he is still the best ever. that said, he is since 1-2 years far past his primes and only rushes in the ring without defence and nothing just too finish his opponents, saidly not every opponent is as vulnerable as tim sylva. his last 3 fights he lost, in my oppinion were not propper losses. vs werdum, werdum basicly only had submission chance, he was on his back, fedor ferociously attacking and forgeting his defence and werdum took advantage, a win for werdum, but it's not like he he beat the **** out of fedor. vs a. silva, there are no excuses too be made, silva was simply better that day. vs henderson, henderson came too fight, I respect that, but you dont win by punching your opponent 2 times on the back of the head and than get your hands raised. plus and this not only me stating that, fedor looked compared too better times very slow and simply looked like a 40 year old man at the end of his career, hendo looked ripped and ready. all I am saying is, I prime fedor, the fedor who attacked fast, but still had defence in mind and had peak condition and was much stronger would have rumbled hendo, big foot and werdum was lucky. and dont say fedor is overrated because everybody loses, anderson silva (danas so called best ever) got bashed for 4 rounds by sonnen and only got lucky with his last second submission. okami beat him etc and they did while silva was around his prime, nobody beat fedor while fedor was at his prime, no prime cro cop, no prime nuegiera, nobody!
I don't know what is up with Fedor, it seems over the last few years his stand up game is to just go for the knockout by throwing wild hayemakers. You can't "Zulu" a guy like Hendo.
Agree with this But Shotdor was beaten fair and square, and was lucky not to get beaten by of all people Brett Rogers
How are they not proper losses? Are ali' losses in his later career not real are mike tysons not real are Roy jones' losses not real? Look fedor is shot but those losses are real if he didn't tap to werdum then he passes out, silva beat the **** out of him and hendo k.o'd, fedor will still go down as the best ever HW just because u lose at the end of ur career doesnt change that! but to say they are not proper loses is stupid!
Fedor used to be a ground fighter. After his success in the stand up with Tim Sylvia, Fedor decided he was a stand up fighter and mixed results followed.
Get the **** out of here with this bull****. Lucky submissions? **** off. Not proper losses? **** off. Seriously. That's a hell of a way to cheapen everything these guys have achieved at the absolute highest level of the sport. This idiotic post isn't just insulting to Hendo, Anderson, Big Foot and Werdum it's insulting to Fedor as well.
so if you beat somebody for 4 rounds and overwhelm him, and than your opponent does a submission, than in your oppinion your opponent is not lucky? hahaha...you know nothing
I don't think anyone who knows what they are talking about (and who aren't paid to comment on fan boards by the UFC) can deny a word you said. Fedora is very cleary the GOAT. He was a natural and never trained as hard as the other top names. often had a little car tire around his waist etc. That still worked because of his supernatural natural ability.... but fighters that rely on natural ability usually get over the hill soon than less talented but hardworking fights. Roy Jones junior also suddenly got old rather young. Still farfar ahead as GOAT is Fedor.
I think Fedor now lost three in a row...proper or not. Fedor is unfortunately over the hill. We should be happy he came about and fought in our generation. As GOAT he is far ahead of second best. But let's be honest ... he is over the hill and will never dominate again.
