Fedor looking small next to Welters. How much weight could he cut back in PRIDEfc?

[Son of Werdum]

Fedor next to WW Douglas Lima..

Damn Nate dwarfing a HW in that first pic.

He really was three times the size of Conor...

 

[Flokk]

Take away his big Russian breakfasts and Fedor would be the size of prime Matt Hughes.

 

[JBJISGOAT]

Fedor was 6 feet 230-235, if he was a small HW so is Cain.

Is Cain a MW? Maybe he could kill himself to get to LHW just like Fedor but Fedor was not a small HW like his fanboys like to portray.

 

[donkeyjr]

Pppl really think if he cut down to 205 he would do well? His power and speed over his oponnent will be gone.

Fedor willl be always be overrated, hes jsut a brawler that was lucky enuff to fight a bunch of non demensional fighters.

 

[JBJISGOAT]

Yep a MW....

 

[Schoolboy Q]

This thread made me realize how small Cain Velasquez is...I miss prime Cain, dude was a fucking animal.

 

[TheAmericanGazelle]

He could EASILY slim down and cut to 205 without any problem whatsoever. At his physical peak, it would have been harder, but still doable. Now? It's easy. He has very little muscle mass left and he's fat.

Still love the guy though.

205 was definitely doable.

185 and below was not when he was at the top. His frame was way too robust.

This is what Fedorists do not get. Could he cut to LHW??? MAYBE, big MAYBE but he would lose his advantages that he had at HW. Same with Cain...could he cut to LHW?? Maybe, but he would lose advantages he had as welll.

Fedor was like 230 and around 15-17% body fat. He could of easily cut to 205 in his earlier days and would have been around 215 pre cut, but why bother when you are the heavyweight champ of the world?

I agree that 185lbs when he was in his prime would have been too low. He was too wide and muscular. Fedor was a powerful dude once, he tossed around heavyweights like nothing.

Now I think he could make 185lbs, not that I think he should.

Jeff gets tagged by a natural LHW Trump supporter. Probably an uncle of Rich Benjamin Franklin.

That's why his the GOAT.

Why cuz he's fat and undersized? Cuz he beat Zulu? What makes him the goat??

Dude absolutely failed fighting in North America, in organizations with more strict drug testing then he was used to, in organizations where they didn't throw fights, against even mediocre competition. Pride fans used to call Wand the lhw goat, gomi the lw goat. Lol. Pride sucked. There are no goats coming out of that promotion bruh. Sorry.

Open Weight

 

[Seaside]

based on his height, reach, frame size, waist etc. dude is a legit MW.. If he was not a muscular and starved himself and on that juice he could of been a huge WW and shredded.

But MW is what he is. maybe he could of been mid size LHW but on shorter side.

He was a tiny HW. Yeah cain and JDS are in the 240lb range as is Stipe but they all much taller, more muscle mass and carry it better (except cain). Fedor also was always in 230 to 238lb range or so. JDS meanwhile is 6´4 and 245lb and lean.

Fedor next to WW Douglas Lima..

It's called foreground and background dummy Fedor was a smaller HW, but all that these photos prove is that people can look bigger depending on the angle of the camera.

Strikeforce and Affliction had the same standards for testing as the UFC did at the time.

Well of course if you have a revisionist memory and compare the such fighters to what they look like today. Gomi was #1 at one point and so was Wand.

Fedor next to WW Douglas Lima..

To be fair Lima is wearing a suit which makes him more dense looking. Fedor is wearing fitted, lightweight clothes.

 

[Summoning]

Fedor next to Today LHW standard.
