Misha Cirkunov - The next Fedor

[Venom]

Lean LHW (What Fedor could be anyway)

Good submission game, good striking

Sub to KO ratio is nearly identical to Fedor

Of Russian descent

 

[ArtemV]

Was a good fight before the tap, was 50/50. Nice grappling exchanges and a sweep by Cirkunov

 

[phunky]

dear lord....

 

[BlackPanther]

Manuwa via KO

 

[Glove]

There is no "next" Fedor...just as there is no "next" anybody. There is only that person.

 

[asdf122345]

[Jonesingforafight]

Gotta do a lot of this.

 

[Spekty]

[edirp]

Manuwa via KO

Nope. He will KO/sub UK's Houston Alexander.

 

[ironball]

UFC actually has USADA testing

 

[surgeyou1]

Nah. He's already above Fedor by simply accepting a fight in the UFC.

 

[seiger]

Gotta do a lot of this.
