Dont you guys praise him for beating "TRT Giants" in pride? If so why do you guys say he lost to bigfoot and hendo because they were on TRT? So when he beats TRT giants it counts, but when he loses to guys on TRT it doesnt lol.

Btw hendo was way older than him so dont use the Fedor was old excuses.
 
Everyone benefited from juice in Pride. Certain guys benefited more from TRT. And how are those 2 not perfect examples?

Those 2 meaning the Caveman and the Bigfoot

Thats the thing though. His fans always boast about how hes the goat because he beat guys on trt in pride. Then he loses to 2 guys on TRT in strikeforce and all of a sudden its not fair according to them. Maybe its just because the competition was a little stiffer.
 
Yes, in his prime, Fedor handled some "TRT giants" in PRIDE. Yes, he also lost two fighters who were using TRT later in his career. It should also be noted that not everyone is in their prime at the same exact time. Hendo especially was very elite for a very long time. Others are not so lucky.
 
I'm a fan and I think the losses count as much as the wins. And he wasn't old when he got beat by Dan. Dan just plain won.
Is it okay to still be a fan?
 
To the thread title - Yes
To what you posted - Fedor fans only answer one question at a time.

Only took 3 replies for a Fedor nut-hugger to use the "prime" excuse.

I'm sure that if I search in your post history I'll find some "pre diverticulis Brock".
 
It's pretty simple.
Fedor had stopped weight training, had lost power and speed and was headhunting, plus normal long lasting injuries, the church, the exposure, involvment in Russian MMA , Putin's guest and everything else that drains the life out of champions .
The TRT guys were not slowing down and actually getting stronger as he was going downhill. Bigfoot on top of an undersized non weight training Fedor? Bigfoot nearly had a heart attack trying to finish him. Still no quit in him though.
Dans punch? Well it's an unsual knockout to say the least. Not many people would find a H bomb come up under their right shoulder when all four points are on the mat. Just a crazy scramble flash- ko that would not be expected to be repeated in 100 fights.

I dont get it. I like Fedor but im not a rabid fan.
If something is harder because other guys are cheating and you arent..... Doesnt that kinda work in your advantage win or lose?
You are looking for hypocrisy where there is only a consistent standard.

Btw, i by no means mean that Fedor was 100% clean.
 
One day I hope fans constantly commenting on PED's, and TRT have a clue as to what they're talking about.

TRT Giants in Pride?

The ignorance makes me want to pull my hair out...

More importantly....Anyone using TRT as an excuse as to why Fedor lost is being a total fanboy douche.
 
Aren't you kind of answering your own question? When he beat fighters on TRT or PEDs, it was extra impressive because he was natural (as far as we know) and beating people on TRT or PEDs. When he lost to fighters on TRT or PEDs, it's understandable because he was natural (again, as far as we know) and much older at the time of those fights. I'm not even a big time Fedor fan but I don't see why you're questioning how impressive it was for an undersized and natural fighter to beat bigger guys who were on TRT or PEDs.

You act as if there is no such thing as a "prime." I assure you, it is a thing. it is not an excuse, it just is. Fedor still lost, but his decline was obvious well before he fought Werdum. He looked slow against Arlovski before landing the KO punch, and he looked especially bad in his win over Brett Rogers. I think many of his fans, myself included, knew it was a matter of time before the losses started coming. That's just the nature of the sport.
 
Fedor couldn't even win 2 straight in strikeforce.
 
I just praise him for being the hw goat.It was alot of fun watching his long reign at the top.
That feeling i got when i ordered the pride ppv and the promos for the event started,cant be matched for me by todays mma.
 
Fedor changed up his training or stopped caring or a combination of both, he simply was not the man he was a couple years earlier. Of course Bigfoot deserves credit for what he did, the Hendo fight was a fluke and he deserves as much credit for that as serra gets for beating GSP.

If you want excuses then the Bigfoot fight was 1-1 in rounds going into the third and the doctors stopped it, Koscheck was allowed to finish against GSP! I mean, he was never the same afterwards but he was allowed to go on.

And herb dean went full retard with the hendo stoppage.

Opponents having TRT/Roids/Redbull is an advantage that opponents have

Said that

I see the reason of his loss more in Fedor's decline (decline visible some fights BEFORE he started lose) than in any substance theyr opponents had, specially considering that the first to get a W from him was Werdum who was clean
