Don't you all love how UFC is biting off boxing in the lead up to this BJ Penn fight. Frankly, it's pissing me off. First they try to copy 24/7 with thier weekly hype show which IMO is a failure. Now they are comparing GSP-Penn to one of the greatest match-ups in Boxing history, WTF. Dana White is a fukkin asshole.
GSP-Penn is ‘Hagler-Hearns’
UFC 94 is LIVE on PPV Jan. 31!
By Chris Cozzone
It’s not often when a great champion in one division leaps up to battle a great champion in a heavier division. Last month in boxing, Manny Pacquiao made the jump to soundly defeat Oscar De Hoya—this month, the focus is on B.J. Penn, UFC lightweight champion who will jump from 155 to 170 to take on Georges St. Pierre, UFC welterweight champ . . . Click here for more

I laughed at the Hagler vs Hearns line, but you'd be a fool to believe that it would be that type of fight.
But hey...I saw countless promos for GSP vs Penn II, how many did we see for Mosley vs Margarito? Cotto vs Margarito? Shit I saw just about about the same amount of promos for UFC 94 as I saw for Oscar vs Pacquiao...and that wasn't even the biggest UFC card of the year.
Go figure :dunno:
You're typical dumbass Yank
You probably never heard of him until last year because he fought most of his career in PRIDE in Japan. Fedor has been the dominant undisputed heavyweight King and #1 p4p fighter in MMA for a very, very long time.
You need to bow down and show some respect!
Settle down before you have a heart attack.
I'm a sports fan and I had never heard of him until last year. When you talk about names like Ali, etc. your talking about those who are not only great but transcended the sport. We're talking about national icons and heroes. I could say Pele, Gretzky, Woods, Ali, Kobayashi but how ****ing ridiculous does that sound?
If you actually followed MMA you would know that Fedor is the greatest of all time. He deserves to be mentioned along with the other great names.
Not even close. In 50 years Ali, Jordan, Tiger, Pele, and Gretzky will still be recognized as some of the best of all time. In 50 years mma fans will look at Fedor and think, wow this sport has advanced so much he would get torn apart today.

Royce Gracie>Fedor
Mt102879 hates white people, he will never give credit to any white boxer.
Fedor is a boxer? And yes, I hate white people which is the reason I had no problem with Wayne Gretzky being mentioned along the other names.
The announcer was speaking the truth you moron
Fedor is the greatest MMA fighter of all time!!
ummmm, no he isnt. fedor has not beaten the competition that gsp has.

No one knows who the **** Fedor is outside of the combat sports world. The other guys are household names.
See through the marketing bollocks, christ. Listen to Bill Hicks! Why get so annoyed about a match up that has nothing to do with boxing?
Phil Neville vs Gary Neville today was like Wlad Klitschko vs Vitali Klitschko, the battle of the elite right backs in the premiership. Man United vs Everton, brother vs brother - I could say literally anything I wanted to hype this, if you're interested you're interested.
In reality they are both shit.
The funniest shit I've heard is after the Fedor-Arlovski fight the announcer said something to the extent of: When you talk greats - Pele, Gretzky, Woods, Ali, Fedor. LOL
They're smart. UFC uses established ideas and use it to their benefit. Boxing should take lessons and bite some of the tactics of UFC.
yep
This will probably be the third UFC PPV in a period of 3 months that tops 1 million PPV buys
Not too shabby
So who's actually gonna watch this shit tomorrow night. Has anyone seen the bullshit UFC Primetime hype shows, fukkin Dana is a biter man. Stealing that shit from the Oscar - Floyd 24/7.
Dana is an ass but he's good and gettin ppl talkin...he's like vince in the wwe...except he's actin while dana is all real when he's actin like an ass...hagler hearns had so much fireworks for less thn 9 minutes of boxing...gsp penn wont be nowhere near as epic as that fight but it will be very entertaining no doubt...i think the more explosive fight in terms of action on the card will be machida vs silva...but nevertheless dana talks alot of shit...and here is no exception
