Just rewatched Fedor versus Werdum

[Dana_is_your_GOD]

Fedor catches Werdum at 4:33. He could have let Werdum get up, and repeated his onslaught again until Werdum was really out, but he fell into the Werdum trap of wer-doom. Credit to Werdum, he has been a UFC HeavyWeight champ. He's only lost to the best in the world.

A lesser grappler would have been finished, but Werdum was arguable THE BEST GRAPPLER IN THE WORLD at the time, based on ADCC performance.

The point I'm making is that this was the end of Fedor's reign. Fedor may have lost the will after this, or this may have been the end of his prime. Different fighers have different lifespans when it comes to being in their prime. He may have also slacked off training and started swiggin on some vodka.

He's still the GOAT.

• He could have beaten Werdum.
• Werdum is an awesome fighter, Top 5 Heavy Weight all time.
• Fedor's prime ended around this time.
• Fedor always came with 100% intensity, never ran, never backed down from a position like Conor or Runereem.
• Was brave enough to fight the GOAT grappler at his own game and lost.

Even before this fight Fedor had been slipping. It just finally caught up to him here.

 

[Legendary]

Fedor is the GOAT, do we really need to compare him to Jon "Limp" Bones or Anderson "Cialis" Silva?

Really the true argument is between him and GSP.

 

[Danespina]

Werdum was nearing Heavyweight GOAT status after he beat Cain Velasquez. Wasin't to be though.

Exactly. The fact he, is COULD have beat Werdum if he wasn't so aggressive. But his aggressiveness grants him GOAT status, because he never ran or backed down.

Aldo could have beat McGregor if he didn't get punched. Aldo GOAT

It was gods will that Fedor lost, nothing more nothing less.

 

[KONE]

I'm not so sure that Fedor actually hurt Werdum. Looks like Werdum is doing his usual "get touched anywhere and pull guard" routine. He does it against everyone, even against Browne. Still no shame at all about getting caught by Werdum, or losing to TRT Bigfoot/Hendo for that matter.

Believing in God s even more laughable then believing Fedor is the GOAT.

He definetly caught him, brah. To the untrained eye it doesn't look like much, but he did catch him.

It looks like the third left hook touches him fairly well.

Fedor was passing the torch. Werdum is just sneaky enough to beat Cain, although I think Cain is better overall.

Maybe. I can't see Fedor's left hand clearly from any videos or gifs, which would've HAD to be the punch that dropped him.

Also top lel at Werdum's striking. Holy fuck he's come a long way.

Really the true argument is between him and GSP.

Aldo is tied with GSP in title defenses and is back to the top, with only 30 years old. Never popped and didn´t "retire" when USADA came in like GSP.

He's not the GOAT and never will be kid

 

[Brock Tober]

He's not the GOAT and never will be kid

So who is?
