You mean Fedor has crazy power. Have you seen his fights in PRIDE? Have you seen the beating he gave Nog? Or Herring? Or Goodridge? Or Coleman? Seriously those punches were like sledgehammers hitting flesh and bone. Fedor has serious KO power in BOTH hands. When he smells blood he goes for the kill.
Great shot. It's funny how Roger's is claiming it was stopped early the dude probably lost control of his bowels he was hit so hard:rofl
Did he really? He has a point. But the fact of the matter is, it was VERY clear Fedor wasn't trying to kill the dude. He knew he Rogers was hurt, and he was just striking for show after he went down. He really was being nice to Rogers tryin not to hurt the guy basically opposite of what he did to Zulu.
I've seen his fights and he has crazy power if he lands right. guys like moorer and pacquiao have put people down and out from punches that don't even land right. same with belfort. some guys got silly power no matter how they hit you. fedor has huge bombs in either hand and they are ****ing haymakers. if they land right, the person is in serious trouble.
It's not just in his hands. He routinely outmuscles guys that are 40-50 lbs heavier than him. Watch round 1 again, Fedor tosses Rogers to the floor like HE was the one who outsized his opponent by 50 lbs. His strength is ****ing unreal.
You got to realize some people don't care about mma. They only care about zuffa. On the punch: No sound effects needed.
fedor is strong but very good at manipulating somes weight and anatomy. i think rogers was incredibly strong and saw fedor struggle with the brute strength of rogers. fedor being fedor found the way and destroyed him.
I dont think it's his strength to be honest. I don't think he would be stronger than Rogers in a weightlifting competition. But when it comes to balance and using your center of gravity well, the usability of that strength is much higher. In essence Rogers, for example, would be using 50% of his strength while Fedor using 90% of his strength just because he knows how to use it better.
I searched for a link but think it might have been all his supporters.. I don't think Rogers said it himself.
Obviously being vastly more skillful than your opponent helps, but that **** wouldn't be possible without incredible strength. Shinya Aoki would not be able to throw a LHW fighter around like that. Rogers would more than likely win a weightlifting competition against Fedor, but to me it's pretty obvious that Fedor is significantly stronger p4p.
p4p for sure. Im not saying he's weak. Don't get me wrong, Im just saying that it has more to do with his skill rather than actual strength that makes him able to move people around so good.
Big John jumped in at the perfect moment and Fedor could have seriously hurt Rogers (Who was almost in a foetal position and helpless) had he wanted to!! Rogers IS a good fighter and he has the potential to become a far better fighter but, until he accepts the facts of this fight (It was his first defeat and he seems to be having trouble accepting the truth) he will never realise his full potential (And his BS makes him sound like a tool, which he probably isn't).
