except werdum, bigfoot and hendo.
Fedor looked different in this fight, even his stance was different. He was not straight up and down, and was not bouncing like he usually did. Kudos, good fight, he is better in the game then out. well done
Too little too late.
yea, your right. the only thing bouncing was his titties!...
M-1 destroyed Fedor by concealing him. while the rest of the MMA word has been ever evolving Fedor has been concealed by a no brain organization that is a few cheap fights away from an abrupt end, and a tarnished reputation of a great fighter with amazing natural abilities that got him where he is today.
yea other than those guys fedor can beat anybody. yea whatever
if fedor actually changed up his training and came over to the US he probably could beat any1. Same goes for mousasi
at last Monson is right!
really? jeff monson. this guy couldn't beat tim silvia back when the ufc's HW division was a joke.
NO Fedor can't beat anyone...... but he can beat you, Snowball.
It's hard to say if Fedor could beat anybody you know, he only won by unanimous decision to a top 30 HW.
in his prime he was a beast but he is past his prime as are cro cop and Wanderlei Silva ...will we say the same of JDS in 10 years ?
And lets bring soccer kicks into th ufc ...see how that stops fighters diving to the floor.
Fedor still has it,he has been stuffed around by m-1.. if he gets a modern and evolved training camp behind him who kows what he is capable of.. war Fedor!
