Fedor throwing 3 power shots in 1 sec.

Fedor is a natural heavyweight, he has always been a heavyweight. Just like Mark Hunt they arent tall but they are thick as hell. He could have shredded and fought at middleweight if he wanted to fight outside his natural weight class and lose his advantages such as his speed and athleticism
This
But he was small but that was his advantage .speed
 
The first shot didn't actually landed on Chael's face but bellow it's armpit at full power and made in flinch and open him for that left power bomb that dropped him. That power propagated right through the ribcage/lung/heart lol, scary mofo.

Awesome! and great second post!

<{anton}>
 
The first punch was so quick. I had to watch it many times before I realized Sonnen's head snapped back.

Edit: in fact, the first punch landed almost in the armpit, as noticed by our fellow above us!
 
his style rendered Chael's traditional boxing almost useless. Too many angles, too much explosive power.
 
if fedor shows again those flashes of goatness, he can beat anyone even in 2018

absolutely past his prime, but goats gonna goat
 
Fedor didn't fight the big boys @ HW, Nogueira and Cro Cop were his size, and he ducked all the "big boys". untill he eventually couldn't run away anymore and got smashed.

Rua? You mean Rua who admitted that Silva was by far the most talented guy at Chute Boxe even back then? The same Rua who got embarrassingly finished by Forrest who went on to become champ, and after losing the title faced Anderson and got dominated worse than any fighter ever at the top level? Pride fanboys never give up with their same old narrative. You guys are in your 30s and 40s now and turning into dementia suffering old blokes it's sad.

Lol right, Heath Herring, Sem Schilt, Goodridge, Hunt, Sylvia, Arlovski, Brett Rogers and then later Bigfoot weren't big boys.
 
That's judo. Uchi mata, inner thigh throw.

Works amazing to counter body lock takedowns. He did it to Lindland too.

Sambo/Judo is such a great counter to wrestling, because wrestlers don't expect these types of moves.

Ronda vs Tate, Akiyama vs Schields, Parysian vs Sanchez are all great examples.
 
Yes lets ignore decades of being used to fighting heavyweights vs fighting @ 185. Chael was not, is not and will never be anything other than a MW, even in his prime this was evident when he moved up. Weight stats don't tell the story, fanboys. It was beyond obvious that Fedor was the much bigger and stronger guy in there.

You are aware Chael started his career at LHW right and has many many fights at that weight?

You are also aware in the fight before this he beat Rampage while giving up 15 more pounds than he did to Fedor?

You're also aware I'm sure that Hendo has bounced between MW and HW his entire career and also had the advantage of legally getting his test levels artificially inflated?

Yeah, Chael fought quite a bit at 205
 
Doesn't help that he can throw 3 power shots in one second, when he can't take one weak jab.
