He’s FAT.
Siciliano di Brooklyn - Mir is going to kill Fedor. I predict kimura/armbar after almost KO'ing him.
Mir by non invasive shoulder reconstruction.
Then the fedor goat debate can finally take a hit
BrckNoHitBk -touch -BringBackGoldy -Do they have kangaroo meat in Chechnya?
Guy on right head is so small. wtf. lol
My guess is he was genetic dispositioned to be one of those guys that are 5’7” and 135lbs soaking wet. Steroids had other plans.
Frankie Peace is going to piece up the GOAT.
Fedor should have hung it up in 2010. I don’t care to see Mir complete the trifecta of destruction of Pride legends
touch -BringBackGoldy -Do they have kangaroo meat in Chechnya?
Dude on the left has a tiny had. It's to the point of being distracting.
Pullimg for Fedor but I think he is just chasing payments at this points
Tim Duncan -Pullimg for Fedor but I think he is just chasing payments at this points
Yep but why? Didn’t he retire pretty wealthy? I have t enjoyed Fedors fights for years, he’s a shell of his former self

Fedor is no longer affiliated with M1. I’m pretty sure Vadim ripped him off for years and got away with it.
Putin should sponsor Fedor’s camp for this one if Kadyrov is going to be hooking Mir up like that.

What?
Father Time always wins in the end, and Fedor’s prime is long behind him. So is Mir’s too of course, but a “legend’s fight” doesn’t undo what they did in the past! So sick of the naysayers

Hate when people trash a fighter when they are 25% of what they once were.
People love to trash fighters before they hit their prime (Pico recently) on the way up, and then once they have declined (Fedor lately).
No matter what happens in Fedor vs Mir, it tells us nothing about what would have happened in their primes, both are so far removed from their prime, it is nonsensical to pretend a 2018 says anything about what would have happened in 2008.

Fedor is no longer affiliated with M1. I’m pretty sure Vadim ripped him off for years and got away with it.
IIRC, M-1 was paid for Fedor fights, not Fedor himself.
I don’t see how that could get fucked up.
I saw a show 2 or 3 years ago, and Fedor and his family lived in kind of a crappy apartment.
He’s obviously fighting to pay the bills now. Isn’t his wife managing him now?
This whole Chechen MMA connection is creepy

Yep. Fedor received 10% of M1’s incomes, which for a few years was only Fedor fights. So when he was getting $300k-$500k per fight, he was actually taking home $30-50k. For his entire prime. And those shitty training camps put on by Vadim, with no BJJ black belts, no wrestling coaches, just Fedor and his teammates hitting tires, kickboxing, and doing some light judo.
His prime, amazing as it was, was cut short by bad management.

They didn’t have a BJJ guy in camp to train for Werdum. They offered the gig to Vinny M, but wouldn’t pay him, they told him it should be an honor to train with Fedor, and he told them to go fuck themselves.
Also, one of Fedor’s coaches told my friend after the Affliction fight with Arlovski that Fedor didn’t even have 2 consecutive weeks of camp because his management had him doing worldwide media. He was legit in Brooklyn 3 days (and 2 timezones away) before the fight with Tito Ortiz doing Russian-American media, eating blintzes, and signing books for kids. What an absolute shit show.
Vadim was fine at first. He paid for Red Devil Team and Fedor had Aleks, Zentsov, Sergei, and other guys to spar with. A few years later, Imperial Team was a bunch of little guys, Fedor, and Baby Fedor.
Imagine if he had proper training partners all along.
And IIRC, Fedor had to be vested with a certain amount of fights under M-1 to become a 10% partner. Did he ever reach that number?

Wow, never knew his management screwed him THAT bad.
Bobby Lupo, how much of Fedor’s decline would you base on apathy and father time, versus the BS his management pulled re: lack of training partners/camps etc.?

Wow, like him or not, Dana always maintained that “Vladummy” and Fedors management were screwing Fedor and he would have made out much better with the UFC than mixed up with M1 and all that bullshit.
I assume that billionaire that owns Fight Nights Global paid Fedor well for that fight, sure Rizin gave him as much as they could and I bet Viacom is giving him a nice payday.
