Media Fedor: The Sound of SPEED - Referee camera

[Ludwig von Mises]

Referee cam hits different. The speed in this footage is truly something to behold. I don't know if there will ever be anyone faster than this. Def not at HW.

The SOUND on some those shots, the speed on some those shots, the speed on some of those transitions in this footage is simply UNREEL.

Fedor's controlled aggression and ferocity were unlike anything this sport has ever seen. Hard to believe this was 20 years ago.

You can hear the crowd react and go "OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH and AAAAAHHHHHH" like they're watching an apex predator hunting it's pray. Incredible footage.

Man was he fast and man was Minotauro tough. Most guys would have been absolutely melted by some of those shots. Enjoy brothers.

Was thinking this recently when i rewatched Fedor vs Heath Herring, faster then any LHW today and the fastest Heavyweight I've seen in his prime, the way he leaped in and out of his opponents guard for GnP and threw his overhand right and sweeping hooks to get to the clinch for a trip or toss was terrifying

[Takes Two To Tango]

Fedor is the fastest HW ever. At his prime he was incredibly explosive.

 

[Fox by the Sea]

Best to ever do it.

 

[Leinster Rugby]

All hail Fedor the undisputed HW GOAT.

F the haters F the doubters.

Nobody comes close at HW.

Keep it all in its generational perspective. Minotauro, even in his prime, was a walking zombie. And basically a pure jiu jitsu fighter. Not that hard for someone who is leagues more athletic than he is to look good against him. Fedor could not get away with that striking technique against guys like Jones, Pereira, Aspinall, Stipe, Gane, Ngannou, Velasquez, Cormier. Even Izzy would probably eff Fedor up. We saw when his speed & explosivity degraded with age he got exposed by guys like Maldonado. Take off the fanboy glasses.

You sound like one of those guys who says Ali couldn’t hang with modern boxers or Pele with modern footballers.

I think Alexander was even faster. At least with his hands.

Hands yes, transitions no.

It's criminal that the UFC doesn't have PRIDE ref cams.

It's criminal that the UFC doesn't have PRIDE ref cams.

Not sure why they don't esp with today's camera quality.

 

[Greyscale]

Well, many fighters look surprisingly fast and strong before moving to a sanctioned jurisdiction with PED testing where a sudden decline happens. Given Fedor's history of corruption, Russian sports' track record and his close ties with Russian government, I wouldn't say that he was above juicing. That may help explain his sudden "decline" and the fact that there are only 3 or 5 fights worth remembering in his 23-year career.

They have them in PFL and compared to HD normal cameras it sucks.

In terms of overall speed in all aspects Fedor is the fastest.

Don't get me wrong Alexander has fast hands, probably faster than Fedor. But there is no HW as well rounded and explosive as Fedor overall.

 

[Natural Order]

HW MMA is evolving.



FeGOAT bless.

Hey, you understand that aging fighters lose speed and its common that speed and reflexes are the first thing to go. Good job.

That barely missed facestomp at 0:14
Yikes, can you imagine that landing?

Or....
In his prime, he had some of the best boxing at heavyweight...
