Did Mitrione having better sparring partners play a role?

[BigMuffler]

Age concerns aside, Fedor still trains mainly with unknown Russians while Mitrione as we all know trains with beasts!

 

[mcdowels]

They hit each other at the sane time

 

[Fahcough]

You think we'll ever see a double submission

 

[BRASIL WAND]

Nah, I'm pretty sure nearly 3 decades of Combat Sambo and MMA wear and tear had something to do with it.

Mitrione just got dropped, nearly out by the ancient statue of Fedor's past. People forget he's old too, just Meathead has less miles on him.

Meh. Matt is a big athletic dude so the potential is there , but let's not forget he did get knocked down but the Shadow of Fedor before he pounced on said faded legend and his current win streak isn't exactly setting the world on fire.

I would have liked to seen the fight go aleast 1 round to see more of how Fedor would look but when you have big heavy hitters like that then it only takes one for the lights to blink.

How do you make a sparring partner connection in a fight that almost ended in a double KO?

.... Did you not know they train simultainous shots for survival purpouses..... or maybe not.

No, Meathead having aged better played the biggest factor. That made him recover faster and stand up quicker, and also made him understand the position they where in and the opportunity to finish he had before Fedor.

What's with them goddamn excuses????
Fedor lost, plain and simple.
Of course age is one factor but that alone doesn't explain his demise.
Refusal to patch his game is the biggest factor.
Sorry for interruption, keep on bringing' em excuses lads.

 

[Pwent]

No mitrione was just tougher and wanted to win more

 

[BBCorvette18Pun]

Matt being more athletic and faster is what played the role they both started moving forward after being dropped at the same time

 

[My Spot]

Mitrione has more experience and success fighting in a cage with PED testing.

Mitrione landed on his ass, Fedor landed on his back, so Mitrione has been able to bounce back quicker.
