ive always been a fedor fan ... id like to see him fight werdum !
I want to see him fight anyone in the ufc... He can't prove himself until he fights the best competitionive always been a fedor fan ... id like to see him fight werdum !
true but he never really stopped training . he only lessened the intensity . id like to see him fight big foot i think he win this time .I want to see him fight anyone in the ufc... He can't prove himself until he fights the best competition
How can he be the GOAT when he never fought the top tier competition?Fedor has nothing left to prove. While I am ECSTATIC to see him fight again, he doesn't need to do it beyond love of the sport. He's the GOAT.
When he was at his best, the UFC HW division was absolute garbage and all of the top HWs were in PRIDE. He ran through all of them and beat them at their own game (e.g. Nog on the ground, CC on the feet). Nobody has ever dominated a division like Fedor has and there has never been another HW considered the best P4P fighter.How can he be the GOAT when he never fought the top tier competition?
Don't get me wrong, he's fought some bad dudes and he's good, but he never came to the UFC and that's where the best of the best have been for a long time.
theres a link on pb to all his fights i have them even the 8 foot tall chinese dude hong choy or somethin like that iam at the gym when i get home ill see if i can find the linkWhen he was at his best, the UFC HW division was absolute garbage and all of the top HWs were in PRIDE.

I'm not sure how long you've been following MMA because it's really hard to understand the greatness of Fedor unless you were following the sport at the time.
Hong Man Choi, but that was a classic NYE Japanese attraction fight.theres a link on pb to all his fights i have them even the 8 foot tall chinese dude hong choy or somethin like that iam at the gym when i get home ill see if i can find the link
yes it was but it was greatHong Man Choi, but that was a classic NYE Japanese attraction fight.
I'll admit I was late to following but I've seen many of the earlier fights to catch up. I would've liked to have seen him fight couture or Mir (in their prime)When he was at his best, the UFC HW division was absolute garbage and all of the top HWs were in PRIDE.

He would've destroyed both of them and that's kinda the point. It was always insert UFC guy versus Fedor. They would fall just as quickly as they would rise, but Fedor was always there.I'll admit I was late to following but I've seen many of the earlier fights to catch up.

Crazier things have happened like Werdum becoming HW champ. Fedor's downfall was once he found out he could KO people with one shot. He become a headhunter instead of sticking with his incomparable Sambo. I used to love watching him leap in with his Russian hooks and fish for a trip or throw. It was truly art.It will be fun to see Fedor again, but he will get destroyed by any top level HW at this point. This is the same guy who got beat by Hendo and Big Foot.
He is most certainly the GOAT, but he is relegated now to attraction fights, nothing more imo
Agreed. He was fun to watch. My concern will be his chin at his age and if he still is the "one punch" head hunter. If so, most top 10 guys finish himCrazier things have happened like Werdum becoming HW champ. Fedor's downfall was once he found out he could KO people with one shot.

His chin should be decent as getting KOd by Hendo isn't anything that's shameful. Bigfoot was reigning shots, but never had him visibly rocked. However, he has to get back to his roots of being a grappler.Agreed. He was fun to watch. My concern will be his chin at his age and if he still is the "one punch" head hunter.

sambo is one of the best martial arts the training is diverse.His chin should be decent as getting KOd by Hendo isn't anything that's shameful. Bigfoot was reigning shots, but never had him visibly rocked. However, he has to get back to his roots of being a grappler.
my issue is with the exception of nog, most of that list is former champs... not the current... meaninig there was still better competition even at the time. I love fedor and will watch any of his fights, even the new ones where I assume he wont be anywhere near what he was, but in my mind his legacy will always be slightly tainted for having not been in the ufcSome perspective on Fedor's wins and opponents ranking at the time:
AA #2
Nog #1-2
CC #2
Herring top 5
Sylvia top 5
Hunt top 10
Randleman/Coleman former UFC HW champs
Did you not understand what I was saying? When Fedor fought Nog, CC, and AA, they were all the consensus best or next best HW in the world. He was actually the underdog when he fought CC. Again, look at the UFC HW division when Fedor was in his prime. Gan McGee was getting a freaking title shot for crying out loud. All of the top HWs were in PRIDE. Nog, CC, Barnett, Hunt, Kharitonov, Werdum, Aleks, etc. were all there and they all said that Fedor was the best in the world.my issue is with the exception of nog, most of that list is former champs... not the current... meaninig there was still better competition even at the time.

so much yes hereive always been a fedor fan ... id like to see him fight werdum !
imo hes the baddest mofo ever m1 or ufc ... he doesnt pin as far as i knowso much yes here
I feel like a lot of newer fans only knew about him when he came into Strikeforce, which is when things started to go south. But the Pride days were just amazing.When he was at his best, the UFC HW division was absolute garbage and all of the top HWs were in PRIDE.

Sucks we were robbed of seeing Fedor in the OWGP in '06.I feel like a lot of newer fans only knew about him when he came into Strikeforce, which is when things started to go south. But the Pride days were just amazing.
Yep. Would have liked to see another fight with Cro Cop.Sucks we were robbed of seeing Fedor in the OWGP in '06.
You are obviously new to the fighting game ufc he division has always been a joke. Mir haha dude ****ing sucksmy issue is with the exception of nog, most of that list is former champs... not the current... meaninig there was still better competition even at the time.

39 yrs old he fights this year probably an exhibition.I've recently been getting into MMA when I came across Conor Mcgregor. Came across Fedor as well and he was a very interesting guy and clearly one of the best. How old is he now? And when is he actually fighting again?
I don't think he would. Fedor is an all or none kind of guy.39 yrs old he fights this year probably an exhibition.

Hmmm ....He's lost his time in Politics of Russia,best move for him was to stay there..I guess he was missing punching body bags
Does this mean consensus?Hmmm ....
I do love his style as he comes from my roots . Im not a fan of his toying with fighers tho...Does this mean consensus?
