This place is sounding like Sherdog with the Fedor hate. So, what about all the Lesnar hype here? Guy with less than a handful of wins favored over Fedor by some of you guys, and Fedor fans supporting Fedor rightfully equates to being the worst Fedor Nut hugger? Gonna make me stop participating in this forum too if this is the direction this place is going.
I've moved on. Pride wasn't perfect, but it evolved rather quickly, for the purpose of implementing rules to make fights entertaining. Makes you wonder if Dana White ever thought about a having fights with NO judges. Only way to win is via sub or knockout. This was there for Pride 1. Pride was hands down more entertaining. Some of the fights I feel were absolutely stupid, and for a while I was in agreement with Dana White about the freakshow matches, but then he has done the same thing more recently with his match making.
The Fedor hate is farcical. The guy was undefeated for a decade. Lesnar goes 5 - 1 and gets more love. Just proves the UFC mentality.
PRIDE FC was the best MMA org in the history of MMA. Its legacy just happens to include the all time greats of MMA. Thats not something that needs to be forgotten about when its demise was a meer 3 years ago. Just goes to show the fickle nature of MMA fans.
probably fedor, you aren't gonna find any argument from me that he is the best fighter ever but you can't even make a negative comment without getting ****. More generally UFC nut huggers **** me off, one of my mates is and comes out with crap all the time and it's so ****ing annoying.
Nobody is hating Fedor, it's just that he doesn't actually have laser beams shooting out of his eyes and he is indeed human. The answer to every question being "Fedor with ease" is just tiresome.
Shogun is the only one I can think of. Seemed like everyone started riding this guy's nuts after the first Machida fight, and after his knockout in the rematch they act like he's unbeatable. Even Dana White creams his pants over this guy. He's become so overrated you'd think he never got submitted by freakin Forrest Griffin.
dudes got a history before ufc tho. we are talking about someone who beat ... Lyoto Machida, Liddel, Coleman, Overeem (twice), Randleman, Diabate, Antônio Rogério Nogueira, Arona and Rampage all (apart from Coleman and Nog) in the first round. Out of his 4 losses ... Coleman only beat him (in the first match) by breaking his arm AVENGED Machida pulled off one of the most controversial decisions of the last decade which resulted in a rematch. AVENGED Griffin caught him when he was ****ed and injured. but no excuses ...fair enough. And Sobral caught him clean. Fair enough. I dont think he is the GOAT but he is pretty good and at just 28 i can see why people respect his accomplishments.
Ultimately you hear so much from Fedor's fans because you get so much criticism directed at him. As the biggest name outside of the UFC he becomes the natural target for every UFC fanboy under the sun. The idea that his fans respond to criticism any worse than say GSP or BJ is really just a smokescreen created by those fanboys to justify there dislike of him. Go to any big MMA forum and look at the lenght threads on the subject of Fedor and 90% of the time their driven by criticism. This idea that there driven by his rabib fans simpley isnt true.
