he countered the greco roman silver medalist so easily that was a thing of beauty
Beautiful uchi mata. I'm sure Fedor trained his judo pretty heavily for this fight.
The supposed rope grab had no bearing on the reversal. It was a thing of beauty.
pure wrestling throw and to do that to a guy like lindland makes it just that much more pretty
"that was obviously a BJJ technique "
It drove me crazy how all night the moron lead commentator would go on and on about Fedor's Brazilian Jiu Jitsu skills.
at least he wasn't calling it jitsu jiu brazilian
catch wrestling, imo
I think Carl Gotch, as a ghost, visited Fedor and taught him that throw.
I'm pretty sure it wasn't a double leg take down
Future Gracie Magazine News:

Farmer Burns, imo.

or JITS
I love how he totally owned Lindland in what was supposed to be his forte: The Greco Roman take down.
No wonder Lindland's boys here are up in arms tryingto say a fictitious rope grab sapped Lindland of his take-down and submission defense skills.
fedor did a classic and basic counter in judo: over grip uchi-mata. surprised lindland was so clueless about it.
