Intheguard.tv got into the academy X-gym, and followed up the training of Rafael 'Feij�o' Cavalcante, for the fight against Aaron Rosa, in StrikeForce, on November 20. Under the orientation of his physical trainer, Rog�rio Cam�es (Roger�o), the fighter made it worth it for Intheguard to go to Recreio dos Bandeirantes and watch his training.

Rafael and Rogerio showed us the work out with weights, rubber bands, fit balls and more. Everything is being done to win the fight, after all, someone has to pay for the hard training that you are going to see here in Intheguard.

Why doesn't Strikeforce sign Arona?

fyodor86 — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:23:02 GMT

he's a credible LHW that Mousasi could destroy

Anybody else think Fedor secretly understands english?

I mean he must understand something:icon_chee He has heard english so much during his career.

DREAM Vs. SENGOKU/SRC On NYE! FEG President wants btw 5 and 7 fights

Ninja-Note — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:12:09 GMT

Quote:

There are some bits of FEG President Tanigawa’s Kamipro interview up on the internet.

He says that they can do various things, but he himself wants a DREAM vs. SRC showdown, somewhere from 5 vs. 5 to 7 vs. 7. Besides Masato/Souwer, Ishii/Yoshida, K-1 Koshien, and superfights he wants all fights to be DREAM vs. SRC.

Tanigawa was also asked about the previous rumor of a dual broadcast (two events at different locations aired on the same program) of the events on TBS. He said that sponsors and stuff like that was too big of a hurdle. The same sponsors couldn’t be on the ring of the Dynamite!! and SRC 12 events, which would be a problem.

When asked if SENGOKU will continue on after NYE, Tanigawa said “of course it will”. They’ll probably discuss it after NYE, but he wants to hold showdown cards between the two organizations at fixed intervals from now on.

Tanigawa said that there won’t be a DREAM+SRC merger organization after this. He rather want both of them to grow more powerful and at times join to hold events as stated above.

Sakuraba vs. Misaki and Tamura vs. Kikuta are rumored.

Other ones that have come up in some form are Kawajiri vs. Gomi 2, Mach Sakurai vs. Gono, Aoki vs. Hirota, and Hirota vs. Alvarez (Hirota said himself that he wants this if FEG and WVR hold a combined NYE event, no rumor from any official staff).

Me myself wouldn't mind Yokota vs. Kikuno, Omigawa vs. Takaya, Tokoro vs. Korean Zombie (though I doubt Tokoro will face such a small name on such a big event).

New Bleacherreport P4P Rankings

The Top 10 Pound-For-Pound MMA Fighter Rankings | Bleacher Report

The Top 10 Pound-For-Pound MMA Fighter Rankings by Andrew Mahlmann Andrew MahlmannContributor
Who's the best MMA fighter in the world?

Number 10: BROCK LESNAR

Brock is still pretty new to the sport and has a lot to learn and prove, but he has certainly stepped up to the plate in his last 3 bouts. An intimidating physical specimen, Brock is a champion goliath overlooking the Heavyweight division. With a plethora of upcoming Heavyweight talent, the UFC really has a Heavyweight belt worth fighting over. It will be interesting to see how the champion responds to upcoming challenges.

Number 9: VITOR BELFORT

There is no question that when Vitor Belfort fights to his potential, he is one of the most devastating fighters around. Questions do arise, however, about his heart, gas tank, and consistency. The Vitor we have seen in recent fights has showed a re-surging and dominant athlete. While there have been critics to argue whether or not Vitor "earned" his upcoming Middleweight title shot in the UFC, no one in their right mind can denounce the fact that he is a legitimate threat.

Number 8: GEGARD MOUSASI

Although still very young, Mousasi has rapidly become one of the most elite fighters in the world. Training with Fedor Emelianenko, Gegard has adopted a stone cold demeanor and methodical approach to his fights. Deservedly a champion, Mousasi is a very dangerous opponent anywhere the fight goes. Expect Gegard's name to stay around this list, but his biggest problem will be continuing to find top competition within the StrikeForce promotion.

Number 7: MAURICIO RUA

After a rough start in the UFC, Mauricio Rua regained his once prolific status in his extremely controversial decision loss to champion Lyoto Machida. Rua appeared to do everything right to beat his opponent, but the judges decided to gift the tough fought battle to the champion. Machida still has a better recent track record, but Rua has a chance to topple the champion in their upcoming rematch, and potentially claim a top 5 pound-for-pound spot in the process.

Number 6: LYOTO MACHIDA

Mauricio Rua was the first fighter to make the karate master look vulnerable in his UFC career. By being handed the controversial win, Lyoto will no doubt be looking to win the rematch decisively and extend his rule over the division. With no shortage of capable challengers, Lyoto has to work as hard as ever if he wants to remain recognized as one of the best fighters on the planet.

Number 5: JOSE ALDO

Everyone knew that Jose Aldo was a serious threat going into his recent Featherweight title fight, but not many could have predicted that he would look as good as he did against the very highly respected Mike Thomas Brown. Jose showed patience in methodically dismantling the champion, leaving not much interest for a rematch in the near future. Aldo will be looking to continue improving and continuing to keep our highlight reels full.

Number 4: BJ PENN

Penn looked surprisingly vulnerable in his Welterweight loss to Georges St. Pierre two fights ago, but he remains the top fighter in the Lightweight division without argument. A proud champion, BJ enjoys beating his opponents in all aspects of the game. Expect Penn to bring his "A" game in taking on a powerful and talented Lightweight, much like himself, in his upcoming title defence against Diego Sanchez.

Number 3: GEORGES ST. PIERRE

The dominant Welterweight has plenty of talented challengers waiting to claim the crown, but it is difficult to imagine that happening any time soon. Although ranked just below Anderson for the time being, the younger St. Pierre could very well challenge many of the UFC career records in time. Look for a showcase of St. Pierre's skill in his upcoming title defense against British slugger, Dan Hardy.

Number 2: ANDERSON SILVA

Arguably the most dominant fighter the UFC has seen yet, Anderson Silva has no shortage of first-rate challenges before he hangs up the gloves. The next of these challenges should be interesting as he is matched against a nearly equally proficient striker in Vitor Belfort. Anderson's technical and tactical mastery could very well carry him to another win, and if so, on to more records and super-fights in his legendary UFC run.

Number 1: FEDOR EMELIANENKO

A somewhat contentious ranking for a fighter outside of the world's largest fight promotion, Fedor has earned this position due to his outstanding record and his recent string of stateside performances that have been spectacular and inspiring. An almost invincible fighting machine, Fedor will continue to face worthy Heavyweight competition in the near future for StrikeForce. If he successfully cleans out that division, however, Emelianenko may find it difficult to stay relevant outside of the UFC.

Dear Brock: Get well soon! Sincerely, Fedor

DarkShine — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:33:29 GMT

"I would like to wish my fellow fighter Brock Lesnar a good and fast recovery. It is always unfortunate when a fighter has to pull out of a fight because of an injury."

Top ranked (an oft-maligned) heavyweight wrecking ball Fedor Emelianenko extends his well wishes on TeamFedor.com after learning that current UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar was forced to withdraw from his title defense against Shane Carwin due to a bacterial infection. "The Last Emperor" is often paired up with the pasty-face Goliath in a fantasy-matchmaking scenario despite the unlikelihood they'll ever compete against one another. Still, that hasn't stopped the WAMMA champ from hoping Lesnar gets back on the road to recovery and into the MMA spotlight once again.

Dear Brock: Get well soon! Sincerely,*Fedor - MMA Mania

If Overeem wins the K-1 World Grand Prix.....

MysticNinjaJay — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:54:18 GMT

Do you think Strikeforce will use his victory to hype a fight with Fedor?

"Fedor vs. the Strikeforce HW champion and K-1 World Champion"

And how will Sherdoggers react to an Overeem victory? Will he be given a better chance to beat Fedor?

Nikolai valuev in mma?

mike bitonio — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:05:29 GMT

How do you guys think he would do after intense ground training?.With his striking power and a bit of ground training i can really see him being a devestating force.I could easily picture him on a dynamite or dream card.Do you think any mma promotion could afford to pay him? discuss

Jeremy Horn record question.

Rezistor — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:44:04 GMT

Many credible opponents as winners and losers against him.
HOW HE DID THAT?

Wll Rogers Overcome the "Fedor's curse" ?

rusliksam — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:31:58 GMT

Wll Rogers Overcome the Fedor's curse ?

It is not a secret , that many GOOD fighters after they fought Fedor NEVER could get the same level.
So , I wonder if Rogers will find a way to Overcome the Fedor's curse.

He is a good and young fighter.
So , it would be a shame if he will repeat the way of others.
