(Fear is not in Fedor’s programming)
The most interesting story that came out of the Strikeforce conference call today was Alistair Overeem‘s proclamation that Fedor Emelianenko is scared to fight him.
"I’ve been challenging Fedor for some time now. His management has declined to fight me on numerous occasions," Overeem told reporters on the call. "If you have two parties and one of them is willing to fight and the other isn’t than what are you going to do?"
After realizing that his insinuation may be a bit off base, considering the fact that Cyborgs like Fedor are not programmed to display fear, but can recognize it in their opponents, the Dutch-born Strikeforce heavyweight champion backtracked slightly, saying he feels that it’s Emelianenko’s M-1 management team that is the problem.
"I know Fedor’s a fighter and he doesn’t care who he fights, so I know it’s his management. It takes two to tango," he said. "They see me as a threat. One of M-1 Global’s managers knows how I train and has had an eye on me throughout my career. Any potential threat, they’re going to stay away from that."
For their part, The Last Emperor’s camp has maintained that they would have no issue with their charge facing Overeem as long as he passes pre-fight drug screening, a feat that Overeem somewhat creepily explained today will not be a problem for his fight with Brett Rogers this month, nor would it be if and when he faces Fedor.
"People can say what they want. People can say what they think," said Overeem, referring to the growing opinion that he has used performance enhancing drugs. "I’m going to have to pee, Brett’s going to have to pee, we all have to pee. There’s going to be a positive or a negative, and I know it will be negative."
Don’t worry, Potato Nation. He didn’t really mean, EVERYBODY has to pee. Just everybody who is fighting on the card.

commentsWhich is smart. Nowadays nobody gets paid much for beating up bums since Bumfights.com got shut down.
You just can't hate the guy.
I've had Enough.
I honestly believe Fedor could be dodging this fight, and I'm sick of everyone still talking about this guy like he's some kind of god. WHO THE FUCK HAS THIS GUY FOUGHT RECENTLY!??????
Yes, he's one of the most talented fighters of our generation, but if you want to be the best, show the fucking world that you will fight ANY person at ANY time.
Dana has tried NUMEROUS times to sign this guy, and hate me if you want, but he would have his fucking hands full with UFC's tops 3 heavyweights. Instead he wants to fight fucking no names, once or twice a year.
Fuck Fedor. FUCK FEDOR.
Fedor should win easily against Werdum, but Rogers got bombs. I feel Overoid is going for a tough ride.
The trick with steroid is that you take it while in japan, stay a long period of time their training your ass off and eating horse. Then while waiting to be clean again you beat up several hams. Make a test of your own, if it's clean you come make cash in US.
Cheers man
They're all just jokes man and apparently, pretty bad ones.
How else would you explain it? I ask Fedor's management to have him come read me a nite-nte story and he declines daily. The only explanation is that he can't read. It makes as much sense as what Overreemed is saying
Overeem then walked into the testing room. Loud popping noises were heard, followed by a high pitched scream that could have only come from a little girl.
Inside, the room was completely empty. There was nobody in there but Overeem holding his cup of fresh hot urine.
The sample tested positive.
+1 to pretty much everyone.
"I guess what I'm trying to say, is that if I can change, and you can change, everybody can change! "
