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.
I have to admit I like the freakshows, except when they dabble with REAL fighters. Just keep them as an exhibition and not real contenders i.e. Fedor v Zulu lol. | 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
