Even Ariel brings up politics, which the email leaks being used for the anti trust lawsuit kind of show he's right.

@@hyper550 Fedor was the best in fighting and wrestling while other fighters are only good at one thing. He is definitely the best.

[@bruisersdilemma354]

Part of the reason he was undefeated for nine years is because he was the cash cow and hero in Russia. It's the same as boxers who go 106-6, (Julio Cesar Chavez) because he was a hero in Mexico and they weren't giving him anyone that could beat him. Fedor is absolutely the man in many respects, but he in his prime would have trouble with many a current UFC fighter because the sport has progressed fifty-fold since his heyday...

The only time he fought people who were at their peak and at UFC levels, he lost 3 fights in a row.

Buddy he didnt discredit Fedor. He said Anderson was p4p no.1 and gsp was 2. Fedor was still one of the best but you cant put him at the top of the p4p heap when you fight in the B league. Come to the ufc and prove your mettle against the best competition. No matter the sport you cant call yourself the absolute best when you compete in the 2nd tier leagues, simple as that. And that's the reason Stipe is the HW goat not Fedor.

[@panic_diver]

@@poopyanalbumhole Top fighters get paid in millions and I don't see most fighters complaining. What slavory are you talking about, that's capitalism through and through, you make what you generate. Dont expect a rookie to make millions in a league that is just 30 years young and you need to reinvest in a growing business. Fighter pay is increasing every year. Stop parroting that same tune and learn how business works, fighters now make 20 times what they did in the 90s and in 10 years they will be making 10 times what they make now. I think dana is a sleazeball and could pay more but he isn't paying them unfairly less otherwise fighters would not be clamouring to get In the ufc. Media is overblowing this pay narrative and people like you are sheepishly following suit. If the pay was this bad ufc would be failing not booming to become one of the biggest leagues and fastest growing sport in the world. Fighters would be leaving left and right to find better alternatives. That all aside, Fedor competed in the B league and that is a fact. If you took his nuts out of your mouth maybe you would be able to see that. Nobody trashed him, apparently calling somebody one of the best but not the p4p king is trashing him, clown.

He even beat a Olympic Gold Medalist in Judo in Pride. Stipe Iam not even gonna mention his wresling credentials when DC isnt even better a grappler then Fedor. Submission wise just look at the Randleman fight tell me could DC do the same after getting head spiked? No he couldnt. Fedor in his prime was the best HW fighter. He had a granite chin, great cardio, ko power, great grappeling, mentally you couldn't break him, great boxing and his hand speed bro his hand speed even today is still extremely fast if not the fastest still and he is what in his 40s?
