Now days Fedor is known as the old, bald, fat bellied Russian bear and everyone acts like he should be fighting at 205. In reality Fedor used be in insane shape at HW, he was built like a tank. 237lbs with no belly. Insane speed, insane power, great grappling, powerful GnP and an Iron Chin and absolutely fearless.

Fedor looks older but Big Nog of today looks like he could be the grandfather of the Nog from back then.
He was small dude. Shut the fuck upThat's one of the biggest sherdog myths that Fedor never was a real HW. Actually all great HWs competed around 235-245: Werdum, Cain, JDS, Big Nog etc. Most of them considerably taller than Fedor, thus necessarily a bit less bulky (e.g. Werdum). Fedor always had the ideal size for HW (maybe a tad bit short), those guys who cut to make 265 normally suck.
So let's appreciate Fedor as the great fighter he was but let's stop making shit up about how he was even greater because he was such a small HW. He was not.

Was he really 237lbs? In those early fights? He usually was 230 to 235lbs carrying 20lbs of fat or more. Even in those top pictures the body fat % is higher than average. He could be a MW or LHW if he got shredded. Hell he could be like Cormier if he cut enough water weight and lost 10lbs. Cormier is chubby strong and cut from 230lbs
And wasn' he 240lbs? Against Mir?

There is no reason why Fedor could not have slimmed down to 200 lbs and cut to MW. But he is definitely better off fighting at HW.Whoever says that is retarded.

I dont get why he comes in so out of shape. He looked much better against Hendo when he was 220, was flying in with punches way faster than what he's throwing now. I get that is was a while ago, but I'm pretty sure he was much looser against Hendo because of that.
