only ufc newbs hate on fedor.
Could you imagine Fedor on TrT?
He was in Pride for over a decade.Could you imagine Fedor on TrT?
Dude has also had to fight roided guys too, Arvloski popped for peds, Werdum popped for peds, Dan Henderson almost radioactive with TRT and Bigfoot Silva with TRT.Dude has been the smaller guy the majority of his career. If anything he's fighting guys his size now. Cut him a break, he has wins over several UFC Champs and is still entertaining us well past his prime. Respect the beast.
Chris Haseman.What? What smaller fighters has he fought? chael and Hendo?

It's like hating Mark Hunt for fighting "smaller guys". Fedor is 5'10 and Hunt is 5'9Who da HELL has hated on Fedor for fighting SMALLER opponents?!?
Dude is a middleweight with a tire around his mid-section, for fux sake.
Guy spent his entire career fighting bigger fighters?
Chris Haseman.
It's interesting how Fedors(233lbs) best opponents were all the smaller HW fighters like Cro Cop (225lbs), Nog(227lbs), Arlovski(237lbs) were all around 225-240lbs
Also a slight correction, technically he has never fought a UFC champion, only former champions, which doesn't really mean much.
You seem to ignore the fact that Fedor is way past his prime than Chael. Fedor is 42 for god sakes. Chael is under his prime relative to Fedor.I don't think anyone should be hating on him for fighting anyone at this point in his career. I hope he is enjoying himself and earning some money before he finally hangs them up.
We still need to keep things in perspective though. A bloated 2018 HW Chael is no way a quality win. Not that that should be a knock on Fedor
All these fighters were lean and muscular, Fedor had and has 20+ pounds of extra fat,
he could easily cut to LHW and still be smaller than most.
http://www.sherdog.com/news/articles/Fedor-vs-Cro-Cop-WeighIn-Report-3328The Russian went on the scale and took off his shirt to pose for the cameras before sitting down. While not ripped like Kawajiri or Baroni, the guy just looked really solid, like a ton of bricks. Seeing him on TV doesn’t really do justice to just how thick and strong this guy really is.
I'm ignoring nothing. It is exactly my poiny. At this stage of his career Fedor shouldn't be criticized for taking ANY fight he wants.You seem to ignore the fact that Fedor is way past his prime than Chael. Fedor is 42 for god sakes. Chael is under his prime relative to Fedor.
Seeing him stand beside Bader and Chael shows how fucked up extreme weight cutting is.
He's the same size as Chael, and Bader towers over him.
I've always wondered what Fedor at 205 would look like, but now I wonder if he could have made 185.
People have difficulty coming to terms with the fact that someone on this planet has such humility, grace, and greatness as a mixed martial artist and human being. They lash out in a variety of odd ways.
Fedor.
