

chris jr Says, in 1-23-2008 at 03:55:08 from 12.214.213.26

god damn this fight looks of the chain,even the damn photo shoot looked like they were gonna go at it, i can’t wait for these to to bang

dirty 7-30 Says, in 1-23-2008 at 04:09:53 from 99.227.13.44

RC smarter than Fedor?…Yeah.. sure… ummm which intelligent fighter has randy fought? that’s right…in the UFC HW division there is no room for intelligent fighters.

Which powerful fighter has RC fought and beaten?… a guy with lead hands?… or kicks…. hmmmm….

Which guy that, is bar none one of the best grapplers has Couture ever beaten?

Name some one that RC has beaten that excels at any MMA aspect?…ground, striking, brains, cardio…

Now ask the same question about Fedor, and then you will get your answer as to who would win if they fought.

ace Says, in 1-23-2008 at 07:14:09 from 58.152.156.233

fedor will kill randy on the ground and stand up, randy has no chance, and this dirty boxing crap that randy is so proud of is pathetic, it’s just dirty fighting, no respect for that! he couldn’t even beat liddel when he is the bigger man, and fedor is way above liddel’s league! He will squash liddel like a fly!

Bloodlinez Says, in 1-23-2008 at 07:20:16 from 207.216.166.183

I dunno about Werdum I never really watched too many of his fights

Crop Cop two fights with the UFC lets break them down

Gonzaga: This was the 2nd biggest upset of 07 IMO (1st being GSP losing to Matt) no one saw this coming and if you have watched a Cro Cop fight you would know he wasnt fighting like he usually does there was no counter punching or that pushing aggressive style persnally I believe UFC hyped his KO kicks thus he wanted to deliver

Kongo: If you watch this fight you know that Kongo low blowed Cro Cop not once but 3 times in a row. Watch the video Kongo knees cro cop who looks at the ref only to get another knee and just as the ref break them apart he gets another knee. Kongo’s background is in Muay Thai thus these knees are top notch and 3 consecutive knees would be killer to deal with let alone move around effectively.

We shall see how Cro Cop does in his next match

IMO its the curse he always loses whenever he gets close to the title (Randleman and Nogueira)

Black Gerbil1 Says, in 1-23-2008 at 08:12:42 from 78.150.116.204

if ferodr is on riods, then mabye

latinogq Says, in 1-23-2008 at 16:45:53 from 161.216.124.2

UFC rules are so different then Pride.
A good fighter will take a chance and better themselves by making changes in becoming better fighters. Is true that money is been an obstacle for both fighters to meet but given the circumstances they both have done well. Fedor has not yet lost a fight in pride and he has fought big name fighters from all over the world, the same goes for Randy but he has lost few fights this means he has few things to improve. This fight will be interesting but I would prefer to see this fight outside of the cage and see how well he will do.
Fedor comes first in my books
Randy you are the man but I have to give you second place

sasasasa Says, in 1-23-2008 at 17:35:39 from 24.193.32.8

all pride fighters are on riodz lmao.

sasasasa Says, in 1-23-2008 at 17:44:50 from 24.193.32.8

Oh and also another thing. RC beat tons of people and he destroyed and completely dominated tim sylvia and also gabriel gonzaga. He beat tim sylvia after coming out of retirement. I mean cmon he faced an actual good opponent that was tall and strong. Fedor comes back and almost looses to some giant freak with no skills at all. That giant freak just won 1 match again a nobody and gets to fight fedor. On that fight fedor got rocked many times and since the freak had no skills at all he got submitted. I can’t wait to see fedor go against someone with actual skills and strength and strategy. Don’t get me wrong, i know fedor is a beast but please don’t try and downsize couture. Give him some respect because he is a top HW contender and probably #2 top HW in the world. If they fight i am pretty sure someone will get submitted or knocked out. I just hope it happens.

STU Says, in 1-23-2008 at 17:55:44 from 74.250.197.204

Randy is a true champion of and for the sport in every way; but, be real, Fedor dismanetels Randy like everyone else he faces. Fedor is the best fighter in the world…..Period!

face the fact Says, in 1-23-2008 at 20:39:16 from 74.59.197.58

Quit the bullshit about pride fighter using steroid shogun , fedor and cro cop have been tested twice for 2 differents even in Nevada they were all tested negative.Couture beating fedor HAHAHAHAHAH w/e take a good hard look at fedor fights before talking crap

m109r Says, in 1-23-2008 at 20:48:52 from 70.178.145.215

I dont think fedor will beat randy in the cage, Fedor will crumble to randy’s skill in the cage. Fedor is a good fighter just not fighter Randy is. Cant wait to see the the fight.

Black Gerbil1 Says, in 1-23-2008 at 21:41:14 from 78.149.13.79

Fedor over hyped peice of rioded up garbage. Randy would kill him

ahah cant wait!

dirty 7-30 Says, in 1-24-2008 at 03:40:55 from 99.227.13.44

OK all this Bullshit will be hushed when big Nog KTFO Tim “the useless fuck” Sylva with ease.

When people see how Big Nog operates, and dissects a useless fuck like Sylva, then they’ll stop hyping Randy, and realize that Fedor had to BEAT… not just out punch him or out tackle him, or out some bullshit like in the UFC to win by decisions… but actually beat him to win the belt, and defend it in pride.

dirty 7-30 Says, in 1-24-2008 at 03:45:37 from 99.227.13.44

Look at the bullshit the UFC is resorting to to make money… pimping a WWE star who hasn’t wrestled since college… and he is training in the Militich camp..which means he won’t get far.

The UFC has forgotten that the sport is the business, not the other way around.

If they hadn’t treated Fedor like a starving fighter, Fedor would have signed with them.. but no.. Dana had to treat the best fighter out there with so much disrespect.. much like he treats all his non American fighters… SLAVE DRIVER!

dirty 7-30 Says, in 1-24-2008 at 03:48:33 from 99.227.13.44

One more thing…. Why did RC decline a fight with Nogueira? If he had fought Nogueira, and beaten him… then I would believe he has a shot at beating Fedor, but I guess he doesn’t want to loose to Nog because it would dwindle his credibility as a challenger to Fedor

tommi Says, in 1-24-2008 at 07:14:31 from 86.77.231.208

fedor is the man, if you want to see how good he is just watch the fight against lindland, randy is just a bigger version of lindland. in a standing match they are even but if the fight goes to the ground I dont think randy has the skills to submit the guy….

lovemma Says, in 1-24-2008 at 07:47:11 from 86.77.231.208

about the big korean figther his name is hong man choi and he is a good K1 fighter that actually has wins over guys like semmy schildt and I dont think that couture will do better against choi
about PRIDE figthers , rules being different i think its really hard to adapt, just take wanderlei vs iceman , wanderlei put him down twice but that fool just let him stand if it was with pride rule , stomping soccer kick to the face and ko
and for the steroid stuff i dont know if its truth but i did notice that Shogun was not the same man he was in Pride it s like the guy lost like 20 kg of muscle it was like the guy cut to go to middleweight.

brian kenny Says, in 1-24-2008 at 07:50:54 from 12.210.183.226

how can you say fedor is on steroids..look at him, and then look at sean sherk, or some of the wwe guys..come on now
these are THE TWO BEST HEAVYWEIGHTS EVER let’s not try to ruin them by saying one sucks, or one’s on drugs…stylistically it will be one of the best matchups ever…maybe fedor striking a bit till randy clinches and dirty boxes till fedor lets him take him down…right into an armbar..lol

Pope Says, in 1-24-2008 at 08:54:26 from 99.238.245.46

Randy Couture the peoples champ??????
I don’t think so……
Lets face facts people what has randy really done to prove he is even in fedor’s leauge????
Let me see ….
He won the title via 5 round hugging sesion with tim all that showed us is he loves being close to giants, just can’t seem to finish them….
And what did Fedor do to the giant on new years???? thats right he finished him in the first round…
Randy then shocked the world by beating some newbee to the ufc…. sure he did beat cro crop but so did fedor…
And what has randy done since then???? ohhh yaaa nothing!!!
goes around complaining like a little girl… instead of continueing to defend his new found belt and really proving he is in fedor’s leauge….
And yet fedor continues to fight and show the world how to be the real champ u have to fight anyone that comes your way…
UFC will not allow randy to fight fedor while he still has fights on his contract….
So why if randy wanted to fight fedor so bad wouldn’t he man up to his contract and finish what he started when he ,decided to enter the cage again….
Don’t kid yourself people randy might say he wants fedor, but aslong as the contract won’t allow that he is just blowin hot air into all the ears of the fools who listen.
And to rap things up all i Have to say is to be a champ u have to keep fighting, and aslong as randy hides behind the microphone letting his mouth do the the fighting for him…
he ain’t noobody but the “PEOPLES CHUMP”

St Pierre Says, in 1-24-2008 at 13:49:13 from 69.45.177.204

Vote for Fedor for president of the heavy weight division

Bloodlinez Says, in 1-24-2008 at 18:20:07 from 207.216.166.183

I wouldnt say Randy is number 2 Nog is better IMO

Randy is prob #3

You give Randy credit for betting Tim who yes and tall and strong but no credit for Fedor beating a guy who out weighted him by like 100 pound and had a huge height and reach difference

At leas Randy fought a guy at the same weight and roughly the same height

Randy has lost a few fights where Fedor has lost 1 due to an illegal elbow none the less

I like how you bitch about Pride fighters being on roids when the last few cases have been Sean Shrek and Bonnar where both tested positive for roids

Randy refused to fight Nog cause he wanted to fight Fedor I can give him respect for that but if he were to fight Nog and win I would say his chances of beating Fedor are somewhere around 10 percent as in fluke

Come on Couture is good but he is hyped too much I mean Captain America got his ass handed to him by Chuck twice

Face the fatcs most of Randy’s losses come from submission where a lot of Fedors wins are from submission aka Randy would get worked and submit to the much better fighter that Fedor is

jack Says, in 1-24-2008 at 20:07:35 from 99.249.219.253

I respect Randy but when you think about his skills and Fedors skills its hard to picture Randy winning the fight. Randy usualy wins his fights by just outwrestling and outlasting his opponents but he never really lands any devistating strikes and hes never faced the likes of Fedor. If Randy can take Fedor to the ground I see no chance of him being able to submit Fedor, he will probably be able to land a few strikes when hes on top but fedor has the best armbar from guard out of all the heavyweights. The only way I see randy winning is from strikes and lets face it fedor has been in there with better strikers then randy.

I like them both a lot, I look up to both of them and for sure this would be one hell of a fight, most anticipated mma match of all time

YmBSnakeEye Says, in 1-24-2008 at 21:48:14 from 24.250.97.181

I have to say… looking at those two side by side… Fedor is way stronger naturally. Look at the width of Fedor compared to Randy. For some reason I think Randy is going to be in for a rude suprise on Fedor’s strength.

ace Says, in 1-25-2008 at 02:38:51 from 58.152.156.233

it’s a joke comparing randy to fedor. randy is so passed his prime. he was good when he beat liddel the first time. anyone that has a chance against fedor now is probably mark hunt if he improves his ground game. randy has not fought any top hw like crocop, big nog, or mark hunt. randy is all hyped up the the amercians who is desperate for an american hw champ, so sad that they have to resort to 44 yr old because there is no one else.

achejaysee Says, in 1-25-2008 at 04:43:41 from 68.99.2.157

What the fuck are you all talking about? Who said they’re going to fight? Nobody. This was to promote Affliction clothing line you morons. Good day

brian kenny Says, in 1-25-2008 at 08:13:51 from 12.210.183.226

hey guys don’t forget about randy getting dominated by the baby face assasin PRIDE FIGHTER JOSH BARNETT…..

Don' Kee Says, in 1-25-2008 at 09:20:39 from 99.239.109.73

I cant consider Fedor to be #1 HW fighter in the world because he does not fight in the #1 MMa promotion in the world(the UFC)….

I am a Randy fan, but I do think he should finish his 2 fights left on his contract… I would love to see Captin America .vs. The Russian experiment, and hopefully we will get to see it one day..

Dont let Pope

ace Says, in 1-25-2008 at 12:57:29 from 58.152.156.233

donkey is not where you fight is who you have fought and won, fedor has beaten the best, randy has not.

Quinn Says, in 1-25-2008 at 17:01:36 from 209.12.205.66

This is not a fight promo its a clothing promo. And Pride dominated UFC thats why they bought it. Quinton Jackson (Champ) was worked a number of times in Pride. Anderson Silva (Champ and my boy) is another Pride guy. Fedor would take this fight if they were to fight, I am a big Randy fan though!

Bloodlinez Says, in 1-25-2008 at 19:06:58 from 207.216.166.183

Thats the reason why Randy had a falling out with UFC because they couldnt set up a match between him and Fedor

Yes its a clothing promo but this match will happen either once Randy’s contract is done or if UFC can get a deal worked out with Fedor

count'Snachula Says, in 1-26-2008 at 08:26:08 from 99.239.109.73

that pope chick has no idea what she is talking about….
Randy couture is the best HW in the world…

Randy is a 5 time champ!! Fedor is just scared to fight not only, Randy, but he is afraid of the whole UFC HW elite…

kevlos Says, in 1-26-2008 at 09:37:31 from 70.64.155.128

It seems that the UFC treats their fighters unfairly if the fighters try to stand up for themselves in the organization. Especially the superstars like Ortiz or Couture. It’s as if the UFC says “our way or the highway.” Especially since they sacrificed so much for the sport. They should be given more freedom to do what they want, contractarily speaking. Guys like this make the company so much money that they deserve more professional freedom. I hope that one day stars like couture will be given more respect from management. After all, the fighters make the money. People pay to see them, not the cueball heads like dana white.

calizmo Says, in 1-26-2008 at 09:38:57 from 24.222.167.31

Hey, I’m a big Randy fan. I love both fighters, if they do fight, it will be very close. Randy is a bit old, so I guess thats his only disadvantage. While Fedor is probably the most well rounded HW in the world. Someone is going to get knocked out no later than 2nd round.

It also seems like Fedor is being fed with easy wins. He really dindt fight that many great fighters. That huge Korean dude he fought was a joke, he should have worked his way up to fight fedor.

chris jr Says, in 1-26-2008 at 18:50:16 from 12.214.213.26

all you americans better support your own, randy couture. WHEN ever they fight,WERE ever they fight i have to say that i still have randys back no matter what!so what if he’s past his prime, so what if he’s 44 years old,EVERYone thought he was going to lose against vitor beltfort,tito,liddel,and syvia. THERES ONE THING YOU DON’T DO IN THE WORLD OF MMA,NEVER COUNT OUT THE UNDER DOG.!

Nick Says, in 1-28-2008 at 05:32:22 from 76.182.212.48

If this fight happens .Watch Randy pre fight videos he will be mad like Tyson was 1 day when he sigh his x….

fedor#1 Says, in 2-5-2008 at 00:06:00 from 75.38.29.72

All i have to say is that Fedor Emilianenko is not scared one bit of the fighters in the UFC. In an interview he straight up said that he wants a challengs and that the UFC is all Americans, he wants all the best fighters from the world not the so-called best “Randy Couture” my nuts he has no chance whatsoever with Fedor. And if you were to put Hong Man Choi vs. Tim Syvlia I would put a shit load of money that hong man choi will whip his ass.

At the end of the day no other fighter will match up to Fedor Emilianenko.

Ivan Says, in 4-14-2008 at 14:38:36 from 213.240.218.146

It is clear that most of you are Americans because you idolize Randy.You are right that Randy is one of the best fighters in the world but Fedor is at another level.However,this fight will be extremely interesting and I hope at the end of 2008 or at the beginning of 2009 to watch it.
I am Fedor’s fan but I do not want to predict the outcome of the fight because when two titans meet on the ring everything is possible.
I hope someday to see this fight.

Rich E Says, in 4-25-2008 at 16:16:32 from 70.50.36.223

In my opinion Randy Couture is a great skilled fighter on the ground and in standup. But Fedor is better period. FEDOR will win in the first round by a right hook.

libertarian4321 Says, in 7-20-2008 at 12:48:02 from 24.243.24.168

Those of you claiming Randy Couture has more “experience” or “skill” than Fedor have obviously never seen Fedor fight. He’s got way more fights than Randy. His skill level is just sick- he can submit an opponent at any time, from top or bottom. He demolished the current UFC champion (Noguera) twice- I’ve never seen a beating like Fedor gave Noguera.

It took Fedor 36 seconds to destroy a healthy Tim Sylvia. Couture hung on to win a close decision in 5-rounds against an INJURED Tim Sylvia. When Couture had Sylvia hurt, he couldn’t finish him- Fedor destroyed him in seconds.

Not only will Fedor beat Couture, it won’t even be all that close…

libertarian4321 Says, in 7-20-2008 at 12:54:56 from 24.243.24.168

I don’t see how some of you can say “Fedor isn’t the best because he isn’t the UFC champ” when Fedor beat the living heck out of the current UFC champ twice, lol.

BTW, Fedor has also demolished 4 other former UFC champs as well.

So the score is Fedor 7 (beat Noguera and Coleman twice each), UFC champs ZERO in head to head competition.

The only heavyweight in the world who can hand with Fedor is Noguera. Noguera can’t beat Fedor, but his head is so hard, he can at least stay in the fight…

alaskanlard Says, in 12-31-2008 at 17:02:48 from 64.1.198.66

I cannot believe the bs that the Zuffa group has managed to soak up amongst its fans. They BOUGHT pride shut it down and mysteriously all the pride fighters are eliminated quickly and quietly so as not to disturb the ufc “formula.” Fedor said it best in an interview. He said that after reading the ufc contract one would have to be crazy to sign it. Randy is just itching for the fight with Fedor and he is a real threat that will put an end to the debate about whether Fedor has faced real competition. Fedor is a more complete fighter and his demeanor is that of one who is at peace with himself. Even after Marc Coleman brought his children into the ring, after a fight where Fedor battered him, Fedor remained poised and gracious. Fedor IS a warrior, he does not need to run his mouth and stare people down or give the same chimpish grin to his opponents that couture gave liddell before he got knocked the f out. I truly admire Fedor and it is a pleasure to watch him solve the problem in front of him as he faces each opponent. My favorite fighter before him was igor volchanchyn but he was a fierce striker and Fedor is complete. I did see that big Japanese guy rock him though.
