What was it like after Fedor lost to Werdum

[Cowboy Kurt Angle]

This fight was a pretty big upset, Fedor was unstoppable and I don’t think anybody expected Werdum to be the one to beat him, so what was sherdog like after? I’m sure a lot of people probably pulled the Brock is the GOAT card as he was still a few months away from losing to Cain

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Obviously everyone pointed out that Fedor was never that good.

Is normal on teh dawg

I was working so i missed the fight but saw it after the fight. Unfortunately I couldn't come to Sherdog after that one, but personally, this is a single fight where I could not believe that actually happened after actually watching it, and many times too.

Crocop - Gonzaga fight was surreal in the manner it happened, but it took me a while for me to actually accept that Fedor lost and that actually happened.

That's what it was like for me, but I'd imagine it was probably like when Serra beat GSP or Holm beat Rousey and so on.

Rousey one was the best imo because obviously i was pulling for Fedor and GSP but Rousey hype was just hard to put up with around here and Rousey-Holm aftermath was glorious.

And people don't remember this well, but Gomi losing to Aurelio was extremely shocking too. Gomi was the p4p best fighter on sherdog and the fighter of the year as well then he just lost to some guy.

It was a shock to the system for me, but I felt like it was a simple mistake tbh.
The Hendo one I chalked up to Hendo hitting him with the perfect shot.

Bigfoot fuckin crushed my entire soul, and continued to do that throughout the year...it was like a bad fuckin dream.

It messed me up for a long time. But at least it was Werdum and not Brock.

Was watching it live, was shocked to disbelief, especially since Fedor dropped him so quickly and usually was very good in a guard of elite BJJ guys

Sherdog obviously was down for a bit

 

[Bob Sagat]

fuckin hurt man
got better after werdum saw breakout success as a HW fighter and I could cope with fedor losing to a 'great' at the tail end of his career

Accurate. Werdum seemed flukey. Hendo seemed flukey. But Big Foot just destroyed him. That was crazy. Big Foots top game was nasty. Too bad he couldn't take anyone else down.

I wouldn't say flukey exactly but I know where you're coming from sir.

Could have been worse imagine if Andrei or Brett Rogers was the one to beat Fedor

In hindsight.

But at the time Werdum was hardly that highly thought of. This loss was extremely embarrassing. Fedor got tricked and beaten in his own game, the game that made him so successful in the past.

it was pretty humiliating for the Fedor crew on here. The Strikeforce humbling was long overdue.

 

[Elvis.]

Shock , total shock for many , and a lot of sadness that it was over , Fedor being an invincible killing machine in hindsight was so much fun , and now it was over

People came to the realization that Brett Rodgers wasn’t just having the night of his life , looking back that fight should have been a sign that the decline had begun, but again, nobody wanted to believe it

Been a while but I think this one shut the site down for a bit. Haven't seen that in a minute but the traffic after big upsets used to crash this place somewhat routinely.

"Andrei could've been worse." Yeah the former UFC HW champ with a W over Werdum AND Bigfoot both, could've been worse than losing to the guys he beat.

The forum crashed when it happened. Then it crashed again when it aired on delay.

Some had a meltdown.
Some rejoiced.
Some were indifferent.

 

[Hank Grill]

Like substance said the board crashed. It was a dark time back in 2010.

Pretty much like this

I had DirecTV at the time so I wasn't able to see it live. Showtime aired it on delay on the West Coast. They really screwed the pooch on that one.
