There was a "gentleman's agreement" that no kicks were to be thrown, but Sylvia made it clear he was having none of that when a threw a kick in the opening seconds.Because he got the biggest paycheck of his life from fighting Fedor in Affliction. He then took a year off and gained a lot of weight.
Sylvia and Mercer was also supposed to be a boxing match but it was not sanctioned and it was changed to an MMA fight last minute.
I know that PRIDE shills think 17-14 Fujita is a good fighter because he scored a fluke victory over an unmotivated Mark Kerr
Wanderlei Silva has been beaten up on the ground by guys who aren't even grapplers, like Hunt and Cro Cop
Lesnar is 10X the grappler and G&P artist that those guys are
Lol at "PRIDE shills." Can't be a shill for something that is dead. You are obviously a UFC shill. You obviously didn't watch PRIDE when it was around. Cro Cop had deadly GNP and Wand still didn't get finished on the ground. He got finished by a standing LHK. Brock is obviously a better wrestler than CC or Hunt but he doesn't hit even 10% as hard as those guys.I know that PRIDE shills think 17-14 Fujita is a good fighter because he scored a fluke victory over an unmotivated Mark Kerr

"A lot quicker and more impressive than Fedor's performance." Lol. Fedor won in 36 seconds. He also dropped Tim with punches and then choked him out. It was an embarrassing loss for Tim to lose to Ray but Ray was a world class boxer and landed a good shot. Everyone loses. Even great fighters. Nobody is undefeated forever.There was a "gentleman's agreement" that no kicks were to be thrown, but Sylvia made it clear he was having none of that when a threw a kick in the opening seconds.
He wanted to win that MMA fight by any means necessary, and still got starched in 9 seconds lol. Ray's performance was a lot quicker and more impressive than Fedor's, and he wasn't even a good boxer by that stage. He was old and fat as fuck
Ray was not a world class boxer when he fought Tim lmao"A lot quicker and more impressive than Fedor's performance." Lol. Fedor won in 36 seconds.

He was obviously past his prime but he still had better hands than 99% of the world and better than anyone in MMA. You think he lost his ability to land a good punch?Ray was not a world class boxer when he fought Tim lmao
Hadn't boxed in a while and lost to a complete can named Derric Rossy
Seems that many posters on this forum share that opinion, especially Fedor fans
However they never seem to be able to support such opinions and statements with facts or logical explanations
The truth is that Bigfoot exposed one of Fedor's primary weaknesses, which is that he was far too comfortable being on his back. Prime Fedor got taken down by an old Coleman and Hong Man Choi, but was able to beat them because neither of them knew how to defend a simple armbar from guard.
Lesnar is a far superior wrestler and athlete than the likes of Hong Man Choi, so he would've taken Fedor down easily and punched his head into the canvas. Same thing happens to Nog and Mirko.
Bigfoot is a vastly inferior fighter to Lesnar, and Fedor got mounted and completely destroyed by him on the ground while also being unable to hurt him on the feet, something which many people have done.
For reference, DC slept Bigfoot in less than 4 minutes in Bigfoot's very next fight, and Cain humiliated TRT Bigfoot in a matter of minutes TWICE
Lesnar also has a far better chin than Bigfoot or even Fedor himself, it's just that he didn't like getting hit. Fedor landing a punch in the 1st 30 seconds and flurrying on Brock for a TKO is his ONLY path to victory, but even that was highly unlikely because Lesnar wouldn't jump at him with his chin up like Andrei did.
Also I wouldn't be surprised if Brock was able to hurt Fedor on the feet, considering that pro wrestler Fujita was able to do the same. Brock has legit power on the feet, as evidenced by him dropping and finishing Randy.
Cain destroyed Bigfoot while Fedor got destroyed by him
DC also did the same thing to Bigfoot. Bigfoot's best win is over a roidless Reem who got KTFO in his next two fights lmao
Fedor is not even close to Cain in terms of skill level, he was a wild brawler who relied on his speed
Fedor couldn't even KO chinny Bigfoot even when he hit him cleanly multiple times
Lesnar has a far better chin than Bigfoot
Carwin hits 100X harder than Fedor
Because he'd never faced a good fighter with power before
He got flatlined by DC in his next fight with a few punches, while Fedor hit him cleanly a lot of times and couldn't do shit to Silva
He didn't even get rocked once against Fedor
Just stop lmao, Fedor's power has never been anything special. DC's power isn't eye popping either and he starched Bigfoot with the first couple of punches he landed
Cro Cop has a losing record in the UFC lol
Sylvia got flatlined even faster by a 50 year old washed up boxer, and Arlovski made a silly mistake and gave the fight away. He was boxing Fedor up before that

It's just that a guy who's shit and washed up by boxing standards was probably the best boxer in MMA, shows you the state of the HW division when Fedor "ruled" it
Prime Lesnar? Fuck no. Look what he did to Mir... twice. 1-1 but still. That was prime Mir. Yes, for about a year and change Lesnar might not have been the baddest man alive, but people thought he was. I did.
Lmao Whatever helps you kids sleep at nightPrime Fedor would be favored to beat every MMA fighter who ever lived.

Ubereem was way more powerful than Fedor, had better TDD, and far superior striking techniqueLesnar was terrified of Overeem's strikes. How would he act after getting a taste of Fedors power?

Gtfo, Ubereem would decapitate Prime Fedor with one arm tied around his back
