Look at a lot of fedors last wins..brett rogers..andrei arlovski...tim sylvia...matt lindland...mark coleman...crocop... he fought a few really good fighters and won, but most of his wins have been over cans. Sorry, but i've always said and maintain, fedor is overrated. |

Re: Official MMA Thread
The records of some of Fedor's opponents (at the time he fought them):
Cro-Cop was 16-2-2 Nog was 24-2-1 Coleman was 13-5 (first time) Sylvia was 24-4 Arlovski was 15-5 Fujita was 9-2 Lindland 19-4 What a bunch of bums!

Re: Official MMA Thread
From a post, which i kind of agree with:
Ricardo Arona by decision--->fedor was on top of him most of the match. He won the decision because Fedor was on top of him..SHOULDA been a DRAW!! Renato BABALU Sobral by decision----->again, fedor was on top of babalu, that is how he won the decision. Heath Herring by Cut--->a win on a cut really doesn't count as a real MMA win. Antonio Rodgrigo Nogueira by decision--->all fedor did was stay on top of nog and kill the clock. Kazayuki Fujita by choke---->I gotta admit that fedor won this match fair and square. However, Fujita isn't a top 10 heavyweight at the time. mark coleman by armbar--->im pretty sure, defeating a 41 year old man counts.... Antonio Rodgrigo Nogueaira 2 by decision--->fedor won because he stayed on top of NOG. Nog and fedor's standup game were similar. Mirko Filipinovic By decision--->Fedor knows he cannot outstrike Mirko (at the time) , so he had to tackle him to the ground and Kill some clock. The refs like MMA fighters that stay on top, therefore fedor won. Summary?!! Fedor has beaten the top MMA fighters in Pride; however, he won through DECISION. The only MMA fighters that wasn't cans that he defeated was-->a 41 year old mark coleman, kevin randleman, a non top 10 heavyweight kazayuki Fujita, and a 41 year old don fry. EVERY other NON can MMA match, fedor WOn through decision. Fedor--->overrated. He wins against top heavyweights through decision.. WHILE he Beat up on CANS, claiming he is the best. Fedor is overrated. NUFF SAID.... Fedor is a DECISION fighter. |

Re: Official MMA Thread
So GSP isn't a real champ either? I can see your point that he's not always finishing fights--there is a hyped mystique around the guy that he could kill grizzly bears with eye lasers and all that, but c'mon. At the time he fought them Sylvia and Arlovski were NOT cans and he finished both of them. He finished Sylvia so quick you could watch the fight twice before the average Billy Mays commercial ends.

Re: Official MMA Thread
This is a dead horse I'm really sick of hearing about it but I laughed when you called Fedor a decision fighter. Thats the 1st time I heard that, he has 1 decision win in the last 5 years. Most fighters don't even last 5 years in the buisness. Fedor has a worldwide reputation to go for the kill. He willingly risk himself to finish people and doesn't hesitate to jump in a world class bjj guard. Andrson the punk Silva would have run away and danced around the ring like he did against Maia. Silva and Chael Sonnen are decision fighters.

Re: Official MMA Thread
If you'd have actually read the first thing i said in that post, it said "from a post" meaning it was a copy/paste from another place. I never said any of those things, just that i agreed with some of it.

Re: Official MMA Thread
If i say i think Fedor is overrated, why does it matter who (and if) i think someone else is not overrated? What does one thing have to do with another? If i talk about apples and how i don't like macintosh ones, are you going to ask me about oranges? gg

Great card overall. Great to see Leben win, Poor Akiyama had a can in Wandy all lined up, and gets fed to a buzz saw in the crippler. Bonner still has something left, Chris Lytle always is impressive.

Re: Official MMA Thread
Story BloodyElbow just ran.... interesting
"Will Dana White Really Cut Anderson Silva If He Plays Around Against Chael Sonnen at UFC 117? Kevin Iole documents the atrocities that have been Anderson Silva's recent middleweight title defenses: Following UFC 90, which featured little action in the first two rounds before Cote had to withdraw after a third-round knee injury, White came to the post-fight news conference and said, "I was sitting there saying, ‘What the [expletive] is going on?' " He also said, "I was sitting there going, ‘No, this isn't happening,' " and, "If you don't know him and you showed up for the first time, you'd [think] that guy was goofing around. He was acting arrogant and cocky and trying to play with [Cote] like he was a little kid." It was more of the same at UFC 97, when Silva declined to follow Leites, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, to the mat and turn a fight into a grappling match, leading to a dull five-round fight. Silva didn't understand why he was being criticized and said, "Everything I trained to do, I did." ... But Silva's performances at UFC 90 and UFC 97 were just kind of a cruel warm-up act to the comedy skit that went on during his title defense against Maia, the first UFC card in the Middle East and the first with the White and Fertitta's new partners, Abu Dhabi-based Flash Entertainment, in place. Iole also says that had Anderson put on the kind of performances against Cote, Leites and Maia that he did against Rich Franklin (2x), Dan Henderson and Nate Marquardt that he'd likely have been rewarded with a mega-fight against welterweight champion Georges St Pierre. Instead, Silva is being punished by having to beat Chael Sonnen and Vitor Belfort in conconsecutive MW title defenses before getting any more fights outside his division. That's IF Dana White approves of his performances in the two fights. Iole continues: But if there is a repeat, the pressure will shift from Silva to White. White vowed after UFC 112 to cut Silva should he fight as he did that night ever again. If Silva prances his way to an unsatisfying win, the burden will shift to White to back up his tough talk and ax the man he's touted for years as the best fighter in the world. That would be far more interesting to watch than any of Silva's last three title defenses have been. That will indeed be very interesting and could well be a critical fork in the road for Dana White, the UFC and MMA as a sport. If the precedent is established that simply winning is not enough to stay in the UFC, but rather entertaining is the preeminent virtue, White will have indeed set the UFC on a course away from sport and towards sport-entertainment. On the other hand, if Anderson Silva once again makes a mockery of his opponent and the fight and Dana does not cut him, Dana will look like he backed down in the face of a recalcitrant but supremely talented athlete." |
