He rematched the TK loss. He's so far past his prime trying to avenge any of the other losses makes very little sense right now.

I was thinking more recently than now, ie within a year of the loss
He could have definitely beaten Werdum at the time IMO

He was Fedor. He didn't have to avenge losses to get an even bigger fight.
I don't think he cared either.

I think the TK loss was a rare personal thing for him because the ruling was unsportsmanlike. Or Pride just wanted to tell it so. Also makes him easier to promote as unbeaten.
For other rematches I don't think he cares. If you listen to his interviews it's more about competing in the sport rather than in a random brawl, and in sports one has to lose.
He said though after the 1st Nog win that in order to become great he has to fight other "strong opponents" like Nog, but didn't say he wants to fight Nog again.

Cause this isnt boxing where you can fight whoever regardless of which promoter youre with. As for those he couldve rematched, he was past his prime by the time he went to Strikeforce. No need to put more miles on a old car. Would rather see a fresh style matchup as a fan.

Unlucky lol
Concern for his healthy would be the best excuse not to rematch any of those fights

Werdum fight should have been instant rematch since Fedor is GOAT HW champion.
Did you want Fedor to die?

I believe it was the manner of those losses that stuck out to people as "Huh, well I'll be damned".
He dropped Werdum and went in dry into his guard, most people were probably expecting a finish at that point but then Werdum locked him up with no hope for Fedor of spinning out of it because the cage wall was on his right side. Still, nothing flukey much but it could have ended pretty shitty for Werdum.
Same with the Hendo fight, Hendo basically gets KO'ed and woken up in the same combo, gets dropped with Fedor on top swanging and bangin...To all a sudden reversing it and popping Fedor and boom stopped. Hendo even admitted to having his consciousness turned off and back on before winning.
The BF fight though, that was pretty bad...
