me and my wife was watchin the fight and we both were like DAMN when fedor took that ground and pound.....and i also thought he was going to rip his arm off when he went for that armbar
Slow? atschDid you see the fight? His combos were very crisp, that right hand he missed when Rogers was on his back was insane. I think he was just more timid because Rogers has all his wins by KO, he played it safe to avoid having the same outcome.
To me its the same fedor, in so many fights he looks so beatable, but that is why he is great, overcomes adversity
He barely got touched against Arlovski. Those punches were grazing shots. And I just rewatched the Rogers fight and it didn't look nearly as bad as it did live.
Fedor was in NO danger and ended up crushing a young, strong contender. YEAH SURE! "It is only a matter of time"... Before he does it again...
Dudes Fedor is human and you're can only look as good as your opponent allows you too. Rogers did a good job and I think Fedor did a great job turning the fight around. Fedor seems to have it all right, even after suffering an injury he still isn't fazed by any means.
i've been watching fedor since 2003-2004 and he's still looking awesome. he was all that in his last fight but i dont think he took that seriously. p4p-h2h greatest fighter of the last 100 years.
Rookies the lot of you. Fedor will loose a step his getting older and has been doing this for a decade now. BUT Fedor has always fought the same way. His striking is the same as it looked in his early days in PRIDE. He still cuts as easily as he did when in Rings. Nothing new to see her folks. People are over analysing this way to much. This is MMA people. The sooner guys realise that the better.
But on the other hand it was a hell of a lot more exciting than the Rua Machida fight......I'd much rather watch a fight like this....:yep
Yea, he's getting old. Can't believe it took him that long to KTFO finish #8 in the world. T-1000 is getting rusty.
everyone gets old, the margin for winning in fighting sports is slim against top guys. amazes me how mma fans thinks their sport is different somehow. fedor's gonna lose, unless he truly does something amazing: retire while he's still on top and STAYS retired.
