Arona gets round 1 easy, Round 2 is more of a toss up... Arona mounted Fedor twice.. but Fedor rocked Arona. Wouldn't be upset with Round 2 going to either fighter or being a draw.
Fedor was always beatable,Fujita,Coleman,Randlman,Hunt,Andrei all had a chance by skill or odds in a fight! This is what happens time & time again, in proof of what Fedor does when his put 2 the test,when his under fire & is against the ropes, he finds a way, & finally after a decade of greatness of unequal mind set & focus,he was given his first true loss. Not by luck but by human technical mistake that proves even more Y Fedor is the greatest. Bcus he is human. An every 1 else is a Hater!
When 2 rounds are over, the fighter who receives more points from more than 2 judges is the winner and the other is the loser. When 2 judges do not score superior points to a fighter, the match is DRAW, and there will be extra round. When extra round is over, judges decide the winner (no draw).
That means the 2 rounds were scored as a single continuous round with only a physical break between the two, which proves that Fedor did NOT lose a single round to Arona, despite some peoples' claims. It also proves that the scoring system was different than the modern MMA, which both fighters were aware of and tried to take advantage of, with the victory going to Fedor. So, there is no "if they fought by today's rules..." argument.
@phrek75 if Fedor lost no rounds why did one judge give the fight to Arona after 2 rounds? and did that judge not know the 'rules'? simply, that judge was right, and the other two wrong, IMO, and I know about the rules already...
Also, how can you imply Fedor fought that way because of the rules? that would be dumb of him, because he came incredibly close to losing. Why can't people accept Arona (undefeated & unscored on ADCC champ!) simply worked him on the ground?
However, at this point a round by round scoring would be a guess without an official source. What IS definite is that the official 2 round scoring (as a single round) proves that Fedor did not lose any round to Arona. Any disagreements would only be a speculation, unless you can provide something official.
@phrek75 Why don't you just climb out of your own ass and accept that it was a controversial decision and was considered that by many people in the world of MMA at the time. Obviously based on Rings rules, no head striking on the gound etc then maybe a little dice rolling lol they gave the fight to fedor, but a person is more than entitled to offer the argument that if they had been fighting under Pride or UFC rules and the fight was identical in every way the decision would have gone to Arona
@FlyingArmBarU I couldnt care less if Fedor or Arona won. But you seem so butthurt Fedor won, its pretty obvious, hilarious to say atleast ;)
I didnt claim being an expert anywhere, but its easy to call another guy a novice, when he argues with retard/stfu dude/fedor lost...wouldnt you agree??
And why try to argue under Pride Rules. They both knew RINGS rules, and tried to win by them. I would feel sorry for Arona, if they fought under PRIDE rules, it would have been a diffrent fight.
@phrek75 Oh which fighters do you train and, whats your fight record and which magazine do you write for? or let me guess you are another one of these self proclaimed MMA experts who cannot conceive of the notion that others in the everyday world know just as much if not more than they do. That was just one of several questionable decisions made by judges at that particular event.
fedor got taken down at will,like a ragdoll!if arona had better bjj skills like werdum he would have nipped the 'creaming for fedor fanclub' in the bud ten years ago.
@bradlycriswell1990 it's mma dumbass.go watch boxing if you want stand up.btw,if fedor fought a boxer who could easily slip his ridiculously telegraphed bunches of punches,then fedor would be the one angling for the take down.dumbass.
I think for Fedor it's a good test of his ground game and, such a fight and its preparation will raise even his ground skills. Otherwise, it's obviously not a good fight for him, as striking down opponents, from standing or guard, is a specialty of his arsenal.

@Carluzenrique not under rules' judging system. who knows how differently they would have fought if there was no down rule like in boxing and there was real ground and pound allowed
tubesteak, just reading you're post, I can tell all you're doing is regurgitating what you've heard everyone else say...
on another note: I'm glad you discovered MMA, I'm glad you even took the time out to watch old pride shows, I think every real fan should appreciate the pride era from 2000-06.. but don't get into a debate when you reall don't kno your shit...
@tubeoffenders.. you just proved to be as stupid as you sound.. first off, you're comparing fights (goodridge, nog, hmc, kevin,AA) where fedya either dominated or finished his opponents in impressive fashion to a fight where fedya was held on his back a forced to defend subs... your comparison is worse than apples and oranges.
secondly, you just mentioned those old fights to come off as a long tiime fan.. you'r not fooling anyone kiddo.. welcome to mma...
@tubeoffenders let me guess tuf guy... you first found out about fedya rite around the time randy beat poopy pants and called him out in the the post fight interview.. but actually at the time you still weren't a beleiver.. u started beleiving in him when he solidified all the rumors you heard after slappin poopy and melting AA.
when fedya was just the pride champ, majority consesus say retardo won... now fedya has all these new dick riding fans that won't admit arona was cheated....
@tubeoffenders riding his nutz, just because you found out about him within the last 2 years makes you look even stupider... ya, fedya's the greatest and im glad you finally kno something about him..
@lanzedom what are you guys arguing about my dad showed me fedor back when he fought heath herring cuz heaths from my dads home town. I know a lot of ppl are just now taking notice but any true fans known about this man for a while. Id say in the arona fight fedor showed more dominace in techniche and in striking and on the ground he reversed most of aronas attempts. so I mean cheated I think not.
@confucious92, arona was the favorite in this fight, he was the adcc hw king...the japanese felt TK would match up better with fedor and TK would get the winner of this fight... this rings tourney was legendary... if fedor got past TK in the semis and randy got past valentin we would of had randy vs. fedya back then.. when this fight happened majority consensus say arona was robbed... now fedya is a mythical figure and new fans can't come to the terms that hes beatable and not a god...
@lanzedom I can agree with you on some of it but I will not agree that he was robbed maybe because of favorites but looking at it. fedor was calm and collected and took advantage of more mistakes arona made. of course hes fucking beatable haha no ones un beatable but right now theres not many that can compete with a man so dedicated. Plus sambo> bjj all day even though I am a blue belt in bjj
@lanzedom uhmmm if you put fabrico the champ in the russain sambo tournaments hed get fucked up. because sambo is more than just the ground game it has a whole stand up aspect and take down aspect which jiu jitsu doesnt have. id put a master of sports versus a black belt in jiu jitsu almost everytime in a mma match or a fight. your statements just one sided of course a sambo practicioner would have a tough time in the adcc but i bet fedor would get to the finals
I remember this fight. Under this fight's judging scorecard takedowns and mounts by themselves gave no points. That's all arona did. The decision was unanimlus because it went to decision and Fedor won clearly according to their scoring rules, that's all.
You can make up 100s of what if scenarios, like what if Fedor was allowed to punch Arona in the face when he was down. A takedown to mount is meaningless in rings if it just leads to being reversed.
@jrsommers... do you agree that in any other org. arona would have won? also I agree on the "IF' thing.. If they were aloud to strike to the head on the floor, don't you think arona would've won? he controlled fedya from top position for 80% of the fight..
So landing 3 punches, defending from subs/superior position, losing every scramble and and being takendown several times more than landing your own takedowns wins you this fight?
Go to 00:51 and then tell me that Fedor would have lost if he striking downed opponents were allowed. Fedor would have been doing a lot of damage at the beginning of the fight, would Arona have performed as well with Fedor strikes to the head from that position? No, odds are if Fedor could have striked him there it would have been over by 1:30 because he would have got a sub.
Regardless, again. Fedor won by the rules of this comp, by the scoring of this comp. "takedowns" don't mean shit.
@jrsommers are you kidding me? watch the whole first round fedor gets mounted, put in side control and is continuously on his back.. if arona was allowed the the 6 point attack, I'd say fedya gets punished in the first... lol at arona getting subbed, the guys was know as the adcc absolute king back then, why do you think he was the favorite in this the fight?
@lanzedom I am not kidding you, you are making the faulty assumption that if striking were allowed on the ground (or the rules were changed significantly at all) that the fight would have gone the same way. Fedor would have used a different gameplan. This gameplan won him a unanimous decision based on rings scoring. If scoring were different he would have fought differently.
Fedor took Arona down first and was in a strong gnp position, the whole fight would have gone differently from there.
we agree not to agree.. just tell me this jrsommers.. why when fedya was just the pride champ, majority consensus say arona was robbed? Now that fedya has reached mythical status, people just can't come to terms that he's struggled and maybe even lossed a fight..
@confucious92 so you think Blagoi Ivanon would tool werdum in mma? fedor is one of a kind from sambo... aside from oleg and aleks how many successfull sambo fighters transfered over? on the other hand, how many base bjj fighters have held titles? nog, bj, royce, arona, aldo, ricco etc.. BJJ transfers over cuase it has the ability to neutralize most aspects of sambo... fedor being the exception...
@lanzedom fedor ya andrei arlovski alexander emilanenko and Kirill Sidelnikov thats about it as serious sambo practitioners go. if mma was as big in russia as it is in the rest of the world you would see a larger number competing. All three of the guys I mentioned are tier one heavy weights except kirill and thats cause hes 20 in 5 years hes gonna be a feared heavy weight. Bjj is great i take it, but a mix of karate bjj boxing and sambo would be the best best mix ever.
@confucious92 AA's sambo was neutralized by big country, the last time we even saw any kind of sambo technique from him was when he subbed a novice level ground fighter in Tim Sylvia... Aleks is done in America or in any legit org. besides m1... Kiril popped for roids after being dominiated by buentello, do beleive he has a shot at MW though... Honestly, just having a base to build off when you crosstrain is the best thing...
@lanzedom he loves to use his boxing hes quite good of course brett rogers and fedor beat him but if he goes to the ground he uses his sambo quite well. and krill popped them to recover from an injury does he really look like hes trying to get big? and he almost never goes to the ground by choice if he had landed on buentello he would have dropped him. and your right having a base is great I just think that mix is the best imho
@confucious92, I like sidelnikov, but I hope he dropps in weight.. as for AA the guy needs to be more dynamic rather than just a freddy roach boxing product. he should use his sambo more to keep his oponnents guessing, rather than exposing his glass chin while standing...
as for aleks..he is the biggest waste of potential ever in mma (aside from ricco rodriguez)... aleks can easily be the #2 hw aside his brother, but his battle with HEP-B will keep us from seeing his world class talent.
we all no fedya is the best.. but new fans beleive he is god.. real fans have seen him struggle (fujita,hunt,ricardo)... he's not god, but a great fighter.. everyones number is called in this sport... and as for fedya being undefeated, fedya himself put it best, "its only for the time being"..
He's not a god, and i know that. But I still fail to see what Arona did to win the fight more than Fedor. Sitting on top of a guy doesn't count for points, especially when you're not doing anything.
so you're tellin me that landing 3 punches, being takendown the whole fight, having your gaurd passed several times, while being held on your back underneath mount/side mount etc. not to mention fighting off more quality sub attempts t... don't forget arona won every scramble..
its funny, when fedya was just prides champ, majority consensus say arona was screwed.. now fedya has all the new fans who blow his balls and won't admit that retardo was the better man that nite...
Well here's the thing: scrambles and laying on top of someone doesn't count as damage. The judges scored it the way they did. Just sitting on a dude's chest and doing nothing while he delivers body shots to you and manages to do more damage to you even though you're on top is pretty embarrassing. Plus Fedor landed more than 3 punches, not to mention he actually put Arona in danger in the fight with his three submission attempts. How many did Arona attempt? Zero, he just laid on top of him.
yea agreed fedor def won this fight, i mean arona was good on the ground, but did no damage and was put in 2 submission attempts, fedor wins standing, and stuff him a bunch of times, arona is nothing special anyways, just a juicer.
I can't enjoy or concentrate on this fight because there are ten or so leaf blowers outside my apartment. Leaf blowing everyday, even when it doesn't need it.
Men, I hear you, civilized society bothers US in every way daily, especially through fellow people who are doing always some sort of activity that stresses US.
First of all I would like to say a big hello to all those Fedor fans who live licking his ass and believe that he is God and unbeatable.The greatest fighter of the moment and that will be remembered for ever is the great AKEBONO selected by the New York sports magazine THE OCTAGON as the number one mma fighter in the world there decision was reached upon this video on the youtube:AKEBONO THE BEST AROUND
according with the NEW YORK magazine THE OCTAGON after very careful consideration by the most respected people in mma circuit the judges came to the conclusion that the best mma fighter ever is AKEBONO placing him in first place second Emanuel yarbrough third butterbean forth ZULUZINHO fifth Fedor Emelianenko when the press asked the judges why AKEBONO they said that a video on the youtube called :AKEBONO the best around -made them reach this decision.
arona lost lol like a bitch boy...Fedor is King laying and praying on someone doesn't win you fights in mma and Aronna was in headlocks most of the time when he was on top and in stend up Fedor smacked Aronna liek a bitch around.
and didn't do anything with the mount. The ref was yelling "Action" over and over when Arona had him mounted. Fedor defended and escaped the mount and had Arona in the the guillotine over and over and dominated the stand up.
ok brother do me a favor... take a peice a paper and stop watch, make marks for every takedown retardo lands, every sub attempt and every scramble won by arona. then take the stop watch and time how long arona is in a dominiant position (mount,side/back control) then do the same for fedor. If retardo was aloud to hit fedor on the ground there would be no disputing. let me know how your score card looks.. because in no way should it favor fedor....
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I don't care what the judging creteria for the Rings org. was... you can get a peice a paper, record every takedown, sub attempt and scramble won by arona.. then you can get a stop watch and time how long ricardo held superior position (mount/side control/or on top).. then do the same for fedya... fedya is the greatest but ricardo out did him in the first 2 rounds..
@lanzedom Fedor landed more strikes and put Arona in more submission attempts. Plus Fedor did more from his back against Arona (landing body shots) than Arona did from the top. Arona did get some takedowns, but Fedor also reversed them a bunch of times. So what did he do to win the fight? At least 3 submission attempts (2 guillotine chokes and 1 leg lock) more landed shots including the big haymaker in round 1, and some good takedown defenses and reversals plus landing more hits than Arona.
I love fedya and believe he is the best, but I won't be biased in judging this match. ricardo held top postition for 80% of the fight, most of wich was in mount, side mount and took fedya's back. ricardo almost triples the amount of takedowns fedya had and attempted way more subs then you mentioned above. ricardo also won every scramble on the ground. at the end fedya is the only one bleeding. don't be bias, ricardo was a blanket, but he was dominant,controlled the pace and executed his plan.
dosnt matter if arona won legaly or not, yea maybe it should have been judged a bit better but comparison facts is if you put arona now a days, or back then in the ring with fedor now a days fedor would KILL arona and I mean rip him apart in pieces fedor has gradualy developed as a fighter by far since this fight, you can tell too, this fight took place 9 years ago
haha,ricardo did best in this and the first round, and was not at all dominant. if laying on top of your opponent and on your back is how you win, arona might have won those two rounds, possibly. fedor had better submission attempts and striking, and yes, arona did spend more time in the headlock than on top in the first two rounds. it takes more than just hanging in there for three rounds to win.
Fuck Arona, this is not a judo or wrestling competetion where points are given for takedown attempts. In this version any takedown equal 0 points. When Arona was in mount position, he just layed with all his chest on Fedor without trying to punch or put Fedor into submission.
Fedor said Bruce Lee was the only person he wouldnt fight. Six years ago he said Bruce Lee would have destroyed him in a streetfight.
Probably because Fedor knows he has only fought with the comfort of a referee and rules to protect him. If fedor was faced with a combat genius Fedor thinks he would be ever so slightly out of his depth. Which is quite right.
Yah Arona just keeps going for takedowns and manages to take Fedor down, but once on the ground he doesn't do anything lol. Fedor did better on the ground and standing up
Arona is good with his take down but he didn't do much with submission hold. On stand up it looks like Fedor had the harder punches and arona had a couple good low kicks. The fight was close but Fedor did try more submission hold so I think that is why he won it.
Fedor is no match to this guy hahaha. His star is going down. He is surposed to lose vs Cro Cop too....but he has a name for now...until somebody beat a shit out of him hahaha. That is going to hapen soon.
rnd 2. Arona finally gets a legit takedown without Fedor pulling gaurd. Arona gets mount and is reversed. Heel lock by Fedor. Reversed to mount by Arona. Arona does nothing. Ref standsem up. Leg kick Arona. Hard combo by Fedor. Arona drops and is stuffed. Fedor pulls guard for choke.
If thats true about rounds 1 & 2 not counting, if thats a rule, then thats gay. That means in Pride or UFC Arona wins. It seems to me like you agree Arona won based on points. Arona won under regular MMA rules.
WTF are you talking about? I love Fedor, go to Sherdog and watch me defend him against any Fedor haters claiming he's now #1. I like Fedor more than Arona but he lost this one in my eyes. He would most likely beat him now but I never count anybody out.
Haha and don't even bother visiting Sherdog anytime soon. Its horrible right now after the Silva / Chuck fight. Non stop UFC > Pride, "Silva sucks", "Chuck is the GOAT", "Chuck is P4P the Best EVAH!" trolling. Sherdog is horrible right now.
In this round Федр has shown excellent technics of impacts by hands. Fine feeling of the contender. Ricardo only also could as to climb forward and to put on Feodor's ring. It does not have normal technics of impacts by hands and legs.
Why the fuck did the ref stand them back up? Fucking bullshit. And this wasn't lay n pray Arona was going for submissions the whole time. Fedor just happens to have great submission defense. Great performance from both fighters IMO. & to all you babies crying for punches on the ground, well, its kinda hard for Fedor GnP Arona when Arona was on top the whole time isn't it?
Clear victory for Fedor, any person who knows about mma knows this, being on the bottom doesnt mean u are loosing, arona did NOTHING to fedor while on top, by the other hand Fedor totally dominated the stand up, reversed arona several times, and got the submision attempts.
I agree that being on the bottom doesn't mean you are losing in general. There is a difference, however, between having someone in your guard (not so bad at all) and being fully mounted (oh so very bad). Fedor was in both situations often. continued...
...continued On the other hand, no one (especially Arona) can match Fedor standing and Fedor is incredible with sweeps, amazingly good at getting out of being mounted, and skilled in resisting submissions. Hence Arona had a very hard time here despite often controlling positioning. I personally feel there was no very clear winner and though I am an Arona fan I believe unfortunately Fedor would win this one quickly in a rematch.
arona mount fedor soo many times and cant do shit. mr. lay n pray at his best. i would of gave it a draw too at best. fedor got a couple good guilltine choke. fedor has alot of good sweeps. fedor went for a leg lock. arona went for kimura. so its fair to call it a draw.
at 3:40 the announcers were confused as to why the ref stood them up, arona was not only mounted but was also going for submissions

@lanzedom what are you guys arguing about my dad showed me fedor back when he fought heath herring cuz heaths from my dads home town. I know a lot of ppl are just now taking notice but any true fans known about this man for a while. Id say in the arona fight fedor showed more dominace in techniche and in striking and on the ground he reversed most of aronas attempts. so I mean cheated I think not.
confucious92 2 years ago
@confucious92, arona was the favorite in this fight, he was the adcc hw king...the japanese felt TK would match up better with fedor and TK would get the winner of this fight... this rings tourney was legendary... if fedor got past TK in the semis and randy got past valentin we would of had randy vs. fedya back then.. when this fight happened majority consensus say arona was robbed... now fedya is a mythical figure and new fans can't come to the terms that hes beatable and not a god...
lanzedom 2 years ago
@lanzedom I can agree with you on some of it but I will not agree that he was robbed maybe because of favorites but looking at it. fedor was calm and collected and took advantage of more mistakes arona made. of course hes fucking beatable haha no ones un beatable but right now theres not many that can compete with a man so dedicated. Plus sambo> bjj all day even though I am a blue belt in bjj

lanzedom 2 years ago
@lanzedom uhmmm if you put fabrico the champ in the russain sambo tournaments hed get fucked up. because sambo is more than just the ground game it has a whole stand up aspect and take down aspect which jiu jitsu doesnt have. id put a master of sports versus a black belt in jiu jitsu almost everytime in a mma match or a fight. your statements just one sided of course a sambo practicioner would have a tough time in the adcc but i bet fedor would get to the finals
confucious92 2 years ago
lanzedom, I am an older MMA fan.
I remember this fight. Under this fight's judging scorecard takedowns and mounts by themselves gave no points. That's all arona did. The decision was unanimlus because it went to decision and Fedor won clearly according to their scoring rules, that's all.
You can make up 100s of what if scenarios, like what if Fedor was allowed to punch Arona in the face when he was down. A takedown to mount is meaningless in rings if it just leads to being reversed.
jrsommers 2 years ago
@jrsommers... do you agree that in any other org. arona would have won? also I agree on the "IF' thing.. If they were aloud to strike to the head on the floor, don't you think arona would've won? he controlled fedya from top position for 80% of the fight..
So landing 3 punches, defending from subs/superior position, losing every scramble and and being takendown several times more than landing your own takedowns wins you this fight?
lanzedom 2 years ago
Go to 00:51 and then tell me that Fedor would have lost if he striking downed opponents were allowed. Fedor would have been doing a lot of damage at the beginning of the fight, would Arona have performed as well with Fedor strikes to the head from that position? No, odds are if Fedor could have striked him there it would have been over by 1:30 because he would have got a sub.
Regardless, again. Fedor won by the rules of this comp, by the scoring of this comp. "takedowns" don't mean shit.
jrsommers 2 years ago
@jrsommers are you kidding me? watch the whole first round fedor gets mounted, put in side control and is continuously on his back.. if arona was allowed the the 6 point attack, I'd say fedya gets punished in the first... lol at arona getting subbed, the guys was know as the adcc absolute king back then, why do you think he was the favorite in this the fight?
lanzedom 2 years ago
@lanzedom I am not kidding you, you are making the faulty assumption that if striking were allowed on the ground (or the rules were changed significantly at all) that the fight would have gone the same way. Fedor would have used a different gameplan. This gameplan won him a unanimous decision based on rings scoring. If scoring were different he would have fought differently.
Fedor took Arona down first and was in a strong gnp position, the whole fight would have gone differently from there.
jrsommers 2 years ago
we agree not to agree.. just tell me this jrsommers.. why when fedya was just the pride champ, majority consensus say arona was robbed? Now that fedya has reached mythical status, people just can't come to terms that he's struggled and maybe even lossed a fight..
lanzedom 2 years ago
@confucious92 so you think Blagoi Ivanon would tool werdum in mma? fedor is one of a kind from sambo... aside from oleg and aleks how many successfull sambo fighters transfered over? on the other hand, how many base bjj fighters have held titles? nog, bj, royce, arona, aldo, ricco etc.. BJJ transfers over cuase it has the ability to neutralize most aspects of sambo... fedor being the exception...
lanzedom 2 years ago
@lanzedom fedor ya andrei arlovski alexander emilanenko and Kirill Sidelnikov thats about it as serious sambo practitioners go. if mma was as big in russia as it is in the rest of the world you would see a larger number competing. All three of the guys I mentioned are tier one heavy weights except kirill and thats cause hes 20 in 5 years hes gonna be a feared heavy weight. Bjj is great i take it, but a mix of karate bjj boxing and sambo would be the best best mix ever.
confucious92 2 years ago
@confucious92 AA's sambo was neutralized by big country, the last time we even saw any kind of sambo technique from him was when he subbed a novice level ground fighter in Tim Sylvia... Aleks is done in America or in any legit org. besides m1... Kiril popped for roids after being dominiated by buentello, do beleive he has a shot at MW though... Honestly, just having a base to build off when you crosstrain is the best thing...
lanzedom 2 years ago
@lanzedom he loves to use his boxing hes quite good of course brett rogers and fedor beat him but if he goes to the ground he uses his sambo quite well. and krill popped them to recover from an injury does he really look like hes trying to get big? and he almost never goes to the ground by choice if he had landed on buentello he would have dropped him. and your right having a base is great I just think that mix is the best imho
confucious92 2 years ago
@confucious92, I like sidelnikov, but I hope he dropps in weight.. as for AA the guy needs to be more dynamic rather than just a freddy roach boxing product. he should use his sambo more to keep his oponnents guessing, rather than exposing his glass chin while standing...
as for aleks..he is the biggest waste of potential ever in mma (aside from ricco rodriguez)... aleks can easily be the #2 hw aside his brother, but his battle with HEP-B will keep us from seeing his world class talent.

its funny, when fedya was just prides champ, majority consensus say arona was screwed.. now fedya has all the new fans who blow his balls and won't admit that retardo was the better man that nite...
lanzedom 2 years ago
Well here's the thing: scrambles and laying on top of someone doesn't count as damage. The judges scored it the way they did. Just sitting on a dude's chest and doing nothing while he delivers body shots to you and manages to do more damage to you even though you're on top is pretty embarrassing. Plus Fedor landed more than 3 punches, not to mention he actually put Arona in danger in the fight with his three submission attempts. How many did Arona attempt? Zero, he just laid on top of him.

ok brother do me a favor... take a peice a paper and stop watch, make marks for every takedown retardo lands, every sub attempt and every scramble won by arona. then take the stop watch and time how long arona is in a dominiant position (mount,side/back control) then do the same for fedor.

@lanzedom Fedor landed more strikes and put Arona in more submission attempts. Plus Fedor did more from his back against Arona (landing body shots) than Arona did from the top. Arona did get some takedowns, but Fedor also reversed them a bunch of times. So what did he do to win the fight? At least 3 submission attempts (2 guillotine chokes and 1 leg lock) more landed shots including the big haymaker in round 1, and some good takedown defenses and reversals plus landing more hits than Arona.
PathmarkPolice 2 years ago
I love fedya and believe he is the best, but I won't be biased in judging this match. ricardo held top postition for 80% of the fight, most of wich was in mount, side mount and took fedya's back. ricardo almost triples the amount of takedowns fedya had and attempted way more subs then you mentioned above. ricardo also won every scramble on the ground. at the end fedya is the only one bleeding. don't be bias, ricardo was a blanket, but he was dominant,controlled the pace and executed his plan.

Fuck Arona, this is not a judo or wrestling competetion where points are given for takedown attempts. In this version any takedown equal 0 points. When Arona was in mount position, he just layed with all his chest on Fedor without trying to punch or put Fedor into submission.

Fedor said Bruce Lee was the only person he wouldnt fight. Six years ago he said Bruce Lee would have destroyed him in a streetfight.
Probably because Fedor knows he has only fought with the comfort of a referee and rules to protect him. If fedor was faced with a combat genius Fedor thinks he would be ever so slightly out of his depth. Which is quite right.

FEDOR WINS
dariusmk 4 years ago 2
I agree that being on the bottom doesn't mean you are losing in general. There is a difference, however, between having someone in your guard (not so bad at all) and being fully mounted (oh so very bad). Fedor was in both situations often. continued...
Soamsey 4 years ago
...continued On the other hand, no one (especially Arona) can match Fedor standing and Fedor is incredible with sweeps, amazingly good at getting out of being mounted, and skilled in resisting submissions. Hence Arona had a very hard time here despite often controlling positioning. I personally feel there was no very clear winner and though I am an Arona fan I believe unfortunately Fedor would win this one quickly in a rematch.
Soamsey 4 years ago
arona mount fedor soo many times and cant do shit. mr. lay n pray at his best. i would of gave it a draw too at best. fedor got a couple good guilltine choke. fedor has alot of good sweeps. fedor went for a leg lock. arona went for kimura. so its fair to call it a draw.
