It's like she's doing the Cung Le thing where he does movies and takes a fight when he runs out of work in the movie biz. It's gonna blow up in Coker's face, I can just smell it.
There's been leaked pics of her back doing training with Randy.
As for Fedor, I hope he doesn't have any 2nd thoughts and just retires and stays retired for good. It puts an end to the drama so the rest of the MMA world can sort out their shit and get on with their lives. As long as Fedor and M-1 are in the picture it screws up everything behind the scenes, get'em out of there and get on with the promoting and putting on fights.
I think Tomas Rios put it best when he said that M-1 held Strikeforce's business hostage three times in exchange for having Fedor go 1-2.
I can't help but think that long term, Fedor's legacy will be tainted by all this. Sure, we'll remember the greatness of his actual fights in Pride, but since then his career has been a shambles. I wonder if they'll ever regret not signing with the UFC.
Edit: What the hell? Thiago Silva out for undisclosed reasons and Matt Hammill is now fighting Rampage? I'm sorry, but Hammill's going to get murdered, Rampage is going to punch his lights out.
I think Silva is out for the reason that they want Rampage to have a tune-up fight, not a "get kicked to death fight" as they're trying to set up Rashad-Rampage again.
