Why Couldn't Fedor Beat Bader?

You're a joke, funny how that's the division that everyone has always wanted to watch and organizations that center around lighter weight classes go under like One is having financial problems right.

I dont understand this position.

Steroids were encouraged in Pride.

So if Dan had fought Fedor in Pride, the outcome would have been different?
 
Bader is a tough matchup for even a prime Fedor. But I think Fedor lost his athleticism, rhythm, his timing is off and his chin.

He's not close to the same fighter he was when he was 30 years old.
 
How come Anderson Silva couldn't beat Uriah Hall ?

Come come ts couldn't use his brain ?
 
It still amazes me how supposed fight fans don’t understand fight mileage. Fedor was fighting 3-5 times a year throughout most of his early and peak MMA career. He fought as many times in a 3 year stretch than some recent UFC star’s like Khabib and Conor’s entire career.

While competing and winning Russian, European and World Combat Sambo championships through the same stretch. That’s the equivalent of about five current UFC career’s wear and tear. You get old fast with that pace.

I dont think tko in the 4th round is the same as getting knocked out by a jab in 10 seconds

It was obvious Bader will win

Wins vs people past 40 don't count

Should have hung it up after he knocked out that fat guy in Bellator. That was as good as it was gonna get for him.

Virtually every top 10 HW of that era fought in Pride (or faced Fedor in a 3rd party event like affliction), so you can't exactly say that steroids alone fueled Fedor's success.

Nog
Cro Cop
Arlovski
Coleman
Randleman
Sylvia etc.

In fact, Fedor was 34 when he first lost to Werdum, which seems like a perfectly normal age for athletes to start to decline.

Henderson is also HW, he won Rings HW tournament beating Minotauro, Yvel, Sobral. So he has legit HW results. Anyone who accepts fight at HW, or fight with no weight limit is automatically a HW.

No one looks at Hendersons career and calls him a HW

Certainly not in a fight he had to drink excess water to make 205lbs

He did beat Big Nog. Well he is a MW and beat Fedor and Nog. He's a beast. Fedor is a snall HW, was a fair fight. Fedor lost his magic at some point. Why did he lose a fight ? Why not ? That's what fighters do, make others take a loss

Henderson was a 200lbs fighter for most of his career in early UFC and Pride it was only much later he started fighting at MW, when people on here start saying Fedor lost to MW it only shows that you have very limited knowledge of the history of NHB and only modern UFC.

You must think Sakuraba and Royce Gracie are heavyweights too lol. This is some backward ass logic.

Sure, if they fought at those historic times with no weight limit, and if they beat HWs like Severn, Shamrock, Conan Silvera, Kimo Leopoldo, like they did, then they are legit HWs when we look at those historic times. And should be considered as good wins for HWs at those historic times, because they showed abillity to beat them. If you beat Royce Gracie in 1990s, that is a great HW win.

There was no minimum weight required, or anything. No weight limit at all, up or down. If you can beat good big HW fighters, you are a HW, no matter what you weight. You showed your fighting abillity. At the end of the day, it is a fight where abillity to beat the other guy counts, not a weight in contest where the bigger number on the scale automatically wins.
