He had half as many fights as Cain did before he got a Title shot & made the most of it.
Bently Fedor versus Nogueria or Fedor versus Crocop were better fights.

Hippie I haven't seen those, but I am sure you are right. I named the other fights, because they are an example to me of what Fedor is so good at. Fedor has always intrigued me as he is not always the most physically dominate fighter, but he seems to be able to get in and land great shots. Which watching UFC 121 is what Cain did to him. He was a little shorter than Brock and clearly gave up weight, but man he got in range of Lesner's face and dropped bombs...made every one count. It was great.
Shocker and Tex, you guys make great points. I have wondered if Dana White offers extra money to go out and make a d*ckhead comment. And with the fighters I have never understood why the need. I get predicting you will win, but if you think your opponent is so unworthy and you beat him, then what have you accomplished. Where if it were me, I would be like Randy Couture, I would talk about how good and complete they skills are and how much I respect them and how they will be a challenge. But Randy is the last of the old guard. |
