i'm quite sure even though he always looked sloppy, Fedor was in much better shape before. look at those legs.
Yeah, his best wins were against normal-sized heavyweights in Pride or big lumps (like Zulu). He hasn't fought these massive guys that cut to 265 to fight in North America. I still think Valasquez would beat most of these Strikeforce heavies though based on his wrestling. None of these guys are good wrestlers.
Whatever happened to letting the fighter fight? Doc stops it? I don't totally agree but I don't think Fedor was "hurt" just oversized and busted up. Good fight by Silva its too bad Fedor should probably just retire anyway he has been talking about it. His heart doesn't semm into it all he is trying to do is go for the KO.
Fedor is the only reason I sometimes watch MMA. With him over the hill now.... Strikeforce lost big time tonight - because they only had one real start the shined brighter than UFC - Fedor. Now they have noone. I don't care much about Silva... and I guess most people think he beat Fedor because Fedor is not what he was. So the big big loser is Strikeforce - and of course Fedor.
He'll fight again, but I do think his career is pretty much over. He's going to go the way of Cro Cop. How things change in just a few years.
Only sad part now is that I never got a chance to see Fedor of 3-4 years ago in the UFC. Such a great champion.
