Prime Shogun vs. Prime Fedor (Open weight fight in Pride) - Who wins?

[Takes Two To Tango]

This potentially could be one of the most entertaining fights ever imo.

Not sure how long it will last. Probably a quick fight with a lot going on.

Who do you have in this open weight fight?

Shogun > Arona > Fedor

Fedor a big favourite…..Shogun would be on his back fast

Wild fight but Fedor was better everywhere, bigger too..

Shogun’s reckless abandon would have seen his head taken off by a Fedor overhand right / hook, Fedor had reflexes of a cat back then.

Could also see Fedor dropping shogun onto his head and GNPing him into oblivion.

He mauled big nog on the ground, hes finish shogun there.

TS trying to get shogun hurt …..shogun vs Cro cop would be more fun lol

Shogun by KO. Fedor has a losing record against MW's and LHW's. Because they were faster and more skilled, Fedor was more used to beating one dimensional, big slow oxes.

Fedor...he wins all "what if" matches in Pride during that time, period. This isn't even really a conversation. Anyone voting Shogun, would love to hear the rationale behind that.

When did Fedor start losing the MW's and LHW's? Fedor wasn't in his Prime 2011 or 2019. Neither was Shogun. The TS asked prime vs. prime, not any time during their career. Peak Fedor vs. Peak Shogun. Judging his fights in 2019 and 2023 and saying he has losing record against MW's and LHW's is crazy wild equating that to him during his prime years.

He was 100% in his prime in SF when he was 33-34 contrary to what deluded fanboys might claim.

So he lost to Hendo, lost to Arona, beat Matt Lindland though. Congrats to Fedor for not losing to Matt, amazing performance. Congratulations, seriously.

So even prime for prime he has a losing record to MW's and LHW's if you want to discount his losses to Bader, Maldonado

Shogun wasn't exactly the best at defending the takedown. His usual tactic of going for a knee bar just gets him beat up more.

 

[PaulieVegas27]

Are you serious? Prime Fedor would kill him.

PRIME Fedor was LITERALLY unbeatable…inbreds on here saying after 30+ fights and numerous SAMBO titles concurrently
that Fedor was still prime are dumber than rocks.

Prime Fedor would wreck prime Shogun and I am a big fan of both.

Inbreeding detected…

Prime Fedor beats anyone. The only fight where I would not immediately bet the house on prime Fedor is him vs prime Jon Jones.
