A few losses in a row means you are shot.....Re-evaluating Fedor's Legacy

(Disclaimer, the views expressed in this thread do not represent the views of the thread starter. They are simply and application of views from the hardcore Fedor fans onto his own resume)

So it's been brought to my attention that the only viable and logical explanation for the GOAT recent losses are he's shot to ****. Not past Prime, not unmotivated, not suffering from technical flaws, not suffering for not changing up and improving his skill set.

No, he's shot

So I am taking this opportunity to re-evaluate Fedor's legacy but looking for the fighters he's faced and beaten during his career who can also called shot

So let's start with his last win

Brett Rogers - Came in off a career high win against Arlovski. But in between that, he must have become shot because he then went to lose two in a row

Andre Arlovski - Has been shot since his two losses to Tim Sylvia in 2006, and went on to lose his next 3 after his loss to Fedor. Clearly shot

Tim Sylvia - After lsoing to Randy Couture in 2007, went on to lose the next 3 out of 4 fights he had. Clearly shot by the time he fought Fedor

Hong Man Choi - Was clearly shot after his 1st victory against Bobby Olgun going into his fight with Fedor as he went 3-1, with that one win coming against Jose Conseco. Shot

Matt Linland - His win over Carlos Newton clearly took it's toll going into his next match up with Fedor as he went 2-5 after it. SHOT

Mark Hunt - Clearly shot when he faced Fedor as that loss was his 2nd in a string of 6 straight defeats. SHOT

Mark Coleman - Lost 4 straigh in the 97-99 period and went on to lose another before his match with Fedor then went 4-5 in his next 9. Shot

Zulu = won 9 straight, but was clearly shot the when he faced Fedor as he only 4-7 in his next 11. Shot

Kohsaka - went 1-5 in 01-02 winning his next 3 before the Fedor fight. But he was clearly shot by then

Randleman - had two spells of losing two in row row. But after going 1-3 in 03-04, got a fight with Fedor. After that one win in 04, only won 2 of his next 13. Clearly shot

Nagata - 2 fights, 2 losses. SHOT!

Goodridge - 17-13 going into the Fedor fight, SHOT!

Herring - Lost his next fight after the Fedor defeat, going 9-5 after. Clearly shot

Schilt - lost two in a row in 1999, debatable, but **** it. SHOT!

Haseman went 2-5 in his last 7. SHOT!

Hasdell - 4-9 in his entire career. Lost 5 in a row, picked up 1 win, then fought Fedor. Shot!

Yanagisawa -24-20 going into the Fedor fight. Enough said

Schall W4 in a row L2 in a row then picked up another win before the Fedor fight. Clearly shot

 

So in closing the fighters who were not shot by the time they face Fedor are

Big Nog

Cro Cop

Ogawa

Fujita

Valavicius

Arona

And Sobral

Best resume in MMA? So untouchable it's not even a debate? Over too you guys

 

I did indeed patsch

 

But read the list, those guys were shot too. Ive not mentioned his losses as he's clearly shot to ****.

We are talking about his wins, those guys in the OP are shot. No question about it.

 

Id pick Fedor. But Im told he's shot

So I'll have too pick Nog...but he's shot too :huh

ARRRRG!

 

Id say past prime sure, but too me, shot is being unable to compete due to an irreparable erosion in ability or physical attributes, at least at the highest level in this case.

Fedor's in decline, no doubt. But shot, not for me. He could have won both the Werdum and Hendo fights quite comfortably for me personally. He didnt, and I dont think he lost them due to my definition of shot

 

No argument from me there

But I know it's been done to death and been talked about. Like Popkins said, his views are in another thread.

The reasons have been addressed, Im dealing with the excuses, there's a difference

Why give no credit to Werdum, Big Foot, and Hendo's victory for it being down to Fedor being shot, when he has so many guys on his record who could be considered the same, easily.

Is he the GOAT, in the midst of GSP and Anderson's title reigns, who besides the win over another ATG in Big Nog, have more strength in depth, but Im still hearing it's not up for debate, Fedor the GOAT

So come on Fedor fans, I want answers, or stop posting this stuff in other threads.

 

This is a typical Sherdog sig. Name names, not repeat the same old stuff please
