You're using MMAth if anything.

Prime Fedor is still the most over rated fighter in the whole history of MMA, fought a who's who of nobodies, Hong Man Choi for gods sake, now he's fighting Maldonado?? WTF. Got battered by Bigfoot, Ko'd by Dan Henderson (a middle weight), struggled against Brett Rogers, a novice, opted to Fight Ishii, a five fight novice, he fought Singh Jaideep, a 2 fight novice, what the hell for? Took on a 40 year old Jeff Monson, who was going nowhere. In his so called prime, he fought Matt Lindland, a middleweight, Crocop lasted the distance with him, he got exposed pretty soon after. Before Crocop he fought Tsuyoshi Kohsaka all but a light heavyweight with a record of 26-16, 2 fights previous he fought Naoya Ogawa a 7 fight novice, I could go on.

When you actually look at his record, it's padded as hell, and the top guys on his sheet were very limited on the whole. Big Nog is probably his best win, but there's quite a list of guys who have beaten him. This 'Prime Fedor' horse shit ignores all the meaningless fights he had and doesn't recognise the poor quality of opponent he faced. The Myth of the Russian Emperor is just that, a myth..

Yellow belt post that begins with "Fedor is overrated". Yeah no way i would ever continue reading that lulz

Last time Fedor tried to submit someone

he got destroyed

almost as badly as his victor in his very next fight:

Fedor getting GNP'd by a middleweight:

Cormier GNP against an actual elite grappler:

State of Fedor after Cormier is done with him:

No offense but everything in your post is 100% irrelevant, lol.

fedor beats up bears in his spare time. he would easily arm bar cormier if he didnt already finish him standing.

proof

bears figured they couldnt beat him so they asked him to help train their bear cubs

Damn right.

 

[Wadtucket]

Cormier has 30'' reach, good luck trapping that elbow

 

[bobgeese]

No offense, but submission defense has come a long way from when Fedor was armbarring folks...

 

[Fahrenheit1221]

Cormier wins.

Then why is DC making the same mistakes?

 

[Claude]

Cormier wins.

At ping pong?

I agree prime fedor would have beaten the Cormier we know mainly due to superior athleticism and fight experience.
But we ll prolly never know what could have a been a prime Cormier if he'd have started his MMA career 5 years earlier ...

I agree totally.....Cormier seems to absolutely have the never say die attitude.....He fought the best to the end. It was just Bones night.

Fedor got blasted by trt bigfoot...
Dc knocked trt bigfeets head off in the first roimd...

Fedor would get pasted onto the canvas by dc the ufc would be sponsored by russia..

 

[bobgeese]

Because he trains it every day with high level team mates. He has grappled his whole life and knows when he is in trouble (far better than you), as evidence by him not being armbarred by any of the people in the pics.

Assuming Cormier doesn't get Zulu'd by Fedor (i know i know, chances are very slim, but still) and he manages to take Fedor down, this is what happens next: he's get armbarred. End of story.

Why? because there is no freaking way Cormier survives on top of a prime Fedor the way he fights on the ground.

DC loves, and i mean he absolutely LOVES leaving himself opened to armbars. He loves resting his arms on his opponents' chest and leaving his fully extended arm around. Check it out:

Fully extended arms. Fedor loves those.

Jesus Christ somebody tell Cormier he shouldn't leave his arm there. Prime Fedor would abuse.

Uh oh..thank god that fattie isn't Fedor

This is 2 seconds before Fedor armbarred Coleman:

fully extended arm again

Not a good idea vs. the GOAT Fedor:

DC's biggest MMA skill: leaving himself opened for armbars. (btw Gus did realize Cormier was leaving himself opened and attempted an armbar from the bottom. Too bad he's no Fedor).

DC begging for an armbar some more

Guess who else makes the same mistake?

Fighters these days....

Careful where you put your arm boys. It might get broken when you fight someone competent on the ground, such as...

Real pic. Not kidding.

Prime Fedor > all. If you try to debate this, you don't know the sport well enough.

Cheers.

DC is great and one of my favs but he'd flat out get Zulu'd by Prime Fedor in 30 seconds... current Fedor, maybe 2 minutes.

Fedor was just too fluid and too good everywhere. DC might be able to get some good shots in the clinch, and might even work some gnp. But eventually Fedor would reverse him, or sub him, or get it back to standing and out strike him, etc. Not to even bring up the difference in their respective gas tanks. Prime for prime, Fedor wins 8/10(conservative estimate).

*Wrestled* his hole life. He hasn't been defending subs for long as it is evident.

Exploited or not, mistakes are mistakes.

 

[1King]

Isn't this the guy that got knocked out by Dan Henderson, and bums like Big Foot? Doesn't deserve to be in a ring with Jones or Cormier.

Who is Redhawks? I'm not seeing him on my page anywhere.

Weird, eh?
