Fedor vs Maldonado NOT overturned

[Rogerdraven]

The MMA Union in Russia and EFN did not overturn the decision. A bunch of "MMA reporters" jumped the gun and everyone changed their fight finders without checking their facts. EFN even said they won't change the decision unless the MMA Union informs them to do so. Sherdog has fixed their mistake as well.

I was surprised how fast sherdog changed it to a draw and other mma reporters reported it, like almost right after it was posted on sherdog here. Which strehgthens my belief that most mma "reporters" get their mma news and article ideas from sherdog forums. I've also seen a lot of "articles" even on the sherdog frontpage that were basically repeats of threads created by sherdoggers

Yeah, I think you are 100% correct. It's pretty pathetic.

The result doesn't change what happened in the fight. If you think it was definitely a draw, then why does some random guys in an office deciding it was a draw make a difference?

Honestly the fight should have been a draw. Fedor wasn't just nearly finished, he was continuously near-finished for almost the entirety of the round. If he recovered and finished the round normal, then it'd probably be 10-9, but I mean he was fucking spitting out his mouthpiece and everything just to see the bell. He even had assistance from the ref. How is it NOT a 10-8?

That's the real and legitimate result. It's the consequence of training with bums and training like a bum. Fedor actively turned down a Holland camp, what was the reason? Lack of care, or because he's just so obsessed with his scrubby team he can't bear to leave them behind in Russia for even a second? Can't he take the scrubs out to Holland with him?

Fedor is old now and there's been no reason to think he's started taking TRT or other hormones, he probably can't train the way he used to without getting injured.

Inside MMA just reported that the dec. was overturned on their Television show on AXS TV.

I don't think anyone expects the MMA Union in Russia to overturn their blatantly corrupt decision. Don't want to upset their boss.

A Russian MMA Union presided by Fedor who hired the judges doesn't overturn his Win ... Shocking!

I do think he won actually. Simply because he kept up the pace and aggression for 2 RDs, when Maldanado slowed. UFC rewards for pushing the pace too. It was close, Maldo returned a lot but Fedor brought more and prolly landed few more by razors edge.

But even if he hadn't won like that, he'd still get the decision almost no matter what.

That's why he didn't go to the ground... too worried about tapping, as long as he could keep standing (and the guys got a chin) it was a guaranteed win in Russia.

Of course it is not overturned.

There bunch of nobody have not the right of overturning a decision. They grand themseleves the right to overturn something theyr have no control over? They are like kids playing.

All I'm saying is, with all the shitty decisions in the MMA world THIS is the one people try to overturn? What the flying fuck?

Because he is the president of the MMA Union in Russia and there is a conflict of interest, because he he hired the judges that worked that event. If they were to do something it should actually be a no contest.

I get that, I really do. I've just seen decisions where one guy shouldn't have gotten a single round, much less the entire fight. So if all they're arguing is that a fight should've been a draw instead of a win because Fedor appointed the judges, it's just hard to care. Maybe I'm just desensitized by horrible judging by now. I understand your point though.

Fedorists rejoice, the legend of Fraudor lives on!

 

[anuscakes]

It got overturned for sure. But since the people who overturned it have no authority in the matter, I turned it back.

 

[Clippy]

According to Fedor's wikipedia page it was a draw due to conflict of interest so that's the be all and end all of it.

Malbababo posted it on his instagram yesterday. Someone should inform hmm

Agreed. If judges scored fights right it would be a 10-8 and a draw.

However we have seen countless rounds in where fighters were dropped or dominated called 10-9 though. This was far from the worst decision out there

This decision was not out of the ordinary because it was actually consistent with judges decisions in MMA so it would be odd if this one (out of all the bad decisions) was overturned.

If they overturned this then what is next? Shogun - Hendo 1 is now a draw (like it should have been originally)?

This is a good one to overturn. Fedor is a well known fighter, probably the best known and most respected fighter outside of the UFC. Setting aside the win based on conflict of interest (and because he pretty clearly didn't win) will have more of an effect than turning over something like Pearson vs Sanchez.

 

[Fullmount Triangle]

The reporter followed up his post saying that WMMAA had no actual authority and Russia was refusing, then highlighting the conflict of interests in WMMAA being headed by Vadim, but evne looking on twitter, you can see how many people read that far. They saw the draw tweet, retweeted it, it got about 250 last time i checked, the next few tweets got 5 and 7. People wrote their stories without reading the entire story.

 

[Klippy]

Nah. It's a draw OP.
