I actually like it. He's stepping up in competition. If he looks good here, hopefully he takes another step up.
Zombienado is going to be a punching bag for Fedor but as far as punching bags go they could do worse. They are slowly working their way up to UFC-level competition.
Fedor said at the presser that he's in talks with the UFC for a fight with Werdum. Sounds implausible. Repeatedly his team has used the UFC as a negotiating tool and nothing more.
new UFC 200 headliner? not even sure that moves the needle for the public fan... UFC would have to show all of Fedor's PrideFC fights to garner interest.
Maldo-- who was only tested one time by the USADA during his UFC run-- says he was on DHEA when he was fighting in the UFC. Good news, though. He's starting a legit steroid cycle in preparation for this fight. I wish this quote was fake. http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2016/4/2...t=chorus&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter "It's me against him. Everybody understands these things, right? I'm not trying to make myself look like a victim here. Everybody understands and knows what I will take and what I won't take. What I can say is that I don't take those things, but for example, when I was in my final UFC stretch and they had random tests, I was using DHEA, because the doctor told me it's good for men past 32, it's good for your skin and your hormones. It wasn't even a PED. I'm not taking any yet, but I believe I'll start next week."
