I did see Carwin beat Mir. You are aware that that fight happened last night and the comment of mine you respended to was posted before that fight, when it was true that Rogers and Carwin were identical.
Yes, now Carwin is ranked higher. However, if Rogers knocks out Overeem, they'll be comparable again.
He is not trying to claim to be the best. He has said numerous times that he doesnt care. And he has already done enough for mma. He has nothing more to prove.
Just to mention Russia and USA always had some disagreement over all sorts of stuff since long time ago but hey look at Americans they like Fedor more than they like their own fighter. Respect!
you know what would truly be the greatest thing fedor could do? he could do something for mma that could truly solidify his legacy by being the first and last truly HW champion by winning all 4 HW belts of significance. He's still the pride champ, now the wamma, will for sure win the SF championship and then if he's still undefeated to take on UFC champion for the biggest mma fight ever. Let rogers fight for the SF belt which he will win and then have the rematch, champ vs champ. Think about it.
Even if he retires tomorrow he will be remembered as great fighter. I don't speak about pound-for-pound and all this kinds of comparisons because this is very difficult to prove (not only for Fedor, there are a lot of great fighters).
Mir is overated since his win against a sick Nog. Couture is old. Lesnar is a new guy with a lot of power. Carwin is not bad. Cain is good. Fedor would handle all these fighters I think. Still, there are 3 interesting fightd in the ufc fotrFedor: Lesnar, Carwin and Cain.
its disgusting what UFC did to Pridefc. Buy it out, dismantle it then destroy it. THEN grab Wanderlei Silva make him put a Pride t-shirt on adn make it Pride vs UFC. Yet they had already killed off Pride Just bs.
You keep saying your not the best until you've beaten the best? Fedor is #1 the best so why would he try to break his back and try to fight people who are ranked lower then him? The people ranked lower then him should try to fight him not the other way around.. also UFC doesn't have the best fighter's and the pride people who have fought in the UFC have had wierd stuff happening to them.
it could've happened if Dana wasn't such a jerk. Look how Quinton came out of UFC. they do treat the fighters like a slave. If they really want Dana could let his fighters fight where Fedor is.
they offered fedor a contract with, if he loses or performs badly they can educe his purse, and if he wins ufc title he has to extend his contract until he basically washed up and loses. look hat they did to werdum too, loses to santos then hes out, thats why strikeforce is so important
yes! look at Randy Couture and Quinton Jackson. NOW it's Dan Henderson!! All three have had problems with Dana White and the UFC! So why blame FEDOR for not signing with them???? WHY?? Fedor is Smart Not to!!! Dan Henderson is gonna join Strikeforce!!!
That's fucking true man. People knock Strikeforce for being amatuer compared to UFC, but simply look at the fighters. SF: Fedor, Rogers, Overeem, Werdum, Mousasi, Henderson, Arlovski, Manhoef etc. Sure UFC has many more fighters and thus more allegedly great fighters, but SF has the single best fighter. These UFC lapdogs need to get their heads out of their asses and give credit where credit's due.
You do realize that Strikeforce is Fedor right. Every time he fights he gets the dick sucking nuthugger train in the ring with the Strikeforce cast. Also guys like Rogers dude? He was working in Walmart last year, yes Walmart. Many UFC fighters have been fighting for close to a decade and if not they are either a jiu-jitsu champion or wrestling champion.
Many of you people better not EVER buy a house or car because you will get ripped off. Your easily sold.
Rogers's record is virtually identical to Carwin's, both in number and in content. All you UFC lapdogs have are your double-standards and your ravings of having "the best fighters" while Strikeforce actually has the BEST FIGHTER! Plus, Strikeforce has just as many top 10 HW fighters as UFC does. UFC does have an overall higher number of great fighters, but it does not have the very best :)
who cares if they're not wrestling or jiu jitsu champions? look at GSP who was never even in high school wrestling and look at him now "welterweight champion" you are such an idiot
You sound like a guy who would make excuses for being fat or having a drug addiction. Dana white offered Fedor 30 mil which is WAY more money Strikeforce would ever pay him to fight in the UFC. He also was allowed to compete in his gay Sambo shit in Russia nobody cares about. He wanted to co promote with M1 Global and Zuffa said no.
Fedor would be smart to get into the UFC and try to gain fans from the America's. The guy is just either dumb or dodging the UFC.
@Warpath2198 Fedor Does not Care about the UFC and IF they have the best competition. If you watch the Showtime promotion about Fedor's camp and Rogers camp, you will see what Fedor believes in! he stated that every fighter "has relatively the same chin. He will be hunting mine i will be hunting his." Which goes to show that Fedor does not believe there is a best fighter, not even him. Anderson Silva also says the same thing.
tito ortiz and frank shamrock had their problems, too. frank said that he never goes back to ufc as long dana white is the manager. tito still hates him.
I'm not saying fedor hasn't fought anyone good! I'm just saying he hasn't fought the best! It's not like Fedor is passed his prime, he is only 32 years old! How come he absolutely refuses to fight Brock Lesnar? Frank Mir? Even Randy Couture doesn't back down and he is 44 years old! He is NOT the best heavyweight untill he has beaten the best. That's a fact. And for the record I am 18 and probably have more knowledge than you'll ever have. Hit me back.
hahaha u make me laugh kiddo,,, ur 18 and ur dumb,,,, FEDOR hasnt fought the best what u smokin,,, my question is who is the best guys ur talkin,,, about couture is to old,,,, it would be to easy for fedor,,, mir fedor would beat him brock standing up fedor would give him problems on the ground submission,,, and then what who other opponent could possibly beat him,,, i dont see any,,, u americans are so brainwashed that u think if he isnt in ufc he isnt the best wtf,,,, fuck u and ufc,,,=)
You saying he hasn't fought the best? Basicaly Fedor is the best. So if there is anyone he is going to fight, the opponent will try to take his title, the No.1 title. Lesnar is good at his game but he is No.3 or 4 in my opinion. If Lesnar going to fight Fedor he will be trying to take No.1 title and not opposite. Fedor has best record and fought 2 of top 10 HW's this year and guess what he won. And he will be continue proving but he can't fight everyone at the same time, as you understand?
Are you guys kidding me? Ofcourse he has that record, he isn't fighting the best in the business. It's like i start doing MMA and beat up 31 8 year olds, YEAH I HAZ RECORD IM BEST! And face it, Anderson Silva is THE best pound for pound fighter in the world. Period.
Look man, I dunno what age are u or what knowledge on Fedor you have or in MMA in general, but saying that the people Fedor has beat are not the best in his time, is something really stupid, why don´t you go and see who these fighters are and who have they fought.
Fedor fights top competition. Lately, when he fought Arlovski, Arlovski was ranked number 2, he should have fought Barnett who was ranked number 2 as well. He is considered the best in the world. If another guy wants to prove he is the best, he has to come to Fedor. Plus, Anderson Silva is a very good fighter but does fight the top level. 185 division is weak. There are Marquartd and Hendo. Be carefull, Belfort can surprise him
Best Heavyweight? Absolutely. He has never been defeated and has won 30 times. Lesnar is new to the game at 4-1. Fyodor has fought twice the level of competition as Lesnar during their respective past five bouts, and his next opponent in Brett Rogers is ranked higher than Shane Carwin. So who's the real HW Champ?
dude dont u understand this...fedor is affliction and m1 globals golden boy....they gavem fights to make his record good...hes fought no 1 thats really impressive his career is going to die because hes to scared to fight the best..he doesnt want to ruin his record he'll quit with a good record and claim to be the best..but eventualy he'll be unknown and no 1 will care cause he never fought in the ufc
I highly recommend you watch his career, from start to finish. That is what I base my belief that he is the best fight on -- not propaganda, not Dana White, not hearsay, etc. I watched his career start to finish, and I believe he has truly been through the most while still managing to always come out on top.
Please go watch his career. You clearly haven't done so to suggest he hasn't fought top level competition. He's even 7-0-1 against UFC Champions (either before or after their fight).
Best P4P fighter? Absolutely. Fyodor fights at his natural weight of 230 to 235 pounds, though he could easily cut to 205. He is almost always lighter than his opponents, and has fought people up to 120 pounds heavier than him while still winning every time. Anderson Silva walks around 10 pounds lighter than Emelyanenko, yet fights down at 185. The Spider should try fighting Emelyanenko, where I think he would get stomped -- or at least fight at his natural weight of HW. GSP thinks Fyodor is #1.
he said he wants to be remembered not like a honest russian man only, but as a PATRIOT ( it was not translated by the woman). I'm proud i live in same country with this man. Fedor you are national russian proud.
This is the stupidest statement toward him anyone could make. The first reason that Fedor is Fedor because he is not afraid of anybody, do you homework better.
lol hes afraid of velasquez?carwin?lesnar?mir?honestly the guy who can make a great fight is nog if he's fit,another thingif dana makes u think those guys are the best in the world show that hes very good at what he does hyping fighters,dude what credebility ufc wants when they match a possible title holder (nogueira) against mir,one week after nog got out of the hospital w a stomach infection,and on top mir wants credit for winning?ufc has great fighters but not in the hw division
Just look at how he wants to be remembered - Honest Russian person.
How great person he is...that is really irreplacable.
I'd like trash talk and sell out called Frank Mir to hear this and realize that he will never be 0.1% of Fedor both personality wise and fighter wise, and to realize that he's the one throwing SAD statements...very sad, materialistic, arrogant and egoist statements unlike super humble and nice Fedor.
