Within 40 seconds, Chael had been knocked down twice, his takedowns stuffed and then fedor had reversed a takedown in midair and was on top. What a whirlwind. Levels of difference

[@truthtopower420]

Fedor almost did a cart wheel to escape the takedown! It was insane 😮

[@richterbelmont5506]

​@@truthtopower420he's Russian, that's how you defend a takedown over there. Very sophisticated

[@NegotiableHemingway]

I saw fedor tap at least 50 times during the match. I remember fedor just quitting so that means uncle Chael is still 430-0

Chael disagrees with you completely but what does he know, you are the expert

Proud of you chael. I watch every show and interview you do. Just wanted to say thanks for the fights and content. You are one of the best ever and never turned down a fight despite odds. You have helped progress the sport and continue to do so. You will be a future mma hall of famer. I hope you get a shot at the 205 belt or 185 in bellator.

[@takecareofyourunderwears7790]

He'd not be able to make 185 lol but he could certainly make 205.

[@jv1240v]

He fought 185 most of his career. I think he could still do it. I feel he matches better against mousasi then bader at the moment. I love Gerard but chael could grind him down.

[@takecareofyourunderwears7790]

I know he did but I'm 100% sure he can't go back at that weight. And come on Mousasi would tear him apart easily.

[@jv1240v]

Take Care Of Your Underwears Both are hard match ups but I feel like he has better tools to fight Mousasi. Strangely enough I think Mousasi can beat Bader.

[@takecareofyourunderwears7790]

Mousasi destroys Bader obviously.

[@2vintage68]

Chael is a standup guy, and classy. I just watched this fight for the first time. He has nothing to be ashamed of that is for sure.. He was up against one of the best fighting machines of all time.

[@FromPlToNy]

Almost every fight that Fedor is in somehow turns into a dog fight, this is why he's so fun to watch, pure chaos, going for the finish.

[@lordjimbo2]

Even on the rare occasion that the pressure builds, you have to keep watching because you never know when it's going to go nuclear. Like the Mitrione fight - three minutes of nail-biting circling followed by two ICBMs hitting head on. It was what everyone always hopes will happen in a slow fight but never does.

[@jamestodd1104]

Devon R B Sow the wind, and you shall reap the whirlwind

[@FedorManiac90]

In a fight, Fedor really is a Tiger. You just encroached on a Tiger's territory, you need to shoot a Tiger with a powerful gun or you'll be killed. Chael didn't have the big gun.

To all of yall not having fun with the "undefeated" jokes: Chael's attitude coming off that fight is the best why to bounce back.

Literally, no one in the comments is not in on the joke. Chael's comments have more meme magic than a 4chan Wizards convention.

Ezra Steffen He's really not a bad fighter, as legit beaten some great fighters, so it makes the jokes fun.

I understand both of you. Some MMA fans just don't know how to be light-hearted and have fun, that's what prompted me to post this.

[@matangox]

@@jimmyweez2992 The only two top guys he didn't face were Couture and Barnett. He would've destroyed both guys at that time. Couture didn't have the style to beat Fedor. Maybe Barnett could do something, but I doubt it as he was defeated 3 times by Cro Cop in Pride and wasn't really the top contender he became later. Actually the Barnett that beat Frank Mir was probably better than the young Barnett in Pride.

[@happydays6649]

Hey Chael! I don't know if you ever read the comments, but if you do, I want you to know that even though I am Russian myself and a great fan of Fedor, I am grateful to this tournament for getting to know you. I have watched lots of your podcasts and can tell that you are a very smart and cool man. I think you deserve a decent management position in Bellator or UFC. And... you said you hadn't seen the punches coming. That's because they came during your own attacks and human's brain is arranged so that we cannot control two actions simultaneously, I.e. when we attack, we cannot defend ourselves. But it's just details. Anyway, I'm wishing you all the best, man!
