Prime Fedor beats everyone

I love how UFC D riders are out trying to discredit (and failing again) Fedor. Zombie Nog won the ufc title, Timmy had the best ufc hw title reign until he was surpassed by geriatric only killer Stipe (who never beat a ranked opponent in their prime ever!), and an organization that surrendered its titles to pride, strike force, ksw, cage rage, wec and even WWE (brock hahaha) imports when their talent came over and currently has AA winning, and Chuck Liddells actual training partner from three decades ago as its number one ranked LHW hahhaha


Fedors reign ended in 2008 but he lives rent free in these guys head till today


"UFC D riders"


Dude, what fantasy world do you live in???


Most people don't give a fuck anout mma or that goofy Japanese circus that folded its tents like decade and a half aego.


Nog won an interim belt he had no business fighting for. Mir had already beaten Sylvia, was off a win, and never lost the title

He killed Nog in Nog's next fight.

Great example here’s another fact to that long list I mentioned earlier. Mir after beating Nog got finished by Fedor lol

Absolutely.


Thereby diminishing Nog's legacy further lol.


Meathead killed Fedor and he needed a Russian robbery to beat Maldo lol

Yup making ufc hw division look even shittier. Keep at it man maybe in ten years one of these Greg Hardy and AA types will dethrone Fedor as hw goat and you will find peace
 
He only started to win cause he was facing Japanese cans Adesanya has over 75 Kickboxing bouts and the morons use it as an excuse so that means izzy hasn’t been in his prime since 2017 so what’s cro cop’s excuse again?
Same Japense cans that Anderson Silva in his prime ran through before embarking on the greatest run in UFC history?oh no he was actually getting subbed by flying shit from said Japanese cans.
 
Fedor has nowhere near the frequency of cans on his record during his streak that Travis Fulton has. Guys like Heath Herring, Kosaka, Fujita, Arona, Sobral, Goodridge, and Schilt were all game. Travis Fulton has entire win streaks made up of opponents with either no wins EVER in their careers, guys that fought only twice, or guys that won 10% of their fights. Without even looking into it further than I already have, I'd bet you most of his opponents were pulled straight out of the crowd or never trained a day in their life.

As I admitted, you have a fair and respectable point about Fedor having guys on his record who aren't top guys, but seriously attempting to compare Fedor's caliber of opponents to Travis Fulton's might be the most ridiculous thing I have ever read on Sherdog, and you and I have both been on here for quite a while.

I'm not comparing their opponents and saying that they're equal. I'm using Fulton's three crazy ass win streaks as an example of how and why streaks like that are possible. Fulton has some guys in those streaks with fairly decent records, but the majority are shit. Saying Goodridge was "game" is a stretch. He was 17-13-1 going into the Fedor fight, and coming off a win over Lloyd Van Dams, who was 0-0 in MMA - making his debut. Arona was 2-0 when he fought Fedor. Somebody else listed all the atrocious records of the guys he fought during this "legendary" streak. It's sad. He should've been fighting top 5 guys for 8 out of those 10 years, and he barely fought top 10. It's ok. He's still a great fighter, no doubt, just take it for what it is. Don't be dishonest or exaggerate it. Cro Cop is my favorite fighter, and the dude has a resume full of garbage too. It is what it is, man.

Here's that list I mentioned:

martin lazarov (0-2)
levon lagilava (1-3)
hiroya takada (1-3)
mihail apostolov (0-1)
ryushi yanagisawa (24-25)
lee hasdell (9-14)
chris haseman (20-17)
gary goodridge (23-22)
yuji nagata (0-2)
naoya ogawa (7-2)
zulu (9-9)
hong man choi (4-5)
jaideep singh (2-3)

This looks like their overall career records, but you still get the point, I'm sure. He fought fucking Valavicious, Fujita, Goodridge, and Nagata all in a row after winning the PRIDE HW title. Shit's weak, my dude. Of course his record/streak is going to look good when it's padded as fuck. That's literally how padding your record works.
 
Hendo was on Testosterone Roiding Therapy.

he went 3-6 after he stopped using it including the only 3 knockout losses of his career. Almost got chinned by Lombard and Shogun in the rematch multiple times too.



TRT Hendo VS deflated post TRT ban Hendo


"3-6 after he stopped using"

I'll assume its the last 9 fights of his career then.

A SD to Rashad who was 2 fights removed from fighting for the title.

The first of those 3 ko's occurred 2.5 years after Fedor and when Dan was 43. KO'd for the first time---at 43---by a a SAVAGE.
The Lombard fight ended in a violent KO win (as did the Shogun rematch) when he was 2 months shy of 46. Fedor's not even that old NOW and has been shit for over a decade.

Guy lost a disputed decision for the title at 46 and you think it was because he was off the magical, NSAC-approved TRT. FFS is he sipposed to be a champ-caliber fighter til he's 60???



Going 3-6 well into your 40s with losses to the likes of Belfort, Moose, DC, Rashad and a disputed loss for the belt is not indicative of his need for TRT.

Maybe he finally got old...


Maybe Fedor's just grossly overrated.
 
Yup making ufc hw division look even shittier. Keep at it man maybe in ten years one of these Greg Hardy and AA types will dethrone Fedor as hw goat and you will find peace


I genuinely care about "the UFC HW division"


I go to parties and try to convince people to stop watching Pride aDVDs.


Quit fantasizing, nerd
 
I would make Fedor a favorite against any HW MMA fighter ever in history. Would he beat them all 100% of the time? Probably not. But he would win more times than he'd lose.

And don't give me this shit how MMA has "evolved" since Fedor's days. Most of the current HWs are dudes who've trained for like 4 years and just go out there and throw bombs. Hell, 40 year old Reem (60 in fight years) was/is still top 10 and Fedor would wreck him.

Current UFC HW - You going to say these guys are more advanced that the likes of Fedor, CroCop, Nog, Sergei, Barnett? Even old timers like Igor and Randleman would do wel against today's HW.

Champ:

Almost there good sir.

Now just admit you don’t support the sport or the HW division, you just keep appearing in every HW GOAT (and we all know there’s only one GOAT:Fedor) thread to bad mouth Fedor cause he _____________ you.
Please fill in the blanks above, so we can get some idea about the root cause of your problems. And saying it’s the annoying Fedor fans that made me hate the guy is a valid response.

If you look at the LHW division it’s worse. A 40 year old KSW has been is champ and the number one ranked guy was actually Chuck fucking Liddells training partner three decades ago!

lol - very true. I don't get it how so many sports evolved and athletes go so much better....NFL, NBA, etc. guys ....but with MMA for some reason some of the weight classes are worse off. Ricardo Arona would probably dominate the UFC LHW division. We'd all be bored watching him but still.
 
Nope.

During the Pride era, most of the top guys had to endure the occasional freakshow matches. It was a requisite during that time period and doesn’t diminish their accomplishments.

As for “it’s easy to go undefeated for 10 years” is baloney. I’ve lived and watched mma consistently through the 90’s and 2000’s and no one showed that level of consistency with their victories at the highest level other than Anderson Silva and even Anderson was submitted before he made his way to the UFC. Mma was still in its evolutionary phase during that period and anyone finding consistent success like that against a multitude of styles was unheard of.
I'll take what is Sambo for 500 please. If anything, others were at a severe disadvantage facing someone with a Sambo background like Fedor in the early 2000s.
 
Sea level Cain would fuck Fedor's shit up, just don't expect him to win the rematch in the Dagestani Mountains
 
Come on man...are you really that dumb?

Fedor had like 40 MMA fights and hundreds of Sambo matches by this time already.

Don’t be such a goof, there are plenty of goofs on here already. Try something different.

I am sorry for being dumb, or a goof, as you say, for throwing a question out there.

I won't get in to rhetoric with someone of your intelligence.

Lastly, Fedor is top 3 GOAT in my humble opinion. I would rather not say who I think is the other top 2 GOAT's simply because I don't want my opinion get in the way of a guy like you.
