Sophie Lancaster's Funeral

News footage of Sophie Lancaster’s Funeral on Nov 12th 2007, the goth girl killed in August mixed in with a tribute to her. The song is by the excellent band Dead Can Dance, “The Host of Seraphim” from The Serpent’s Egg album. Sophie was brutally attacked with her boyfriend, Robert Maltby while returning home walking through Stubby Lee Park in Bacup, Rossendale in Lancashire. Sophie and Robert were subjected to a “vicious mob attack” from “a large group of people” around 1.00 am on Saturday 11th August 2007. As a result of her severe head injuries she went into a coma, never regained consciousness and later died. The police suggested the attack was caused by the couple wearing goth style clothing.

This was the highly anticipated Fedor Emelianenko vs Brett Rogers fight held on 7th November 2009, 9pm ET. After a comparison of the two fighting Andrei Arlovsk, Fedor seemed to get off a lucky KO for the victory and Rogers proved to find Arlovsk quite an easy task to dominate. From this grew contraversy on wether or not Fedors crown of the worlds best MMA fighter would be passed down to rogers. I apologise for the quality, I had to miss the fight due to being at work and this is a recording of a live stream from the american TV channel CBS to my home in australia thus buffering lag and audio faults were present. ***This is the real translation of fedors ending comments*** Fedor: “Well, Brett is undoubtedly a great fighter. But I noticed some things about his footwork and decided to capitalize on it. Fedor: “If Brett wants to, of course, why not? Also, big thanks to Brett for that fight.” Fedor: “I would like to thank everyone for their support, for cheering for me. Now at this time in Russia in my favorite native country millions of Orthodox Russians cheered for me, this is their victory, not mine.” A little bit of my own input aswell. The reason Fedor hasn’t joined UFC is because of the way Dana White runs it. If you watch a recent video from Tito Ortiz, you’ll see that hes been there for 11 years and speaks of how poorly Dana White looks after his fighters. Fedors smart enough to not get stuck in a contract like that. – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - Disclaimer
