Fedor better not lose...or else he can kiss his career goodbye. His refusal to join UFC without co-promotion only works if he keeps winning and only if he can find opponents.

Do people really care about this?
josesensei
yeah terebiko, you're probably right.. no one cares about it... maybe that's why MMA and K-1 get five to seven hours of airtime on every New Year's Eve.

In the days before the fight they had clips of the opponent running,
But when I tried watching this AM I got "no content". Too many logged on? any ideas? Maybe it'll be posted on Utube today/ next few days

There was a significant number of people watching the live. Anybody who missed it, the fights will be up later today on VOD for 30 days- if you are in Japan.

Why didn`t JT have an article about the fight results? No news at all. Weird...
