thegrundle - shut it xcouturefan, u do realize troll topics like urs here are ruining this website? and if ur not trolling plz stop watching mma.
I'm not trolling.
I've been watching and following the sport on a daily basis since UFC 5. If it wasn't for people like me the sport probably wouldn't have survived the dark days. Writing politicians and cable companies in support of mma, driving 6 hours to watch live Extreme Challenge shows.
ok seriously if thats the case, Why bother with this thread? Yo do realize that this thread is made 3x a week for the last 4 years?
lol @ people trying to discredit his wins over Sylvia and Arlovski. Meanwhile, the last UFC HW title fight was between Frank Mir and a 3-1 pro wrassler. Just a year earlier, these were the guys Fedor was "ducking" by not signing with the UFC, then he drops them both in the first round and all the sudden they were on a "career downslide". Yeah, they were, and Fedor sent them there.
I really don't think anyone doubts Fedor is great fighter. Maybe and thats a maybe the best HW.
Yes he has beaten good competition. The big problem is the HW division is not stacked and deep in top talent like other divisions where you can beat 4 or5 top, top guys.
He HAS to fight the best HW's now which is in the UFC. No one should argue this. Rogers is probably the only guy he can fight outside the UFC. If anyone mentions Overeem as a challenge I'll puke.
Fine. Rogers may not be the best, but its not like Brock and Cain have proven to be FAR better. All these guys that u say Fedor MUST prove himself to,, uh-uh. This has been said forever now... STFU already.
