    the real questions should be as follows: -are you an alt account of outerdrake? - was rogers v arlovski a lucky punch? - by your logic should we label every meaningful punch landed throughout history a 'lucky' punch?

    Thank you for pointing to this fight. I've watched it years ago, but looking at it now it is just unbelievable what kind of torque Fedor can deliver on the ground with his punches. Those are just hammers! He is no doubt the greatest MMA fighter in history by miles. Watching the video makes me think if Fedor still could deliver that kind of a performance today though. I think he is starting to fade physically at age 33, but he's not all that far from his peak years still. He is heavily relying on his excellent reflexes and they will diminish sooner or later. He should fight a couple of times in the next 2 years and retire on top. I don't want to see him doing a Roy Jones...

    he's among the best sambo practitioners(if not the best). just because his balance doesn't fit a boxing mold doesn't mean it's bad. like you said the record doesn't lie. he goes in and gets his job done. baddest man alive.

    Fedor is the greatest Sambo practioner of all time. His record is unparalelled. No one has ever had a run that long of concurrent victorys.

    exactly. his stand up might not be text book but it obviously works for him. if it ain't broke don't fix it.

    TOP post...........although i will say is that Fedor would smash all journeyman boxers as his toughness, speed, reflex and chin are top notch. Only top fighters in boxing would stand him on his head.....
