How do you rate Hendo's win over Fedor?

It wouldn't have made a difference. Dean said that he made the decision to stop the fight when Fedor faceplanted. He was flash KO'd, and he woke up after Hendo started hitting him again. That's happened plenty of times in MMA, most notably in Liddell/Rampage 2. If you go out, the fight is over.

 

He took a couple punches and thats it. I have seen fighters take much worse beatings that Herb Dean has alowed to go on.

Many people don't understand that sometimes to get out of hold downs and other situations you have to first relax your body and then explode.

It was to early to say if Fedor was hurt or not and someone with Fedor's toughness should have been given the benefit of the doubt.

If you watch the video closly you will see that Henderson uses his body weight to collapse Fedor to the ground.

I am sorry you feel that way, but I know exactly what I am talking about. I have nothing more to say on the topic anyhow, I have said my peace.

 

Yes you have and are clearly in denial. The gifs proove that Fedor looked like he just drank a case of beer when he got up.

Having man love for Fedor is one thing but it's obvious what happened but don't worry Fedor's loses don't count anyhow.

 

He was a little buzzed, but it was not as bad as the slow motion makes it look.

Fedor would have had no problem tying up Henderson on the ground and he would have likely easily survived the rest of the round.

I am not even that big of fan of Fedor. I always just thought it was a bad stoppage.

 

In Frye Vs Shamrock they got into an exchange and Ken ate one and seemed to go completely limp and fell onto his back with arms at his sides. Had the fight been stopped then and there I believe Ken would have probably stood up on wobbly legs the way Fedor did. It wasn't, Ken revived, held on, recovered sufficiently and eventually put Don in an ankle lock. I can see where you're coming from.
I think a case can be made both ways. I don't think it's the worst stoppage of all time but I also think Fedor could have recovered.

 

Didn't had anything to do with Silva size and I stand by what I've said.

your arguement is so easy, after Silva was on full guard on him how could Fedor could get from under an almost 300 pound opponent, I agree, but this fight shoudn't ever had come to the ground.

Fedor fought sloppy and he lost, didn't had anything to do with the size.

But you admit that Werdum size didn't have anything to do with the subb right ? :huh

 

If somehow Hendo's punch had landed while both guys were standing, there would be no debate right now.

 

Good stoppage. Agree with everything Flea said. The reversal was great to open up that shot. Still can't see how people can complain Hendo was going to keep hitting Fedor and he was clearly not there.
