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?
If you're implying that Fedor was in fixed fights, how about you man-up and say so outright?
The UFC's HW division was sub-par for pretty much the entirety of Fedor's career. Signing with them would have proven less than beating Zulu did.
By the time UFC's HWs were worth mentioning in the same breath as Fedor, his career was nearly over.
He was on top for nearly a decade. All fighters lose if they continue fighting for long enough. Fedor was the best in the world for a long time, and in his prime would have been a handful (to say the least) for any of today's top HWs, but he reached the end of the road. His speed declined, as did his versatile use of his expansive skill-set.
It really wasn't hard to see that there was a huge difference between his best years, and the last 8 - 9 of his fights. You've elected not to notice that fact, but I guess it is your right to embrace ignorance if you so choose.

by questioning the legitimacy of pride as an mma organization im pretty much outright questioning fedor's legacy. as well as my favourite fighter of all time Wandy. and every other fighter's record from pride.
I personally don't count their records in pride as i know pride was not a legit organization based on all the facts i've provided. Another fact i failed to mention is the pride ref's wore earpieces. No one has ever provided a legit reason as to why they wore them. On top of everything else it just makes pride more fishy to me. As if the whole yakuza run fixed fights mixed with prowrestling rampant steroid abuse and gambling didn't already do that.
Pride fighting organization was recognized by all media outlets.
There fighters and champions are recognized as well.
The UFC recognizes Pride belts and the records of their fighters. So does all fighting organizations.
The NSAC does not question the legitimacy of the records of former Pride fighters now fighting in the US.
Basically, Pride is recognized as legitimate by all the relevant organizations and agencies.
But some random dude on the internet questions its legitimacy. I say this random dude has fake delusion of self-importance on the internet to substitute for the benign existence of his real life.

Lol then uncle Dana fell in love.

He gets a lot of crap over him, I truly believe he tried his best. When you have a big mouth a fly tends to fly in once in a while.
Ah!
So your strategy is to provide no evidence whatsoever, regarding Fedor's dominance, and to fall back on "I personally" as a get-out-of-logic-free card.
Fair enough:
Zuffa is owned by casino bosses (strongly rumoured to have mob ties). Considering the fight game's history of gambling corruption, illegitimate UFC title shots constantly awarded to the undeserving, and the moral greyness of Zuffa and several of its employees, I personally don't count the record of anyone that has ever competed under the UFC banner.
So, together, we personally don't believe that any of the top MMA fighters, ever, were legitimate. Since, of all of these fake fighters, Fedor was still one of the best at faking what he did, he is still one of the best the "sport" has ever seen.
Now we're both acting retarded, but I personally don't believe you deserve to be a part of this conversation, so as far as I am concerned, you no longer are.
i've already provided many facts on why i dont believe Pride was a legitimate organization and you provide rumors and opinions about the ufc. ok. carry on nuthugger.
