Not long ago I posted a thread with a small segment of this interview where Fddor told the interviewer that he's not even half of what he used to be in terms of training intensity and athleticism and that he's not the Fedor he was at 25, 30 of even 35 years old. Here is the full interview.
Cliffs:
-Willing to fight Werdum but it seems that Werdum and Bellator are unable to come to terms
-Says he's open to fighting Reem, JDS, Werdum or Barnett but ultimately Bellator will decide who he fights.
-Says his fight with Maldonado was a great fight.
-Says he watched his fight with Mitrione and concluded it was a freak accident. In his opinion he measured Mitrione well and felt like Mitrione didn't have him as measured and was just pawing at Fedor but happened to land head on.
-Says he likes Jon Jones and that Jon Jones has always been very kind to him and that he considers Jones a legend.
-Says the only thing he watches on TV are cartoons lol
-Says he would love to box Roy Jones and other famous boxers but absolutely refuses to box / fight any bloggers or recording artists. He says that pro fighters should only fight pro fighters and that he can't stand the Mayweather- Jake Paul style freakshows.
- Says that he remembers when Khabib was yelling instructions to him during the Maldonado fight but didn't hear it because he only listens to his corner but is still appreciative of Khabib.
-Says that he isn't "fighting for money" but then says he's financially motivated to continue fighting at this age because he knows he won't earn this much doing anything else.
-Says he will fight once or twice more at most because he knows he's getting old and there is lots of pressure on him from his family to retire.
-Says that he was betrayed by his "fake friends" after he started losing
-Says he's nervous about fighting in Russia because of the pressure to perform well for the Russian fans but loves the challenge
Anyways it's kind of sad seeing this. Fedor is definitely fighting because he needs the money. I think he really needs a financial advisor. He could easily use his name and have a YouTube channel where he shows techniques and breaks down fights and current events in the fight world the same was Chael Sonnen does. Sonnen has 854K subscribers on YT and easily makes close to a million dollars per year from just YouTube. Fedor could do the same if not better but perhaps he's too modest to put himself out there like that. In any case it sucks that he got so bamboozled and taken for millions by Vadim and his ex wife that he must still fight at 45 years old and continue to go out there and get hit in the head and risk getting CTE. Hopefully he doesn't take too much damage in his next fights and can retire healthy.
God bless the GOAT.
