Default Bob Sapp Wants Fedor Emelianenko

The following is provided courtesy of Alex Marvez of FOXSports.com:
Sapp said his desire to fight Emelianenko was whetted after watching him struggle early during last month's submission victory over the much-bigger Hong-Man Choi in Japan. At 6-0 and 235 pounds, Emelianenko also would have a considerable size disadvantage against the monstrous Sapp (6-6, 360 pounds).

"When I see what Emelianenko did against Choi, it shows how good he is but it also showed his weakness against larger opponents," Sapp said. "I'd love to fight Fedor."

Sapp said he is set to sign a new contract with K-1 and that the Japan-based kickboxing promotion has plans to work with M-1. Such an arrangement could ultimately lead to a Sapp vs. Emelianenko dream bout either in Japan or the U.S.

I think this is a very very very very very bad matchup for Fedor,,,,JMO...i a feeling that this could be a bad day for fedor....Not sure why...I know choi beat Sapp, but i would be willing to bet that 8 times out of 10 Sapp wins against choi. I think he brings a much more difficult fight to Fedor then Choi did. To strong.

Do not mistake me thinking Sapp could win this because he is a better fighter...Thats a joke. just overwhelming

Sapp cries if you blow on him.

Fedor takes it easily YET HE SHOULDN'T TAKE THIS FIGHT EVER!

Sapp's weakness is his sub defense and that is exactly where Fedor would capitalize.

No contest... Sapp can't go against a good striker... didn't Kimo knock him out. And his cardio is awful.

Don't forget that he killed Zulu too... how many freakshows does this guy have to go through before they realize that it takes technique?

your ridiculous....no offense. Choi was difficult becuase of his height. Your inferring that Sapp would beat Fedor becuase of overwhelming strenght??!! note this: sapp isnt as tall as Choi, therefore fedor can utilize his standup and smash Sapps face in. And dont forget Fedor has amazing standup speed and knockout power....Sapp wouldnt be able to keep it standing. If Sapp used his mediocre takedowns Fedor wouldnt be foolish to grapple especially when he has a standup up option against Sapp. Fedor can reach his face with ease therefore fedor can use his method of striking then TKO him. Once sapp is ko'd or if hes still awake Fedor would quickly take him down and finish him.
Sort of like Fujita against sapp. Sapp was dumb enough to think Fedor will have the same gameplan as he did Choi....dont forget Choi has a superior height and decent standup...thats a bad combo for someone as short as Fedor lol. plus Choi's weight and mass also added intense conflict to fedor strategy during the match. But Sapp against fedor is a good opportunity for fedor to unleash his massive striking, without having this height issue. Sure sapp has more mass, but this isnt going to affect Fedors striking. Think of this as Zulu vs Fedor.. Fedor was able to ko this beast down then finish him off with GNP becuase of the similar height differential. Maybe you should think twice for making such a Bias comment. no offense..again. I"d like to watch this match happen, so you could see how fedor brings the beats down with his hands and a good takedown opportunity.
So lets review what we have learned children
: fedor struggled intensifly with Choi becuase of his height, neutralizing fedor's standup and having no choice but to attempt a takedown to the huge korean. this failed becuase Choi wasnt hit efficiently enough to give fedor a couple of seconds to converse to sambo mode.

: Sapp is not as tall as choi, his head can easily be reached by fedors striking ....thats a fact. sapp is huge and slow, fedor is technical and quick...thats a fact. Sapp will get flurried on by Fedor then fedor will succesfully ignite his Sambo takedown. Rushing Sapp to his back.. then you know what happens next folks...thats right... massive kicks or GnP!!! kind of like Fujita vs Sapp. But Fedor has quick hands to allow a 90 percent chance of a ko victory against sapp. sorry to burst your bubble...Oh and by the way Jeff Monson wouldnt last once round against Fedor... sorry once again to ruin your opinion. this is Kickbox and im outy!!..maybe i shall wait and hear from this bias poster to see what he can say.....no offense again lol.

plus theres no way a slow massive Sapp can takedown Fedor imo.

Please dude, double-posting is bad enough... if you want to add something use the edit-button.

Other than that I agree with you.
