I always said that Fedor is a talented fighter simply with the best record not the GOAT. Reason being he hasn't fought enough world class opponents. Even though some were once great or great in a single dicipline and world class heavyweights are no longer Coleman, Nogeira, Cro Crop. The sport has evolved far beyond these fighters. Against world class opponents,,,a fighters mistakes and weaknesses get capitalized on.....like Fedor leaving his arm exposed for too long.

How long do you think his record would remain spotless if he were continuously exposed to the like of Overeem, Lesnar, Carwin, Cain, Dos Sontos? Could he beat some of them.....possibly. But not all of them.

You all will think I'm b.s.'ing if I said that called this to my friends an hour before the fight. I've been feeling it since this fight was announced. I'm glad that now people will, hopefully, shut up about him being the best P4P and whatnot but also sad because I wanted to see Overeem smash him before coming to the UFC.

EDIT: Behold! A pale horse! Is that Pestilence?

I too wanted to see Overeem-Fedor.

You realize that Werdum is a world-class BJJ artist, right? Or that Overeem is a K1-level kickboxer, Lesnar a D-1 champ, etc.?

You really should evaluate your statement before posting it.

Did you notice I was replying to a quote that was obviously sarcasm?(four horseman?)

Did you notice that I post my age like you do?

Since those are both a "no", and by your post not knowing that most of the heavyweights you mentioned are single disciplined fighters I hope you are kidding or maybe just experiencing early-on-set-alzheimers.

fedor didnt drop him the werdum sat back.

**Tomahawk88** · 06-27-2010 04:04 AM

Does anybody think there will be a controversy with the "tap?" I mean it was a single tap and usually it has to be taps in session. One could even make the argument it wasnt even really a tap, that he was merely putting his hand on Werdum's thigh. I can just see the hardcore Fedor fans saying things like that.

My friend was crushed after watching it. It was like a kid finding out Santa Claus isnt real. It was a little scary and funny at the same time. I mean Im a Fedor fan and wanted him to win. It shocked me but my world isnt coming to an end lol. I do know that Strikeforce got a little less interesting last night.

But man I did like seeing Cung Le destroy Scott Smith. Plus Cyborg destroyed that girl it was sad to watch after a while. 7 minutes of pure ass kicking.

**Jessep76** · 06-27-2010 04:57 AM

hmmmm nope he's right. The end is near.

**matthew76** · 06-27-2010 07:02 AM

It was bound to happen at some point. He did not get his ass dropped, though. He simply left himself exposed for a few extra hammer fists. I think Fedor would destroy the guy given a second match.

Watch the fight again. Fedor's head was beat red from the triangle.
Werdum was moving Fedor's arm around and could have broken it had he not tapped.
Wedum's BJJ plan was excellent and Fedor played right into it.

Sorry I did not make my post clear.
I am simply saying to be the GOAT is not simply having the cleanest record. It is fighting all the best when they are at their peak. Simply put it's usually FIGHTING THE FIGHTS THE FANS WANT TO SEE, win or lose regardless of pay structure or contracts.

Fedor's best fights are ahead of him. I would love to see the UFC quickly re sign Werdum and sign Overeem and inevitably Fedor. This would be a stacked HW division. This would bring some of best fights we have ever seen.
