The tbing is Stipe is Our guy and we will support him until he stops competing.. Same as We did with Mirko crp cop.. And Fedor was animal in his prime whatever anybody think!
Fedor wasn't an animal in his prime. His prime, and the prime for most MMA fighters/Athletes is like 27-32. Fedor's best years were him getting knocked out and fighting nobodies.
The thing with Fedor was he was the most well rounded fighter in a time when no one was well rounded. Not only was he well rounded though he was better too, he was a better striker and a better grappler in the pride days compared to any other heavyweight in the world regardless of organization. Other fighters started taking wrestling and BJJ more seriously as well as tightening up their boxing. During this time Fedor was fighting cans, thinking he was the shit, a living legend...then he comes state side and fights for Affliction where he knocks out a Tim Sylvia who recently tried to stand with Ray Mercer, probably one of the hardest hitting boxers. He knocks out Tim and the legion of fools are yipping, hooting and hollering about how great Fedor is after just weeks earlier talking about how Tim Sylvia was done his career was over.
Then Fedor fights Andrei, he's losing to Andrei until Fedor gets Arlovski on the turn buckle and Andrei does some Weidman-esque jumping retardation and gets starched. Andrei also has a super suspect chin and everyone was talking about that during the lead up, then Fedor starches him and Andrei is all of a sudden the greatest opponent Fedor has ever fought. The Delusional tards go nuts again. Then he gets a fight in SF vs. A guy they won't let fight for a title.... but they'll let him fight Fedor... makes sense. So Fedor wins his squash match against Rogers like it's 2004 and he's in Pride again fighting guys he's so much better than.
This is where it gets interesting, Fedor finally has to fight a guy that has spent the last 10 years of his life getting better. While Fedor enjoyed everyone throwing praise at him saying he's the best yadda yadda. And he got smoked. And Smoked again. And then smoked again, this time to a fucking middleweight.
Are we ready to stop calling him the greatest ever yet? The greatest ever doesn't lose to a middle weight in Dan Henderson who 2 fights earlier couldn't beat Jake Fucking Shields, not just that but could barely move vs. Shields.
Lets take a look after Henderson to see how hard they are protecting Fedor to keep their cash horse alive Jeff Monson LOL, Satoshi Ishi LOL, Pedro Rizzo LOL, Singh Jaideep LOL, and then he goes to Russia, because he knows Malonado isn't a play toy. He loses in the first round but they let it keep going for some odd reason. He then looks like shit the remainder of the fight but somehow wins. An international committee overturned the result but the russian MMA body, which Fedor is the fucking head of, refused to overturn the result to a NC.
Fedor is a piece of shit. m1 global is the fucking mob, Fedor's own brother openly says M1 is mob.
Fedor is a myth.
Fedor was the greatest Heavyweight for a time, that time was from 2000-2007. Even during his best years he was fighting guys that had no place in the ring with him though....
