Fedor didn't.. And everyone criticizes his performance against Monson. He stuck to his game plan and broke Jeff's leg instead of getting choked out.

I hear in Brazil one must be wary of snowmen.. many BB snowmen.. and of course, how do they set up a RNC? With the moonwalk of course.

Sad performance given this is his most notable opponent in six years.

Fedor did the same.. and he didnt get taking down

He's a pretty entertaining fighter with some of the best hands in MMA. It was really awesome watching him KO dudes with his incredible hand speed back in the day.
