Strikeforce Show

[Captain America]

So rankings can't be trusted? How about this: 12 wins against MMA champions (RINGS, UFC, Pride, Pancrase), 4 wins against striking champions (at least national level), 10 wins against grappling champions (at least national level)

Brett's only wins were Cro-Cop and Thompson? Brett Rogers? His only big win was Arlovski, but what about JDS and Cain? Dos Santos' only big win is Werdum, his next best is Big Country (well rounded, but hardly top level). Cain's only big wins are Zombie Nog and Lesnar. By Rua do you mean Mauricio "Shogun"? Wrong weight class, Shogun's at 205.

Lesnar, aside from being an NCAA D-1 champ, has the best set of wins in the UFC at HW! Herring (tough vet with a ton of experience, been fighting at or near the top for almost a decade), Couture (champ), Mir (champ), and Carwin (champ). All of whom were supposed destroy him before they fought.

Coleman was no good because he was 40, but he needs to fight Couture? Randy's 45 or 46, you know, older than 40.

Apply your standard of measure for Fedor to any other HW, ever. I guarantee you Fedor will outshine them all, by a wide, wide margin.

i guess you are right captain! you made me respect fedor a little bit more.
i never said he is not a good fighter, but i question the godlike status hes been getting from fanboys. the unbeatable aura people gave fedor kinda ruined it for me.

just to keep on topic look at rey sefo, he is pretty much a masculine version of mark hunt. look how easy he got beat.
just a few years back one dimensional fighters can be champ easy. but now its different, there are a ton of new fighters who are so well rounded. fedor needs to fight new breed fighters. guys who are good at stand up can defend well against submissions and has a good wrestling base.

though cain jds and a few other fighters doesnt have a lot of fights i do think they stand a better chance against fedor. cause all of them are so well rounded. oh and a 47 yr old couture has better cardio than most of the young fighters now. so its really unfair to compare coleman's age against couture.

Genuinely sorry for Fedor.
I believe he's well past his best. It went by without him noticing...

And now as MMA blossoms his best is over, he missed out on the big money and maximum exposure. Poor guy, they're going to try enhance others with his name

He didn't have to. Dana offered him $5m per fight just to fight in the UFC and an immediate crack at the then Champion, Brock Lesnar. He turned it down because he didn't want to hand over the rights to his name, or leave M1-Global, or be shackled to 1 organisation. To turn down that kind of bank, he's either stupid, or comfortable he can make better money elsewhere with endorsements and other extras.
