Where's the damn bullet points on this new shit?

Fedor cucks, explain why Fedor was being emasculated in the states at 33 if everyone seems to be destroying competition at that age? Is it because he went 6-5 under fights sanctioned by a governing body? And that maybe, just maybe PRIDE kept his mystique alive, longer then his skills could?

because he fought most cans
imagine stipe or cain fighting japanese pro wrestlers
fedors biggest wins where nog and cro cop

he declined in strikeforce where there is drug testing
maybe thats his weakness
he also fought fighters that know how to grapple and strike
a bigger pond

we dont even know whats real and whats fake there
alot of fix fights but pride huggers love it

edit : i believe he was 32 when he started fighting and losing outside pride

 

[tasticles]

Not if you're a Pride cultist lol.

Also, Yan is only champ because 33 year old cejudo retired.

I was gonna say 32 is getting old in LW and if you had a camp like chute box for longterm it's old on general. Then you've got guys like DC, Lawler, alex etc that look damn peak at 36.

All the guys Fedor lost to were on heavy TRT and other PEDs lol. Strikeforce was not testing like USADA let’s be honest. He was past prime when he started losing

 

[Paolo Delutis]

Fighters age is more about total fights and competition then actual age...

Like a car...and kilometers...

You can have 30 year old car with 10,000 kms on that thing is in its prime still ..

And u can have 10 year old car with 450,000 km and its almost dead if not dead already..

Prime and age and all that is just part of the equation...# of fights and competition is a better way to judge

so your trying to tell me
that pride and strikeforce let people use peds

but the drug testing affected fedor?thats why he lost at age of 32?
lmao

im confused bro..fedor huggers always has an excuse

bro you cant be the goat if your a 32 year old in prime, get humiliated like a b class fighter on
a drug testing org
a 40 year old past prime stipe wont lose to hendo or bigfoot

he just fought better competitions you people just need to deal with it

Much needed update!

Replaced Bellator with PFL

• there are currently no defenses for any male champion in either organization- first time I can remember this ever happening.
• there are currently no American male champions in the UFC
• there are only two American champions (out of 16) from both organizations combined
• only 2 out of 16 champions (Cyborg and Schevchenko) have defended their title

Interesting update - surprised so few American champs now. But nationalities can get complicated. Harrison in UFC and Corey Anderson in PFL are pretty clear. But off the top of my head, Dern is U.S. born and joint American/Brazilian and while Cyborg is Brazil born, she's lived and trained in the U.S. for many years. Also I believe Van is a naturalized U.S. citizen and according to his wiki, he's lived in Texas since age 12.

 

[Tweak896]

Crazy how Silva won his first UFC title about that age and went on to keep winning until he was 38. Champs just aren't made like they used to.

 

[fendertach]

Aspinall is champ but never won or defended a legitimate belt and he's almost 33 with no return in sight. Career over RIP

Yeah, there's more if you really break it down. Those fighters just aren't listed as "American". Harrison and Anderson are the only ones listed as American.

Jones and Pereira are really the only others comparable, but Alex has lost a few times.

"Champ", but there's still time. Look what Silva, Jones, and Poatan did.
