if he was so great why did he only dominate in fake pride?
he went to strikeforce and went 1-3 getting subbed, dominated to a mid fight stoppage, then ko'd by a mw.
why didn't he ever come to the ufc even after being offered millions?
Fuck it, I'll bite since I'm at work and have nothing better to do at the moment.
Of course PRIDE had it's fair share of setup fights, nobody in their right mind would deny that. You're obviously insinuating that Fedor's fights in PRIDE were indeed 'fake'. Can you please tell me which fights exactly were fake. I want sources and not something that Rampage said about his fights, since he's such a reliable source.
So what if he lost in SF, if MMA taught me one thing it's if you fight long enough you are bound to lose just like all the fighters from his era. He lost at the end of his career. The guy spent the majority of his career fighting in a ring, the cage is a very different setting. Not to mention after all the training, competing in judo/sambo, pro fights and injuries takes a huge toll on anyone physically.
Now as for Hendo being a 'MW'. This one might be hard for you to believe, but the guy was over 185 when he fought Fedor, in fact he was around 206 if I'm not mistaken. There is no shame in losing to top ranked fighters such as Werdum and BF and Henderson who by many is considered to be in the top five of all time greats.
As for him not coming to the UFC for 'millions', I find that hard to believe because the source is Dana White. You know the guy that wanted Fedor in the UFC and couldn't get him so he started talking negatively about him for years. Fedor had a good deal in SF. Why would he want to work for someone that constantly talked shit about him. I know I wouldn't.
