i've read alot of people on here saying fedor wouldnt beat brock, or fedor wouldnt beat mir, this is crazy! he is #1 and IMHO would submit or KO each and every person (or bear) on this planet.
What made him #1?
Avoiding the top competition in the UFC?
Beating Zulu Jr.?
Beating fat pro wrestler Nagata?
Beating up on UFC wash out Tim Sylvia?
Beating an up and coming but not battle tested Brett Rogers?
He was #1 a few years ago, but he has avoided the top competition.
Oh he's #1 because he got busted open and had to cheat to beat the smaller Matt Lindland. OK
I usually just lurk, but honestly man, 6/19/02 and you feel it is appropriate to start a topic like this ...
Please tell me you were going through your older brothers notebook and found his UG email and password ...
he is #1 IMO and always will be until proven otherwise, he has beaten everyone whos anyone, thats more than what u can say for Lesnar or Mir.

HIS LAST FEW FIGHTS ARE ON THE SAME LEVEL AS LESNAR'S.
FEDOR HAS THE BEST TIMING IN THE HW DIVISON AND ARGUABLY THE SPORT. TIMING IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT FOR A FIGHTER TO HAVE. THE ONLY GUY WHO MIGHT HAVE BETTER TIMING IS A. SILVA. GRAPPLING TIMING AND STRINIKUNG TIMING

LOL @ U only lurking, uve only been a member since december anyways.
Also i think it is very appropriate because i read all this non sense about how lesnar and any top UFC guy will beat fedor and it makes me laugh.
irishrottie - never been beaten, hasnt been the distance in 5 years, last 3 opponents top 10, 2 of em top 5, barnett would of made it 3, werdum is top 10.
This.
heycanismashyou - he has beaten everyone whos anyone,
Tell me, when has Fedor beaten Mir, Lesnar, Barnett, Cain Valesquez, Overeem, Couture or Dos Santos?
irishrottie -, last 3 opponents top 10,
You know Fedor fought Brett Rogers in his last fight.
Brett Rogers is a tough fighter but no way was he top 10 when fighting Fedor.
xcouturefan -heycanismashyou - he has beaten everyone whos anyone,
Tell me, when has Fedor beaten Mir, Lesnar, Barnett, Cain Valesquez, Overeem, Couture or Dos Santos?
he hasn't but who has? he will probably face overeem and barnett this year.
the better q is: why would you put couture on that list? big nog and vera nearly koed couture. fedor would kill him.
If not Fedor who's then??
thatk the question you "fedor ain't#1" guys never answer....
Xcouturefan, Cain Valesquez has recently become relevant, Couture is amazing but lets be honest he lost to brandon vera and fedor has never lost a fight, Frank Mir lost to brandon vera, and Barnett lost to big Nog, who fedor beat multiple times. So Fedor is big daddy, end of story.
billcosbiguez -

^^^^Legit LOL.
I've been hearing that for the past 3 years.
Fedor haters, its so easy to prove all us Fedor "nuthuggers" wrong, just simply name a HW who has fought 3 better opponents then Fedor in their last 3 fights, this should easily make them deserving of number 1. Cmon shouldn't be to hard......
Yea I would like him to face some of the new blood in the UFC, but lol he still has a better last 3 fights then any HW so stop being idiots.
Dream is setting up Barnett vs AO and the winner faces Fedor, and LOL at Couture who wanted no part of Fedor, especially when it took Randy 5 hard Rds to beat Tim. After seeing that 36 second mauling, he avoided him at all costs, smart move Randy, you do nothing better in the ring.
two fights that's important, Lesnar and Barnett.
This was so obvious and bound to happen, I called it way back.
It happens in cycles. First Fedor was ducking Arlovski, Sylvia and Randy. Once he mowed down 2 of them everyone respected him as the best again. Then a few months later some new guys got a couple of wins and all of a sudden Fedor is a total joke, only fought bums and jokes and until he fights the guys that have only just become relevant top dogs in the last few months, he is ducking everyone and isnt shit. On top of that if you are an up and comer big wins only count if they happen in UFC, see Carwin and Rogers for a perfect example of this. Carwin is legit but Brett isn't.
If Cain had stayed in SF, Brock had stayed with K-1, JDS signed with SF, Werdum stayed with UFC, Arlovski stayed with UFC, Rogers signed with UFC. Then Fedor would still be ducking the real comp and only fighting bums.
yea it's the same story, new day, the haters will try to find anything to discredit the guy. I compared him to the likes of Jordan, Bonds, Mayweather etc, people either love him, or love to hate him because he's so good.
just LOL @ him not being ranked #1, n00bs like mas0n will never understand
don't waste your time, it's the same thing every day, the haters will claim Fedor hasn't fought top young guys like Cain and JDS. Some of us use examples of other top fighters with better resumes, it goes back and forth, Whistle Blower comes in for a short beat down.
Haters start reverting to name calling, fuck resumes, he aint shit unless he's in the UFC blah blah blah.... a few days from now, something like this will happen again.
