How did Fedor survive this?

[linvillegorge]

He survives that, but not this...

Father Time is relentless and he eventually catches everyone.

 

[Jopious Extronimous]

...the same way every pro wrestler ever has survived a rough german suplex?

Just guessing. In terms of over-hyped visuals, this is right up there. Looks great but isn't the "man somehow surviving certain death!" that it's talked about as.

 

[Draper]

PEDs

 

[Ogata]

He survives that, but not this...

The thing about wear and tear is, its a bitch...

 

[blaseblah]

He survives that, but not this...

Why is he fighting with his hands down?

 

[IIIIIIII]

the more impressive survival was when big nog got dropped on his head by sapp. think he lost consciousness for a second after, then regained it.

 

[Patman]

In an alternate universe, Fedor gets KO'd by that slam. Kev would then have back to back wins over Cro Cop and Fedor.

He goes back to the UFC and probably wrestle fucks Arlovski for the UFC title. Retires as GOAT HW.

RIP The Monster

 

[Claude]

Because he's the GOAT.

 

[MMAFanatic86]

No idea how he survived it, but it goes to show how durable he was.

The guy had 30+ fights before he finally lost. And Shertard's want to act like Fedor isn't the HW GOAT.

He lost to Tsuyoshi Kohsaka.

and a minute later

according to UFC fanboy logic that fight must have been fixed and the slam was fake. it is Pride/Japan afterall where either the fights are fixed or the competition is easier.

He lost to Tsuyoshi Kohsaka.

Fine be a dick. Jon Jones lost to Matt Hamil. No one recognizes either of those "losses" considering they were both bullshit.

Fedor's was probably even more so BS considering he was hit with an illegal elbow, yet still got the loss? That's like a boxer losing by TKO because he was headbutted.

 

[Agent Mulder]

The impact wasn't that strong.

Blew up his rib. Thats magic that it even effected his rib.
