I just have to ask. I see how much he likes to discredits Fedor's accomplishments and I say "Are U F-ing kidding me?!"
Every possible angle for this guy to lose has been presented, from Hearring who was favored, to Schilt, Goodridge, TK, Nog (2 1/2 times) who, by the way is getting his nuts gripped by Dana now that he's in the UFC and will go for the Title very soon.
The reason the Cro-Cop fight was so good because Cro-Cop beaten only when inexperienced in MMA. U can't discredit the magnitude of that fight! It was one of the biggest fights in MMA history @ the time.
Now I get why Fedor isn't in the UFC. The UFC's demands on him not fighting in Combat Sambo and not having a UFC in Russia where the profits are shared is completely reasonable to me (Just think if Fedor got hurt in one of those Sambo matches, It would be like Michael Jordan blowing out his knee in a pick-up game, and MJ never got a piece of the Bull's profits.), but U can't discredit Fedor's accomplishments!
And that BS attack on who's he fought in the last year, hey, Hunt is a tough, tough, guy. Lindland is bad MF-R! I don't care what anyone says, Lindland is a tough opp. for anyone 235 and under. Especially when the Fedor doesn't cut weight. The weight diff is not all muscle.
What I'm saying is that Fedor just wasn't "For Randy" and that he's a "Farce."
Let's take a step back and take a look at the success of the once indestructable Pride Fighters in the octagon shall we...
Herring (1-2)
Cro Cop (1-2)
Sho Gun (0-1)
Nakamura (0-1)
Nog (1-0) *one win over a guy he has previously beaten twice
Rampage (2-0) *LHW Champ
Maximus (0-1)
Werdum (0-1)
Group's combined record 5-8 since entering the UFC. Now with this in mind, is it really hard to believe Dana is saying what most of us are thinking? That just maybe....maybe....the great Fedor might be just a tad bit over rated?
*Note I did not include Anderson Silva as a "Pride" fighter, he has not been in Pride for 4 years, had 4 fights in between coming to the UFC, and by far has had more success in the UFC than he ever did in Pride.
Is there even a point to insulting 'TUF' noobs anymore??? Being that TUF fighters SMASHED two of the top PfP MMA fighters in the world... This year no less!
Dana knows he's full of shit. He has to say that Fedor sucks so that the general public will continue to believe UFC has all the top fighters. It's a marketing ploy.
What's funny is all the people on this forum who have already bought into that bullshit.

No.. 2 of ur Champs are Pride fighter's. No matter how U want to view A. Silva, he never fought in the UFC, and desrtoyed their poster boy (in who I have a lot of respect for still) 2x.
Even still, I'm not talking about those fighters' or even Fedor's success in the UFC (which is now unknown).
This thread was started because I believe Fedor Emianenko has MORE than proven himself.
And Dana is trying to discredit his accomplishments just because he didn't sign him for whatever reason.
U don't undermine a Man's accomplishments, because U DIDN'T SIGN HIM!!!
Forget all the stats, who fought who ect. Here is the real mentality of Dana's comments: He can't get Fedor so put him down and say he sucks. Just like some hot girl in the bar your buddy has no chance at and knows it he talks trash about her about being a slut ect. Don't forget before Fedor signed with M1 Dana was all about getting Fedor, now that he can't get him Dana is putting down Fedor.
I don't care about Dana's F-boms on camera. I don't care that he will suceed in the end, having a great product, much like the NBA,NFL,NHL, and the MLB.
I have a problem w/ him talking sh8 about a guy whose had proven himself to be a great champion. It's BS. Just say U had circumstancual differences and the deal couldn't be made.
Don't knock a guy's accomplishemnts. U look like an a-hole after trying so hard to sign him. And that was "For Randy" statement doesn't fly either..U know U wanted to sign him Dana.
