Media Fedor named most padded record by MMA on Point!

[GangGangGang]

Whether a record was padded in between tough competition or leading up to tough competition, Emelianenko's was less padded than Nurmagomedov's.

Avoiding thr question at all costs I see.. Nearly every mma fighter has a padded record before the make it to the big leagues. Bring percentages into it all you want. In Fedors 45 fights he only fought 6 different top 5 HWs.

Do you remember a poor mans Semmy Schilt knocking out the current HW champion in his prime? How about a pudgy 5’8 wrestler?

Your point is?

Struve would have beaten Schilt in the first round. Schilt was never a good MMA fighter, but great kickboxer.

Stop.

We've all seen the GIFs.

Struve was 8-3 with 3 straight finishes in the UFC.

Fedor got mopped in 3 straight and is still pluggin away 10 years later lol.

Did beat Coleman teice tho.

Cool GIF again. Great win for Struve. Shit happens in sanctioned fights.

Ask Fedor

What exactly was "his era"

Vecause he's still fighting 10 years after going to shit, ducked the UFC , and left many big fights on the table (Barnett, Reem, Brock, Carwin etc)

Yawn same old tired, false hater points. Barnett pissed hot and destroyed an entire org by getting their fight cancelled. The ufc never at any point had the best hw division until they absorbed strikeforce.

Where Fedor had already been fighting. He was very noticeably slowing down by the arlovski fight, and didn't look great against rogers either. Only mma fans seem to think your athletic prime lasts until you're 35 or 40.

Across all of the rest of athletics it's widely accepted that athletic prime lasts until around 30, at best. The fact that the old guard is still fighting and still ranked into their late 30s and early 40s isn't a sign all those guys are still in their prime. It's a sign that mma doesn't attract talented big men because the pay is shitty so there are a lot of better options.

LMAO, Schlit was a top 10 HW and I think at one point top 5, he also started MMA before kickboxing and would have kicked the shit out of Struve.

YOU ARE COMPAIRING ZULU TO DC?!?!?! HAHAHAHHAHAHAH OR DO YOU PREFER JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA.....EITHER WAY YOU STILL LOOK LIKE A FOOL

LOL what? Zulu to DC? When did I make that comparison? Imagine being this triggered.


Take a breather and eat a couple soy based snacks buddy, your emotions are getting the best of you.

 

[Mike]

I dont remember tim sylvia fighting someone who is morbidly obese ...or an 8' tall cripple.

No he was fighting legends like cabbage or gan mcgee. The UFC's he division sucked back then. That's not really debatable. Most of the top hws were in pride until the late 2000s

 

[Superman Elbow]

YOU TRIED COMPARING STIPES LOSSES VS DC AND STRUVE TO FEDORS FIGHTS AGAINST LITERAL FREAKS...IT DOES NOT COMPARE.

THE ONLY REASON IM TYPING LIKE THIS IS I THOUGHT IT WAS YOUR PREFERED METHOD OF COMMUNICATION. ALL CAPS AND BOLD. DID I GET THE WRONG HINT?

looks like Big Country's nerdy little brother

but it was competitive for the most part. Those fights were no where near as mismatched as some of fedors.

Reported the video to YT for hate speech. Let’s see if they evenly enforce their terms and conditions.

 

[NoBiasJustMMA]

This is the second time you have said that and it still doesn't make sense. Fedor fighting cans is worse than other people fighting cans because Fedor crushed them and the other people didn't. Please explain how that makes any sense.

 

[Huligani]

It obviously is extremely padded, he fought a lot of total cans hence why he was unbeaten for so long but only had like 3 title fights during that time.

 

[OrigFan255]

Attribute that quote to an actual person and then that person will have to explain his ludicrous opinion.

Don’t hide behind a generalized term like many media outlets do.
Vogue magazine says, China says......... Write down the name of the person who made that statement.

Just like the one guy who didn’t want to vote Mariano Rivera into HOF

Just for reference, here are the 9 others.

10. Gilbert Melendez 13 fight streak
9. Chuck Liddell
8. Ben Askren
7. Jon Jones Current Streak
6. Rich Franklin 14 fight win streak
5. Matt Hughes
4. Cro Cop
3. Wanderlei Silva
2. Shinya Aoki
1. Fedor

This list really is full of shit for the reason that it compares today's standards of MMA vs the standards of 15-20 years ago. Also, it look at mma in other countries like Japan that has a different mma system and other organizations that just have lesser comp, can you really blame Askren for fighting who he did?? Furthermore, it look at fighters like Rich Franklin, Matt Hughes, Cro Cop at the beginning of their careers. Everyone pretty much fights lesser comp early on. Also, the only reason Jones is on there cause of one fight with Chael?? But aside from that it's been all top fighters.

The issue with Fedor when talking about his 27 fight win streak is that yes, it is padded in some fights. However, Fedor fought far more often than any fighters today, like I said, this is being compared to today's mma standards. Look at his fights per year...averages to 3 fights per year. Yes, from 2006 to 2009 his fights per year fell through, but that was because of not being signed to a consistent organization. From 07 to 09 he went from Bodog to Yarenoka to Affliction to SF. When is in one place, he's active.

2001 - 5 fights
2002 - 3 fights
2003 - 5 figths
2004 - 4 fights
2005 - 3 fights
2006 - 2 fights
2007 - 2 fights
2008 - 1 fights
2009 - 2 fights

 

[WalkenWouldOwn]

Me laughing at retards who get their entire worldview from shit-tier blogs.

Hey buddy, you are missed in the War room!

Good post though, imagine thinking this video was threadworthy lmao

 

[Fioretti]

Wow this guy brain dead. Comparing Fedor to Fulton is comparing normal human being to this guy. You still a legend, no doubt.

It's quite a relevant topic, fella. Fulton has an outrageous amount of wins and incredible win streaks, they're just against no name guys in minor leagues. Very comparable to a 5-2 Hunt, the Zulus, Hong Man Chois, and a few others on Fedor's resume. As someone pointed out earlier, more than half of Fedor's 25+ win streak was padded with guys like this. That is the epitome of a "padded record", which is the topic of discussion. Fulton gets no love for his streaks, despite it also being mostly at HW, while Fedor gets too much love and praise.

Sorry it hurts your feelings, buddeh.

 

[swarrrm]

I hate the TMZ direction the UFC has taken in recent years.

 

[Wand claude van-damme]

but it was competitive for the most part. Those fights were no where near as mismatched as some of fedors.

Yeah because it's against a weak champ like Sylvia. Fedor would've made it look like just as big a mismatch if he fought cabbage or McGee he would destroy those UFC HW cans just as easy as he did the "freaks" in Pride or Tim Sylvia so whats the difference?

Good post to add a bit of context, but fighting more frequently against lesser competition is what makes a padded record padded, my dude.
