Of course it was false.
Fedor had already had a very long career when he started losing. How long is he supposed to keep that up?? How long is anyone?
Someone goes 10 yrs undefeated,and the jig is up because he cant go 20? Away and bow your head.
If no one knows who Fedor is then why is he winning the fuckin poll over GSP?
Just another noob who doesnt want to have respect for things he wasnt around for,and dont know nothing about and can only cite a jilted lover to back up his limp wristed claims.
He was 32 years old and exactly 10 yrs and 1 month as a professional when he lost to werdum.
Everybody as far back as 07-08 were saying hevwas washed, not the same etc
That would make him roughly 29 when he fought guys like lindland and there were rumbles then.
And yes, like I said this is a mma site and people know him.. I would almost guarantee you that more people would know Anderson Silva or gsp in Russia than people in North America know fedor!Fedor!! Of course you'll say no!! But it's true.
Icon is someone that stands out and his 5 yrs of standing out pales in comparison to a Silva or gsp.
Pride was done in 2006, he didn't even debut until 2002, he fought 14 times in pride going 13-0-1
Then all of a sudden he is washed and can't fight for shit anymore. Oh yeah because he became Christian!! Lol
Tim was a washout and even 44 yr old randy dropped him, everyone was koing Andre at that time and let's not even talk about lindland or hangman.
Goes to strike force and goes 1-3 and was getting smashed by Roger's until the hailmary haymaker.
Then get beat 3 times in a row. The money strikforce was paying him it's a wonder why they had to sell.
If you look at it a lot of that 13-0-1 record is filled with filler fights and easy outs like Zulu and whether you like to hear this or not mark Coleman.
The only good wins on that pride resume is big nog and cro cop who he never rematched.
I was a fan back then too just like I am today I'm not some snot nosed kid who just started watching and going over wiki, I lived through these eras and watched it all in real time
