Prime Fedor Emelianenko vs. Stipe Miocic

[Summoning]

Oh, I'm sorry. 33 is ancient.

Dude, Prime is not about age,.. is about years in the sport, fights, injuries and others factors.

Strikeforce Fedor has already 32 profesional MMA fights, and a decade of Sambo tournaments, also a broken hand.

Zero fucks given. All UFC HW champions

You are forgetting that to a UFC noob...UFC = MMA and nothing else. They literally cannot see the images you just posted.

 

[bhp02]

fedor fans again win another belt even though fedor has not even fought

Common fucking sense. Gotta love it. Anybody who couldn't see that Fedor had slowed down even in his affliction fights needs to get checked for glaucoma and have the UFC cock pulled out of their ass

-Of course I deny that Fedor is a wild haymaker swinger with telegraphed punches.

-I just didn't bother posting the evidence because you're an idiot and wouldn't understand anything about it because he doesn't use standard western boxing.

-You're the same type of idiot that would say Igor Vovchanchyn had terrible striking.

-He actually won his first several fights on U.S. soil.

-It's not hype when you've won 27 fights in a row, mostly by first round finish in straight up embarrassing fashion... and didnt lose a single round doing it.

Who did he win 27 fights in a row against? Out of all those 27 probably 2 or 3 at most where credible opponents. I know everything about fedor i watched almost all of his fights back in the day. He is overrated. Couldnt beat his 3 best opponents. He is good, hes not a bum, but hes massively overrated.

 

[Fuzzybabyducks]

Fedor in his prime probably would have beat Stipe.. Stipe would beat him now hands down. Maybe we should wait and see hows Stipe career plays out before having threads like these

 

[MysticCam]

lol

The fact that Stipe Miocic is dominating speaks volumes of the current HW division.

Seriously, when you go from this

to this:

You know a division has regressed by leaps and bounds.

Fedor would beat him...in the stand-up.

I like Stipe. I've cheered for him in most of his fights, but....lol

3 gifs can prove how good a whole division is? Lol good ol sherdog

You say you know everything about Fedor and have watched all of his fights..... then you ask who's he beaten.

You sound like an educated fan.

 

[MuayThaiBX]

Sherdog is always going to be very pro-Fedor. It's HW so either could win by KO. Toss up IMO. I do think that Fedor's competition in his prime is overrated though.

 

[Ryanr1987]

"Back then". Noobs think Fedor fought in the fifties.

MMA is a fast growing sport. There's been many changes including styles, approach and organisations.

Of course I'm going to say back then..it's 2016, the landscape is different..think before you post lad, even better learn to actually have a conversation and not sound like a red neck with no social skills.

 

[Helden]

Stipe is big and tough

But Fedor has way too many tools for Stipe to deal with

 

[mjfan23]

Stipe just tied brock handy and Timmy for UFC heavy weight title defenses that is a very elite company.

Shhhh you'll hurt the noobs' feelings.

People truly don't understand how great Fedor was. And anyone that goes off of fight finder to put him down weren't actually MMA fans during Fedor's amazing unbeaten streak. You had to have actually seen it live as it was happening to really feel and understand the greatness, and GOATness.

 

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

Listen here you little bitch, saying fedor was still young against werdum isn't hating on him. I picked him in the poll. He's one of my favorite fighters.
Quit being such a defensive pussy.

Its not as simple as just age though. He had 10 years and 32 fights on the clock when he lost to Werdum. Thats a fair bit of mileage.

 

[Melas Chasma]

only a casual fan would call any fighter unbeatable. thats a pro wrestling mentality, far removed from anything martial arts related.

the truth is, he has nothing for stipe, even in his prime. cant strike with stipe, cant take him down, cant beat him on the ground even if he gets there.

Looks like you just admitted you are a casual fan with a pro wrestling mentality, by your own criteria.

 

[SMEGMA]

I wonder how Stipe would do against Dan Henderson?

 

[SMEGMA]

When was prime fedor again? Was it when he was crushing tim Sylvia, Matt Lindland, Zulu, Ogawa, Coleman, or kohsaka. Just need clarification

He was out of his prime the millisecond that he lost, just like Cro Cop.

 

[SMEGMA]

He's on a pretty serious win streak right now as well. Fedor is back

He got KO'd in his last fight and got awarded the W through blatant corruption and has fought nothing but cans for years. Of course he's on a win streak.

 

[tenniswhiz]

Honestly, I think prime JDS and Cain are much more difficult and dangerous matchups for Fedor.

Even in terms of pure abilities, I wouldn't rate Stipe as one of the top 5 HW of all time.
