I was just talking to DarkCatalyst on AIM and he confirmed it...

I had NO idea!

I remember him mentioning their similarities, but I don't remember him saying they actually DID base Abel on him...(?)

Damn, Yoda. You must have an awesome memory to remember that. I can't even remember what I ate three days ago let alone what someone else wrote in a forum a month ago.

To be honest, I did not know Abel was based on Fedor as a fact, but you can clearly see the Combat Sambo gear he is wearing. In Combat Sambo you wear gloves and shin-guards, plus your regular Sambo Gi and short pants.

Fedor is a legend in Sambo, having suffered his first ever loss a few weeks ago. Plus he is very popular in Japan because of his days in Pride. So basically you have a guy with Combat Sambo gear, you can't help but to think of Fedor.

That being said he only looks like Fedor, from what I have seen his fighting style is not similar at all! Plus Fedor is chubby!

P.S. I never ever freak out, hamster. That's Vader's job!

Your search: "penis" has returned 12,379 results.

So Abel is based off of a Sambo fighter, but is the term Sambo based off of a racial slur?

You may or may not know this, but I've read numerous times that Zangief is Gay, so you are probably right!

I would love to rip the chest hair off Zangief. It HAS to be fake.
