Tito Ortiz claims Fedor Emelianenko has never been properly tested over the years

  1. He was a freak show who used his weight and size advantage to beat his opponents.......this is exactly the same with Brock Lesnar.

    I'm not pretending Zulu was a world beat but 6'7, over 400 pounds, 15-0 with 15 stoppages is a risk. It's just Fedor loves fighting on New Years Eve.

    Didn't fight a fighter worthy of fighting the #1 HW in the world. Vadim cockblocked as much or more.

    I'm not pointing fingers, or blaming anybody, I'm stating a pretty clear fact: none of the fighters between Mirko and Arlovski (3+ years) were truely worthy contenders for a #1 HW to fight.

    No, those are OK fights, not worthy fights for the best in the world.

    Sylvia lost those fights, Coleman is clearly no longer #1 contender material.

    They weren't terrible fights, but they were not who a #1 HW in the world should be fighting, do you agree?

    Considering Fedor was NOT in the UFC had just left PRIDE and the current options of heavys were not even pro's let alone contenders who exactly was he going to fight?
    Other than Barnett there was no one else of significance and we know what happened there.

    That's actually a pretty lack luster record nowadays. He has tarnished his career by not fighting in the UFC.

    That is an explanation, but it is also a confirmation of the fact that those fighters were not worthy competition.

    Well it is isn't it? He didn't fight the level of competition he should have as the #1, regardless of the reason, for 3+ years.

    Fedor could fight Dan Severn and people would talk about how he beat another "former" UFC champion.

    But he didnt did he. Why dont we stick to the facts AJAX?

    So seeing as NONE of the current crop of UFC heavys notable names were even pro's yet let alone noted contenders WHO exactly was Fedor going to fight bearing in mind he's NOT in the UFC?
