http://www.sherdog.com/news/articles/Fighters-Trainers-React-to-Fedor-Loss-25364 "Fedor finally fought somebody on a great level, and it just showed the mistakes that Fedor makes on the ground. Werdum is somebody that I actually know, and I did an interview in Dallas for ESPN Radio and I called it. I knew he was going to beat him. I just felt that once Fedor fought someone with great talent, he would finally get his loss. You cant believe the hype, as they say. Has he ever been tested? Maybe once or twice? You cant say youre the best in the world if you havent competed against everybody in the world, and he hasnt. And I think by him not coming to the UFC put a big (stain) on his record. You can have a company back you and say youre the best guy in the world, but until you compete against the best guys in the world, youre not that guy. Theres a lot more things going on behind the scenes, and its not just Fedor making those decisions. Fedor is fighting for his country. But it is what it is, and it just proves that hes not invincible and that hes not one of the top heavyweights in the world. I think hes a decent fighter overall, but I was very proud of Werdum, though. Thats what comes with hard work. I didnt think hed submit him that quickly, but once Fedor gets on top of you, he gets kind of messy and (throws) looping punches, and a lot of triangles and arm locks come into position. Werdums a big guy and hes got some great triangles. When I rolled with him, he got me in a triangle, too. Hes a big guy who moves well and his jiu-jitsu game just shows how good he really is. Hes a former Abu Dhabi submission champ. (Fedors wins over Cro Cop and Nogueira) were a long time ago. That was when he was in his prime, I guess you can say. He hasnt fought anybody on the UFCs level, and the best guys are in the UFC. Werdum was in the UFC. They let him go, and he signed with Strikeforce and I think its kind of bad, you know, because Werdum is still a young guy whos coming up and still getting better and better by the month."
exactly ...pure hate and jealousy of the stardom makes him feel better for being clowned by jenna jameson.
Fedor will slaughter Werdum...Fedor got too agressive when he should have let Werdum get back up on his feet.
Pertty much what I expected when I read the tread title. I'd like to see Tito get in the ring with Fedor right after saying these comments to him and then he can see for himself how average of a fighter Fedor is.
This is Fedors team stupid decision not to sign with UFC. You cant say that this backlash wasnt expected. Now even a bum like Ortiz is saying something that makes a bit of sense.
Isn't this the same guy who punched his wife?? Yet hasn't won a fight in a longtime. Was to be Chucks Set up fight? It looks like he is trying to get on Dana good side again.
The only punchup he won was against his wife.......in saying that hes wife still won the overall fight. Give this wife beater to Cyborg, shell beat his as$ too.
