I am not sure what you meant by your statement. Are you saying that Zulu should not have been fighting Fedor or that Zulu is a real fighter and not a freakshow?
Zulu is a pretty famous kickboxer, if what I have read on the site is correct.
Ok...here is my anal retentive grammar police lesson:
e.g. = for example
i.e. = in other words

Freakshows are damn fun to watch if they're matched up similarly. For example, I got a kick out of watching Giant Silva kimura Akebono.
And Semmy IS a freak show, but he's one of the few exceptions...the guy has actual talent, and a sick amount of it. He's just ridiculously tall.
Yeah, and I'd spend a week's paycheck to see Sapp v. Butterbean.

Anyway Sapp vs Zulu for BIG Black and in CHARGE award.

Freak shows do not have to be cans but they must fit the freak show criteria and a 7'0" 300lb fighter in MMA certainly fits the freak show criteria regardless of him winning the 05 and 06 K-1 GP as they do not have to be cans to be freakshows, same thing with the other 7'2" 360lb K-1 kickboxer Hong-Man Choi, those guys are certainly freakshows. Gan McGee is a freakshow and Sylvia is borderline.

Bob Sapp is a pretty entertaining inside the ring, win or lose he puts on a good show. Who doesn't love seeing freak shows get beat up?

Tank Abbott.......more of a sideshow with freakish power. I do love watching and listening to him, though. Dude became a legend based on simple toughness and grit. That's it. NO TALENT.

i dont hate freakshows unless they involve really competitive fighters that should not be wasting time
Zulu vs Fedor? c'mon, i dont need to see that.
i could watch Minowa beat up big fat slobs all day, and laugh the whole time. but if you made Hendo do it? i wouldnt waste my money
and for the record, i would probably pay to see Buentello knock Kimbo's brains out through the back of his head

Yes I would shell out a little somethin for that as well, the looks plastered upon the faces of his entourage after he got ktfo would be priceless.
