FEDOR !!!

[Tyler D.]

Did you see his last fight against Brett Rogers ?
Do you think the last emperor is the best fighter in MMA world ?

saw it live; ppl soo shocked it went to the 2nd and that he took 2-3 gnp shots ppl actually think he lost the first round! another example of the unique standard hes held to.

no question best fighter, while the p4p argument is arguable, theres no question hes the best all time.

yeah not question fedor is the pound for pound fighter ...his skill is amazing and look at his recored 30-1 ...only loss cuz a cut ....hes never been beaten

[Shaz]

And he's russian 

[powerbomb91]

yup that too

this man has a very strong mind and manages to win against much heavier opponents because of his mental focus capacity. I think he will kick some *** in UFC and prove his strength.

Fedor is a powerful fighter, no questions ask.

He is a great fighter but I question his management team for how they handle who he fights and when.  Not sure what is going on with that but it just seems a little suspicious.  He'd be better tested in UFC definitely but Dana White was right in not wanting to taint the UFC brand with M-1 attached to it.  I think many would want to see him vs Brock or Mir but that isnt going to happen anytime soon.  When it does......WOW.  In the interim, if Strikeforce can get Fedor v Overeem for the SF heavyweight belt, that should be a great test for both of them.  I watched Overeem annihilate dudes in Japan last year so I know he is a good match for Fedor.

I just watched Fedor lose to Werdum here in San Jose tonight.  I am stunned.

It's sad what happened to Fedor. He was winning most of the fight with Dan Henderson but got caught by lucky behind the back shot.  I think he was still a big enough of a draw that they shouldn't have cut him.

Yeah, referee Herb Dean technically had the right to stop this last fight, & I won't harp on it not being "championship caliber/main event" ref'ing cadence  as I believe the ref was thinking of the conviction of his decisions, not on the fight as it is. As soon as he interjected, Fedor swiftly recovered (turned to defense) but Dean had already made HIS decision. Good thing the ref in Kongo/Barry didnt do the same. I'm thankful that his cadence isn't the norm. If so we wouldn't have fights like: that one. Daley vs Diaz, Scott Smith vs Benji Radach, Andre Berto vs Victor Ortiz, Gatti vs Ward(1) etc..

I saw the last of Fedor's win streak (vs Rogers) in person. IMO, he's the greatest fighter of all time and inarguably one of the greatest. Noone else w/ a record like that has fought for a finish and against his opponent's strength the way he did. UFC has only seen a past-their-primes Nogueira and Crocop; Fedor dominated them both at their strengths, while in their primes (Nog - guard, Crocop - ring striking)

Its said that "The moment a fighter entertains the thought of eventual retirement, they're already retired." Fedor spoke of it at/after the Arlovski fight. I'd only like to see him continue if HE wants it, not his shady M-1 mgmt. He's downgressed in EVERY aspect - strength, strategy, reaction, speed, etc, but he's given soo much I wouldn't begrudge him a chance to have his hand raised once again.
