Does being in a cage psychologically rattle Fedor?

[PancraseForever]

He fights completely differently in a cage compared to a ring. In a cage he just goes bezerk from the bell. In ring fights like Rizzo etc. it looks really different.

Do you think he's bothered by the cage psychologically?

Combat Sambo and Judo are done on mats. Rings and Pride had a ring. That's 20-something years before the transition to fighting in a cage.

Here's what a psychologist said about Fedor's demeanor:

The psychologist quoted is Joe Bell:

"The best when it comes to the staredown is Fedor Emelianenko. Watch him: he does not make eye contact and his entire expression is extremely relaxed - you would think he is about to sit down for dinner or something.

"But here is the crucial thing. When the referee tells them to head back to their corners, Fedor suddenly darts a short look directly at his opponent - or through his opponent, I should say.

"This kind of look is associated with antisocial behavioural disorders and psychopaths. They don't look at you, they look through you. It's emotionless, it goes deeper than skin level.

"You will get a lot of fighters who will catch that look and suddenly realise they don't want to be there.

I have used this quote before and see the truth in it. For all the smack talk and bus beatings out there, nothing is more bad ass than this.

Mir was saying, in multiple interviews leading up to this fight, that Fedor couldn't use the cage at all, and that he would have a massive advantage there. Well... That seemed to be far from the truth. Fedor hit a nice trip off of the cage (with overhooks, too) and circled to the center, where he landed that counter left uppercut.

Do you think Fedor is bad/decent/good in the cage based on the little we saw last night?

 

[ThunderL1ps]

I thought it looked like Fedor couldn't find his angles until the finish.

 

[Stoic1]

Fedor rattled. GTFO here with #1 bullshit.

 

[myjohnson9]

Mir ate his words and even Mir in the best shape I’ve ever seen him in, got KO’d by the goat

 

[Dozer .]

Fedor is the GOAT

They are both washed up and threw wild heymakers until one of them fell.

Truly disgusting. Old, yes. Lost a step, yes. Washed up, no.

Walk away before you embarrass yourself further.

I won't be embarrassed until one of them beats up Stipe or Overeem or Cain or JDS or Ngannou or even Blaydes. As long as they are fighting in the minor leagues, they get no hespect as HW contenders.

You're embarrassing enough with that avatar. Blaydes, Ngannou, JDS (current)? It's hard to take you seriously.

How are they NOT washed up?

Fedor would be rocked by a punch from Rousey (he legit might be TKOd by Chael his chin is so shot) and Mir's chin is fucked too.

They just throw caution to the wind and swing like it's a pub brawl until someone is clipped.

Fedor also looks like he's fighting in treacle his speed is so diminished.
