Here is the logical scheme of the argument against Fedor's GOAT-hood:
- Fedor was dominant in PRIDE (14-0). Wasn't as dominant on American soil (5-3).
- PRIDE wasn't legitimate because there wasn't a strict drug-testing policy.
- Fedor has 3 losses on American soil.
- Therefore, Fedor was exposed.
- Dan Henderson and Antonio Silva, the 2 men that beat Fedor, were on Testosterone Replacement Therapy. THEY WERE LEGALLY ALLOWED TO INJECT STEROIDS INTO THEIR BLOODSTREAM IN LIMITLESS AMOUNTS UNTIL FIGHT WEEK... WHERE THEY COULD DROP TO PSEUDO-NORMAL LEVELS (NOT REALLY, BECAUSE THEY COULD STILL HAVE A 4:1 T:E RATIO)
- Dan Henderson and Faricio Werdum were both PRIDE fighters.
- Fedor Emelianenko knocked out Andrei Arlovski and Tim Sylvia on American soil. The 2 fighters that reigned over the UFC Heavyweight division when he reigned over PRIDE. He essentially proved that he was the greatest fighter of his era by beating the 2 men he couldn't fight because of contractual issues.... AND HE BEAT THEM ON AMERICAN-SOIL.
