Rogan just gave MM the jinx of death. MM is done.
BTW, why don't we have "Rogan doing weights" smiley?

there he goes again...Rogan is correct. Fedor ducked UFC + Reem x2.
After 2005, Fedor was semi retired with his can crushing. Reem was HW champ and Fedor ducked twiced like the link I posted stated.
Russian can crusher. Not a fan of DJ. Weakest division in the sport. Still, Fedor crushes cans and ducked.
AHHAHAAHAHHAHAHIt can be argued that MM is a better fighter than Fedor ever was (he's still likely a bit behind in accomplishments, so I certainly wouldn't call him greater yet, though), but the HW division's general skill level is no higher now than it was then (total skill level and depth is arguably lower). Guys like prime Cro Cop, Barnett, Nogueira, and Kharitonov would all have every chance of being elite in the current HW division, and I don't think there is any doubt Fedor himself would be elite (and have a good chance at still being the best HW in the world).
Just.Stop.Posting.Of course he is.
He's a better striker and a better grappler skill-wise. No debate. Fedor reigned during the era of MMA where the men's HW division was filled with fighters who were WMMA level of one-dimensional.
Fedor wanted extra testing and Overeem was blatantly doping. That's not ducking as far as I'm concerned (the other guy posting about it trolls every topic, he's not posting in earnest). The size differences do get played up a tad, though. Fedor wasn't meaningfully smaller than his two greatest contemporaries. He weighed right around what Cro Cop and Nog did (more than Cro Cop and Nog at different points in their careers, actually). The majority of the greatest HWs of all time haven't been anymore than 240 in peak shape (Fedor was 230-235 at his peak). Most of Fedor's game was based off speed and explosion, anyway. Honestly, that's probably the biggest reason for his decline other than the fact that he stopped caring about training (sharp decline of his exceptional speed and reflexes).
Put them both in the Octagon and lock the door...
Ya i wasn't saying he was always facing bigger men. He was comparable to the guys in Pride. But the Grand Prix was ridiculous.
It seems Fedor went from steroids to nothing at all, when all these guys jumped on the TRT wagon.
Rogan is high on sherm...He can't be trusted.
YepSorry. Little guys can win 1 billion fights in a row. They will never be GOAT. It's just a fact of life. Get over it manlets.
At hw 10 years not cans my manGoat can crusher. Runner up is Khabob who is closing in on the title. Also recently added ducking to his resume hours before a fight.
YepI think people are forgetting how technically good Fedor was everywhere. He's a much more impressive fighter than MM, in all areas.
