How do you rate Fedor's Ground Game?

[thobra]

Khabib is the closest thing. Does not have the same credentials as Fedor, but still the closest thing.

TS you Forgot to mention the way he was dominated destroyed and Stopped by fucking Big Foot Silva

 

[Lemmy Caution]

That "Feedor" clown got submitted and tagged up on the ground many times during his lackluster career. Nothing memorable about his "ground game," mainly because he didn't have one.

Right, nothing memorable about this.

Watched the Hendo fight recently and also the Werdum one. Fedor knocked them both to the ground and attempted a ground and pound but instead got smacked up with Hendo and submitted against Werdum. In the Hendo fight he didn't even seem to realise that Hendo was attempting a pass. In the Werdum fight he didn't seem to notice he was about to get his arm locked up. So is this just one offs or does Fedor not have a great ground game?

now go watch his fights from 2000-2006. including his bouts with Nog, who was considered the most dominant ground fighter of the time.

seriously man, watching a few Wizards games with Michael Jordan doesn't tell you much about Michael Jordan.

magnificent,the best ever till he started losing. Literally GOD

It used to be very good until he completely abandoned it late in his career and turned into a sloppy brawler standup only fighter.

 

[wrestlefan]

Terribly overrated ground game. The only people he ever submitted off his back had zero idea about submission defense. Also look what Bigfoot and Hendo did to him on the ground, not to mention getting pounded out by that tyre changer guy.

His armbar against Coleman was wicked. Only other person to ever sub Coleman from the bottom was prime Nog.

I'd argue that Fedor's ground game is possibly better than Sage Northcutt's.

This. He used to have absolutely terrifying ground n pound, with great submissions, both from his back and from top. Then he seemed to fall in love with trying to just decapitate people instead.

 

[MescalineDreams]

is this a serious thread? holy shit.

Fedor's ground game is a combination of jiu jitsu, judo, and sambo. He has a very unique grappling repertoire compared with the average BJJ black belt.

Werdum is a world class grappler, one of the best In the world.

I personally think Fedor started to slip after he turned 32 or so..he didn't have the same fire, passion, motivation to perform at his very best as he had earlier In his career.

Coleman had zero sub defense his entire career. Terrible example.

So is this just one offs or does Fedor not have a great ground game?

Watch the first Nogueira fight. He is active, willing to pound the most feared guard in heavyweight at the time and able to scramble when off his back. The Werdum and Hendo fights is the past prime Fedor. His set ups in the striking are also non existent at this stage, just swings.
