Fedor vs Aoki confirmed for a sparring exhibition, whatever that means

http://www.cagepotato.com/its-official-fedor-vs-aoki-sparring-exhibition

It's a crazy rumor no more. Now Fedor Emelianenko vs. Shinya Aoki is a crazy fact, according to press release sent out today by M-1 Global. The two will square off in a "five-minute special sparring exhibition" at the "M-1 Challenge Presented by Affliction" on April 29 in Tokyo. So what will the lightweight and the heavyweight try to do to each other over the course of the most bizarre and pointless five minutes in MMA history? According to the press release:


Complete rules of the Fedor vs. Aoki sparring exhibition are still being negotiated, but it will be presented as a special attraction during a 19-bout event scheduled to feature head-to-head M-1 Challenge matchups between host country Japan vs. England, Team USA West vs. South Korea, and Spain vs. France.
Well, that's appropriately vague. I guess this is what happens when you start to run out of credible opponents (who won't ask for a lot money to fight you) but you still want to get out of the house and break a sweat: you spar with a skinny guy in tights. Sounds reasonable. Oh, wait. No, it's completely insane. But what do we expect at this point?

Aoki by powerbomb :pac:

Have to say, this seems very peculiar to me...

But it is Japan so live and let live I guess!

when i saw the title i nearly wet myself laughing

That aside I cant wait for the M1 challenge to start again really enjoyed it last year, some cracking fights , even had some of the bigger names on the cards including baby fedor and overeem.

Also aside wasn't there supposed to be a TUF style shindig were the winner fought fedor from M1 or was that dropped lol

Is this likely to be a grappling match?

Fu*kin stupid match-up IMO.

All this match-up will do is provide the UFC with more ammo to gun down Fedor's rep!

I am guessing a grappling match or an mma match where Fedor is handcuffed, and Aoki has a 30 second head start

All the head start aoki needs.

As for Bas, he's 1 of da best characters in MMA IMO.
I loved his thoughts on Steven Segal

Fedor won with an achilles lock. The report that I read said that he just threw Aoki around at the start. Then Aoki jokingly took off his gi and tried a flying armbar. Fedor finished it after that

Don't know if there's any footage now, M-1 will be showing it on their site next week
