Media Fedor named most padded record by MMA on Point!

NoBiasJustMMA said:
Apparently you can't even read because I didn't say anything about his level of competition. Everyone in the 2000-2008 era fought a bunch of "cans", some top level fighters even lost to them like Couture, Anderson Silva and GSP.

You weren't watching MMA at the time so you don't know this. Why are you so confident in your opinion while being so ignorant on the topic?

Wrong, champs weren't all fighting cans, especially not freak show fights like fedor had. Silva never fought a midget, gsp didnt fight andre the giant....but Fedor had by far the most freakshow fights maybe tied with Bob Sapp.

Tell me more about how high level Zulu and That giant asian dude are who he fought IN HIS PRIME. Thats the point, he had these fights in his prime. Everyone else was padding their records before they were champs or considered greats. Fedor was doing it WHILE he was on his run...which is lame

Bro Hong Man Choi was 9-2 in K1 (beat Semmy Schilt) at the time with his only loses being Jerome Lebanner and Remy fuckin bonjasky. He was 1-0 in MMA and 7 ft 2 350lbs.... Nobody in the UFC would take a fight like that it's a lose/lose situation. Zuluzinho was 5-0-1 in MMA with all his wins by TKO/KO and his dad was a legendary Vale Tudo fighter. He was 6'7" 400lbs, again a fight no one in their right mind would take as it was a lose/lose situation again. Fedor gave no fucks and took on all challengers. Stipe could never.

The UFC champions were fighting cans all the time at HW and LHW between 2000-2007 cause almost all of the best fighters in those divisions were in Pride.

This quote applies perfectly to you.

"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt."

They aren't padded wins if the fights are competitive which they were. Fedor was fed freak show fights while he was considered a great. (just watch the video) Tim Sylvia didn't fight an 8' tall asian with a disability while he was champ.

No actual HW athlete would actually be intimidated by those 2, Zulu fought a guy who weight 170 lbs...or was that after the fedor fight? Either way its clear those fights were all padding and if you really want to try and make out zulu and Choi as top level athletes than all you are doing is diminishing Prides talent pool.
 
While this is true you can't fault the guy as he was just fighting who was put in front of him in Pride. There were a lot of filler fights, but there were also some quality opponents in there. My criticism is that he didn't go over to the UFC. Yeah he fought top guys in Affliction and Strikeforce, but there were also Top fighters and future top fighters that would have looked better in the long run.

People say that all of the top HW's were in Strikeforce, but that's not necessarily true. The UFC had top HW's too. Cain, Mir, JDS, Couture, Brock, and Carwin were all fights that could have been made. Cro Cop and Nog were there as well. I blame Vadim. He never had Fedor's best interest and in the long run hurt him legacy wise and financially.

Even though I consider Fedor the HW goat he was always a beatable fighter and I think Stipe, DC, and Cain all had the tools to beat him Prime for Prime. Fedor's style was also more effective in a ring vs a cage as well.
 
He does have a more padded record than Jones/GSP/Anderson but not as much as Khabib. Over half of Khabibs wins come from his pre-UFC days beating regional level competition with many of them having losing records or making their debuts at the time.

So when the UFC guys fought cans it didn't count cause the fights were competitive or they lost and Fedor's do count cause he smashed them? That makes no sense.

Tim Sylvia defended his belt against Gan McGee, Tra Telligman and Assuerio Silva, seriously just stop digging the hole you're in, you have no clue what you are talking about.

This.

Looks like a couple of soy boys watched a few mma videos and decided to start a YouTube channel.

Im not even much of a Fedor fan, but man all these newbs who try to dismiss his greatness look so sad and petty, I can’t help but feel like there’s some serious issues at home and in their personal lives.
 
His record has padding but there is no possible way he has the most padded record in MMA, have you heard of Bas Rutten? He also has more quality wins than perhaps any other HW in history.

That was way after the fedor fight. Zulu's first two fights in pride were Fedor and Nogueira ffs. No HW would be intimidated by an undefeated fighter that weighs over 150 lbs more? Pride was testing the David vs Goliath theory long before anyone else.
 
A lot of people focus too much on PRIDE freak show fights between big fights. But he fought approximately as many top opponents, at least 1 per year, as any top HW. The fact that he was really active instead of taking 9 months off after every fight only adds to his record.

He might not have the depth of GSP's resume but you have to consider that he fought in the heaviest division.
 
Pride fed their big fighters the so called “cans”, to keep them active, without the risk of loss, injury or worse...
