Fedor EmelianenkoProps: The Sun

Quoteworthy:

“I truly believe [Fedor Emelianenko is] overrated. I’ve heard he picks and chooses some of his fights. You’ve got to wonder why he chose to fight a guy like Matt Lindland –- who weighs 185lbs! I heard he was negotiating with some other people who were heavyweights who would have been more of a challenge to him and he turned those down. He doesn’t have a great shot, he doesn’t have one punch power and to my knowledge he’s never knocked anyone out from his feet standing up. So I think anybody that can stop a takedown is going to be a good fight for him if they can strike.”

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell shares his thoughts on the last man to hold the Pride FC heavyweight title, Fedor Emelianenko. In the article Liddell predicts that Randy Couture would take out the Russian if the two ever lock horns.

i think that chuck would get tapped out or TKOd in the first round easy or fedor would just play around with him for 3 rounds for saying this and dominate him it would be a funny fight like him and quinton number 2.

You guys are all Nuts!! Believe only half of what you hear…especially Chuck liddel, who is a bit washed up himself .
You dont know shit about his negotiations or whether he picks and chooses his fights ..
Dont hate , just congratulate , because Randy Coutoure aint shit, Rampage, liddell,…none of those fools , especially Tim Sylvia…Fedor will Dominate and beatup anyone at will ..I know one thing that is true, and the tapes dont lie……only thing Fedor decides…is when he feels like ending the match…he practices …then just decides to end the match when he feels like it ……Ask Marc Coleman , Kevin Randleman , hahaha …Matt lindland …..
The List goes on….only flaw fedors game has , is he gets cut Eazy….his only loss ever in his weeee youngin days , was because of Cut Stoppage….no worries..why do u think Randy retired again…he doesnt really want to Fight fedor if he still has Any brain cells left……Fedor scares him…randy has never faced an opponent of Fedor’s kinda….Just ask Nogueria …he will tell u how bad it hurts to get Pummled by a Russian Machine …..Id retire too if I were Coutoure …no disrespect…just the facts..tapes dont lie…..Peace ….

Me too!!

Fedor is SOOO overrated. He’s obviously very good but these thousands of guys who’ve only ever seen him fight on youtube HL reels etc think he’s invincible but he definitely is not.
Chuck vs Fedor would be a good fight, but I think Randy would be Fedor’s 1st defeat. Much the superior wrestler and I’d say better striker.

I do not respect Fedor and notice his legacy is built on a very unstable stack of cards. The hardcore MMA fan (including most of the MMA media writers) has built him up to be unstoppable, but I can clearly see he has no real desire to fight the best anymore.

I will admit that I click on just about every Fedor story I see at Fight Opinion, but I guess I am just a glutton for non-stories.

That crud he pulled with M1 Global is laughable. Is this how the “number one fighter” is supposed to act? Just imagine if every MMA played the games Fedor has been playing since PRIDE folded. MMA would be a laughingstock and completely unwatchable.

Chuck brings up a very good point about Lindland. Why did he take that fight? I’ve heard the Fedor fanatics @ Sherdog say it’s because he’s a olympic medalist, but the guy is still smaller than him. And then he tests himself against a tumor enhanced giant next. This bologna is unreal.

Hardcore MMA fans are pathetic if this fraud is their icon.

I guess I’ll be the first voice of dissent. I think Fedor is a top P4P fighter, and a top heavyweight. Does the hype on him run a little thick? Sure, he is not unbeatable. And while I am glad Chuck “heard” Fedor hand picks his fights, there is no proof he actually does. Fedor didn’t want to sign his life over to the UFC, and it looks like it has been difficult to get a competative fight elsewhere. But for all the talk that Randy will beat Fedor, he has been saying he does want this fight. And Chuck can knock Lindland all he wants to. Lindland took Rampage to a close decision, which is more than Chuck was ever able to do. Fact of the matter is Lindland is a tough fight at any weight. And sinc it looks like Fedor may not be staying with M-1, maybe Chuck should talk the UFC into offering him a desent contract, and then sign to fight him.

i dont agree w/ chuck that fedor is overated as far as being a great fighter, i do agree that he is not unbeatable and hasnt fought a decent challenger in years and has pick and chosen his fights for a long while. a good takedown defense would go a long way in beating fedor. i think chuck is trying to position himself for a fight w/ fedor in case he lands in the ufc.

Dude is losing my respect fast…. He has to start fighting some top competition instead of hand picking very, very beatable opponents. I think many of the UFC’s HWs would be a good fight…..Vera, Kongo, even Sylvia. Even some of the UFC’s LH would be a great fight an dpossible loss for Fedor!!!!

2008-09-09 00:18:03

vera would get slapped around.. kongo has absolutly no ground game what so ever and well sylvia?? we all saw what happened to slvia. and freakin nogera is the champ in ufc now and fedors spanked him a few times. anyone who thinks chuck would beat fedor is retared. chuck got ko by rashad evans for hell sakes. and bad too… the odds were in favor of chuck 81% before the fight started. the only people that think chuck would beat fedor are UFC fans NOT MMA fans. lots of fans are like “MMA oh you mean like UFC?” those are the ones who dont know fedor or have only seen him an youtube. look at his fight with cro cop, nogera, sammi shilt, mark coleman, fujita, randalman, richardo arona… he dismantaled every oponent he faced they always looked like they were mauled in the face by a bear. eventually fedor will get caught, everyone has to face a loss, but to say chuck would beat fedor is rediculous. learn MMA, there are fighters outside the UFC. speakin of ufc chuck’s local KKK buddies are going to be pissed 2 KO’s both by black men.

A couple points…

1. Why does Chuck say he doesn’t have a “good shot?” Has he seen Fedor fight?? He doesn’t SHOOT for takedowns like American wrestlers…he gets you up high and takes you down…

2. Fedor is high on the P4P list for me because in reality he’s a UFC LHW that is undefeated at HW over the past 7 yrs. If he fought Forrest, he’d be the smaller man. And he’d be about the same size as Tito, Chuck, etc.

Comon I have great respect for Lidell but this is just ridiculous. He just disrespects fedor and trashtalks him. If you want to challange Fedor then call him out with some respect. If Fedor would call out Lidell he would say smth like – Chuck Lidell is a great fighter i have much respect for him, it would be a honor to fight him.

Any moron can go out and talk shit. I remembered last year around this time of year Chuck claimed that he wanted to avenge his fight with Rampage then beat Wanderlei and Shogun, then move to HW and then beat Cro cop and Fedor all in a 2 year span. Last I checked 1 year has passed and he hasn’t done 2 of the 5.

Hey Chuck, beat rampage first. Start small then move up the food chain.

Chuck has always wanted to fight Fedor, hes just not as verbal about it as he was before….Chuck has said a while back the peole he wants to fight before he retires were, Cro Cop, Fedor, and Rampage, but this was back before he lost to Rampage at UFC 71 or whatever. I think he may know something since he is in tight with Dana and is trying to make some noise to set up a possible future fight MAYBE…

Chuck raises really good points. In his last few fights, Fedor was so desperate to get the fight to the ground that he pulls guard repeadiately. I haven’t seen him throw punches on the feet in I don’t know how long.

Comment by sremmos
2009-08-17 05:45:36

Dom, do you even follow MMA?

Two of Fedor’s last three fights were round one knockouts. Out of 32 of Fedor’s fights, he won twenty two of them in the FIRST round.

Fedor’s natural weight is LIGHT heavyweight he has to GAIN weight for his fights not drop weight.

Fedor knocked Arlovski out, he knocked Sylvia out, he submitted Mark Coleman, he submitted Matt Lindland, he has never been defeated despite fighting opponents with over 100 pounds on him in any way other than the fight being called because of a cut. He later fought the guy who cut him again and obliterated him easily.

Until Fedor is either submitted, knocked out, or at least beaten by a decision, he is the world’s proven pound for pound best.

The fact that the UFC will not fight outside the UFC means that the UFC cannot claim to have the “world’s best” and it definitely can’t make that claim without Fedor.

2008-03-22 12:08:41

But yeah, Chuck definitely beats him on the feet and I could see him getting the KO. Especially given the fact that a guy like Couture (Who wasn’t even top dog at LHW) could do so well at HW.

This is coming from Chuck who has made a career by fighting hand pick wrestlers? and who is he fighting next….Rashad, what a surprise. He wanted no part of Machida so he got Rashad.

Machida could have easily been his opponent, and then they would have had a re match between Shad vs. Tito, but chucky-poo and his camp thought Machida was a bad match up.

Chuck, worry about Rashad, who am I starting to believe has a good shot to beat chuck. As for Fedor, chuck vs. Fedor would be the biggest mistake of Chucks life! FACT!!!

Regardless of who he fights, Fedor would be a heavy favorite to beat any other heavyweight on the planet! Fact!

LHW is stacked compared to HW. I think the only thing that keeps a lot of LHW from moving up to HW is the fear of going up against a behemoth (like Brock) that has to cut weight to make 265lbs. It would be interesting if they created something like a MHW-middle heavy weight, with a max at 225lbs. I think it would be a great promotional thing for somebody, especially the UFC, creating another belt since they have an overstacked 205lb. division.

over-rated chucky, lets not forget you also by way of dana polishes the easier road to winning for you, i mean you have machida or thiago, but they give you rashad, how convenient! YOu talk about matt lindland, he gave rampage a run for his money, but you on the other hand didnt just get beat, but got ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED! and lastly, when you win 28 fights (2 or 3 against current ufc champ noguera) and no real loses, then you can open up your mouth about fedor! show some respect to that kind of record chucky…

I really want to see chuck move up to heavyweight. He has been running his mouth about it for a long time now and I am sick of hearing it, and sick of hearing him talk trash about heavyweighth when he is just hiding behind the fact that the UFC doesnt do mismatch fights.

I wouuld love to see Chuck get the snot beat out of him by Fedor.
Chuck cant beat any tru heavyweights. He cant beat:
Fedor
Nogueira
Barnett
Gonzaga
Arlovski
Brock Lesnar would even kill him
he cant beat Tim Sylvia.

So he should stop running his mouth about heavyweights, since he cant even beat the Light heavyweight champion of the world.

You got to be a real hater no to appreciate Fedor’s skills.

What does chuck no? He still thinks Fedor shoots for takedowns, he sounds like an idiot. all fedor’s takedowns come from body locks…. Chuck, you want to talk trash about people that arent in your division….move up in weight and prove it.
Drink 2 extra beers a day, in addition to whatevcer you drink already, and you will be a heavyweight in 2 weeks!

I can’t understand why everyone thinks Fedor is over-rated. Didn’t he beat all of the Pride heavy-weights, including Nog? Didn’t he win the Sambo championship? I can understand why he might not want to be in a restrictive UFC contract, but I don’t think he is dodging the UFC to avoid the best competition. I believe he would fight Randy and any of the UFC heavyweights in a minute to end this trash talk, if the UFC would let him. There is no reason that the UFC can’t co-promote a fight with another organization, except because they want all of the money and control. Just think if Fedor was fighting for another organization and he beat Randy. All of a sudden, the UFC does not have the best heavyweight in the world and their reputation suffers. Then, all of the other UFC heavyweights will want to go to the other organization. The UFC can’t risk that.

The most single piece of truth I’ve ever heard from a MMA figher in my life. At least someone has the balls to say that Fedor really isn’t all that good. Everyone else is too afraid of fan backlash and therefore won’t exclude Fedor from their own ranking system.

Chuck makes a point but, fedor fought one of the best fights going toe to toe with Crocop and he would keep getting the takedown , now I know crocop doesnt have the best TDdefense but still that was a bad ass fight. myb Chuck could match up well with fedor but if the fight hits the ground
I think fedor would sub him and im a huge Chuck fan

Look at UFC’s HW champion. I love him! But he got COMPLETELY OWNED TWICE by Fedor. Fedor would DEMOLISH anyone the UFC has to offer.

So i’m not sure if fedor is still the same as he was, i know his judo would rival karo’s as best in the ufc but fedor looks weaker than almost everybody else in the hw division.
Arlovski-fedor
randy-fedor
sylvia-fedor
Brock-fedo
any of these id be interested in
HOWEVER
i was thinking these same things about cro cop
Cro cop in my opinion is the BIGGEST disappontment ever in the history nof mma
BIGGEST.

Also, Lindland might be the toughest SoB on the planet, but weight classes exist for a reason. Size matters.

Each matchup is different…I would like to see Chuck vs Fedor in a HW matchup, but I think if it goes to the ground Chuck will be submitted quick, if it stay standing, I can see Chuck getting a TKO or descision win

you obviusly didnt get the point of his statement…he neevr said “he” could beat fedor…hes just stating the obvoius by ducking barnett witt this whole friends excuse…took hong mancho fight in a heart beat…and hes asking for randy cuz he know it may take longer for it to happen and the longer randy sits on the side the better chance fedor has to beat him.

Hey Chuckie…. what about that blown up 185er Jeremy Horn that you fought in the second fight? That was a huge joke of a fight that you conveniently forgot about… and it was for the belt at the time. Chuck’s full of shit…..[/quote]

at that time “bro” jeremy was fighting at 205 for a big hcunk of his career…how do you think he got the match up with forrest? sonnen use to fight at 205 as well. at least chuck fought ligthheavy weights that fought in heavywieght…randy..randellman..vernon white. unlike fedor who has fough many lower weight classes.

i like this sort of stuff. i’m a little sick of fedor’s mythical status when he’s been so far out of competition, and high level competition at that. i don’t know the inner dealings or what his perogative is other than having competition flexibility with regards to sambo, but fedor needs to get his shit together and start fighting some top level guys otherwise all this ‘fedor is p4p #1′ garbage is history. i mean, sherdog still has the guy as their #1 heavyweight….it’s getting stupid. i’m glad people like chuck are calling him out, maybe if the chorus gets loud enough we’ll actually see fedor fight somebody worth fighting.

Additionally, Fedor may be “overrated” but he’s still better than anybody else. He may have turned down Jeff Monson, but that’s because Matt Lindland would have spouted loads of trash talk out of his mouth if Fedor denied him, and that would have been much worse for him publicly. Personally, the only person Fedor has anything left to prove to is Josh Barnett. Even Randy Couture, as “big” a fight as that would be, is out-classed by Fedor in every single aspect of MMA. Striking would result in a prompt stoppage in Fedor’s favor, Grappling/Clinch would result in a throw-to GnP-to armbar, and the same for any match where Fedor ends up on the bottom. Randy Couture doesn’t just lack power, he lacks the style and ability to submit or KO Fedor. He might be able to blanket a decisioon, but the chances of him getting armbarred from the bottom for 5 rounds is pretty high. HE is the overrated one. He hasn’t really beaten anybody except for Sylvia. But like I said, Josh Barnett deserves a chance and with his submission skill, he’s the only one that stands a chance.

why the hell do fighters even talk about Fedor? Fedor has never ever talked down about another fighter, he only says good things about everybody and has tons of respect for anyone that fights. He doesn’t claim to be the greatest ever, doesn’t say he would destroy everybody. Leave the man alone, all that he wants to do is compete and he leaves it at that.

bro… he can fight at 205, that don’t mean he is a 205er….he’s a natural 185er, Horn looks like a fat as when he fights at 205, horn fought at 205 because that is where the bigger money fights were (well that and he was probably being to lazy to cut weight) not because it was the natural fighting weight for him…. Sakuraba fought a bunch of heavyweight fighters, that doesn’t make him a heavyweight….same with Lindland fighting at 205 and heavyweight….

I agree with Chuck. I’ve read Chuck’s new book and I was surprised to find how integral he was to the Fertittas and DW in the beginning. He was even present when the Fertitta brothers and Dana first tried jujitsu (sp? – I’m having a mental block wrt the proper spelling). It’s almost like he was an original partner. I can see now why he has such a lucrative contract.

Chuck cant beat any tru heavyweights. He cant beat:
Fedor

he cant beat Tim Sylvia.

So he should stop running his mouth about heavyweights, since he cant even beat the Light heavyweight champion of the world.

You got to be a real hater no to appreciate Fedor’s skills.

What does chuck no? He still thinks Fedor shoots for takedowns, he sounds like an idiot. all fedor’s takedowns come from body locks…. Chuck, you want to talk trash about people that arent in your division….move up in weight and prove it.

PRIDE Heavyweights were world-class, and definitely was a lot deeper than the current UFC division. I could list all of his opponents for you, but that shouldn’t be necessary considering you made that assumption. Also, Matt Lindland did not fight Fedor at 185. He was at least 200. If he wasn’t willing to put on the weight and talk all of his trash and fight a bigger opponent, then he SHOULDN’T have. He lost. It shouldn’t be held against Fedor that his challenger was a MW.

[quote comment="381650"]fedor looks weaker than almost everybody else in the hw division.[/quote]

If you have watched every fight except the last two, you would know that Fedor is not weak in the least. Maybe you were trying to say he is deceptively extremely strong. He usually overpowers opponents and takes them to the ground before either submitting them or keeping them on the ground with strength.

[quote comment="381650"]
Arlovski-fedor
randy-fedor
sylvia-fedor
Brock-fedo
[/quote]

I would love to see these fights as i’m sure any red blooded fight fan would like to see. I think the majority of his biggest challenges are in the UFC hands down, and the ones you listed (with the exception of Arlovski pending a new contract) and Josh Barnett would surely cement his status as P4P #1 in the world, till someone beats him.

Bottom line, Fedor vs Chuck would be interesting, (Fedor vs anyone in the top 10 is interesting) and as much as i love Fedor and want to see all of the fights listed above… it seems more likely that money talks and we might have to fight through seeing Kimbo and Fedor throw down or Ben Rothwell and Fedor touch gloves before we see any of them. (no disrespect to Ben or Kimbo I like them both)

dont start writing him off hes gone the distance with NOG twice which is very impressive and won both times

id love to see him face chuck or randy

im a huge chuck fan but the comment

“I’ve heard he picks and chooses some of his fights. You’ve got to wonder why he chose to fight a guy like Matt Lindland —- who weighs 185lbs!”

pot kettle chuck

chuck asked for
tito twice
rampage
horn
randy twice
wanderlei
shogun (but shogun pulled out)

rampage down the line

most top fighters have some say in who they are going to fight

lindland is not some chump hes an olympic wrestler

no guy whos 27-0 the cut didnt count should be disrespected

if like KOS you kill someones unbeaten streak like he did to sanchez then fair play but until chuck does that he needs to stfu

i can only see this as an attempt to taunt fedor into signing

dana should run ads of fedor calling him a coward and provoke him into the ufc
DW probably has footage from the contract negotiations that can be easily manipulated

unless dream becomes massive in japan in a hurry and basically replaces pride then fedors only option is to come to the ufc

sadly DW and the rest of the world know it but fedor and his management are holding out
he cant get well paid at the small shows

fighters need to be in the ufc to get the sponsorship and movie deals and so that the world sees their mma legacy

UFC own all his pride fights so unless he signs then its as if his legacy so far wont exist as i dont think he has the rights to the footage of them

if they dont market him as a great champion then after the randy thing is over he risks being forgotten

ask new TUF fans who josh barnett is… no idea
randleman baroni coleman ninja robbie lawler all the eastern former pride guys matt lindland … and countless others

before long more people will know kimbo than the old school pride guys

and for fedor to retain his international fame he really needs to fight in the US for ufc

R u trying to tell me he fought those guys because pride was so crap they had to bring in circus freaks and middleweights to fight him?..there had to have been tougher comp than that. What would you say if someone like gsp fought guyz that he could obviously tool for the past couple of years?..you would say STOP BEING A PUS*Y and fight some real comp or be prepared to loose your top P4P status.

I said he is obviously overrated because when you use LOGIC, any one who thinks that someone is top P4P and top in his division while he has been fighting cans for years, looking impressive against unskilled fighters, has to think that because of their own personal reasons (i.e. he’s their fav fighter, they think even though he fights cans he still has the skill, fighting cans isn’t his fault, his competition is actually good, their blind nuthuggers)using facts and reason to come to a conclusion isn’t ironic at all so next time you post…consult a dictionary first

Chuck did beat Randy twice and Randy beat a couple of guys on that list(pretty convincingly to I might add),so I think at least we could say he has a good chance at beating a few of them. The guy is imposible to takedown and he has one punch KO power. Chuck is not done yet, not many guys beat Wandy like that.

WE want to see him fight TOP HEAVY WEIGHTS. Is that to much to ask. Not some circus clown or someone TWO WEIGHT CLASSES below him. What’s laughable is that you don’t see a problem with the supposedly top HW not actually fighting top competition, going on 3 years and it’s not looking good in the near future either. Matt Hughes was dominating 3 years ago. Things change and there is always a NEW KID on the block that you have to beat if you want to be the best. 3 years in MMA is the difference between night and day (3 years ago Hughes beat GSP, a little different outcome now). Don’t expect everyone to ride on Fedor’s past glory ,because he really wasn’t that dominant(he won,but he went to decision against anyone who was any good)and today is a different ball game. He has to fight TODAY or he is nothing but a has been. A lot of guys are calling him out and he won’t step up. When he starts fighting I’ll start respecting him.

Don’t wanna come off as a noob, but dig this theory:
THE ROID THEORY
Wanderlei gets beat soundly by Tito and never makes a dent in the UFC, then goes to Pride in Japan and rips Rampage a new booty hole. Obliterates the competition. Then Slowly winds down as Hendo cleans his clock in the rematch. He then comes to UFC again, part II, and is a zombie. I mean utterly punchy like Evander Holyfield. He gets soundly beat by Liddell and is on a three fight skid, yet never gets ostericized like Chuck. Wheres the frenetic pace the AX Murderer once set?

Cro Cop is an assassin in Pride and comes over looking like complete dung. Cheick Kongo is TERRIBLE! Yet he builds a name for himself after raping Cro Cop. Seriously, Hendo, Chuck, Rampage, and Anderson Silva would maul CC.

Shogun has severe man teets and gets choked by Forrest!?? IS this the same SHogun that mopped the floor with Rampage? I mean Wandy and SHogun didnt beat Rampage…THEY DESTROYED

Fedor almost gets owned by Matt Lindland, an excellent MW, but still a MIDDLE WIEGHT!!? WTF?

HIM! its apparent that performance enhancers have a 95% chance of being involved with Pride stars. WHy do they suck so bad now? Except Silva, Hendo, and Herring who is now upgraded to Marginal…(Nog is OK but not the savior of the HW division)…FEDOR, like most PRIDE guys is a hype job…JUST WAIT.

Chuck should not be talking crap about anyone when he can’t even represent the UFC like an adult at 37 years old, falling asleep with his half-drunk ass in interviews.

Show some respect Chuck, some guys weren’t just beating up grapplers for the last 5 years.

all you guy who said that fedor is overrated,

i havee a question for you,

if not fedor, then who’s the # 1 heavyweight in the world?

not nougeirav (he got destroyed by fedor twice)
randy? may #2 but not yet #1,he’s still need to beat fedor before he’ll be #1 heavyweight.

Chuck will beat Rashad, but guys – Fedor is so much more than Rashad. Sure Fedor is very selective in picking his fights, wouldnt you if you didnt have the protection and spoon feeding some UFC guys get.

Chuck could defenitly not take on any of the HWs and put on a good show. Brock would plow him through the cage and he would come out the other side of the mesh in little bits pieces. Nog would just take the smacks then twist his arm from its shoulder. Herring would take the punishment and ekk out a decision. Kongo would put his foot through chucks ribcage. Tim would fight the same game and out poke him. Vera might be something that Liddell could stand with.

Brock Lesnar would even kill him
he cant beat Tim Sylvia.

hes a f**king light heavyweight???hello it he suppose to beat guys that out weight him by 30-40 pounds???how u ever seen him fight a fight in the heavyweight devision? he would have a extra 30-40 pound on him, how can u claim u know how good or bad he would fight at that weight?

and second you guys r all crazy….crazy…..even if fedor hasnt been fighting top guys…..he is still a top 3 guy himself if still not the best……im wondering if any if u guys even know who he has beaten????

1-Ricardo Arona(was at his best, handed him his 1st loss)
2-Renato Sobral(was at his best, handed him his 3rd loss)
3-Heath Herring
4-Antonio Nogueira (not once but twice)
5-Mark Coleman (TWICE)
6-Kevin Randleman
7-CroCop (at his bset)
8-Mark Hunt(on some of ur guys top 10 lists he made it..lol)

and alot of no names just like every other fighter—–only difference, Fedor won ALLLLLLLL them too!!!!!!!!!

his Resume speaks for its self……he just wants some CASH for his next big one…….Mayweather and De La Hoya got paid what $20 million for their fight…..

[quote comment="381848"]Additionally, Fedor may be “overrated” but he’s still better than anybody else. He may have turned down Jeff Monson, but that’s because Matt Lindland would have spouted loads of trash talk out of his mouth if Fedor denied him, and that would have been much worse for him publicly. Personally, the only person Fedor has anything left to prove to is Josh Barnett. Even Randy Couture, as “big” a fight as that would be, is out-classed by Fedor in every single aspect of MMA. Striking would result in a prompt stoppage in Fedor’s favor, Grappling/Clinch would result in a throw-to GnP-to armbar, and the same for any match where Fedor ends up on the bottom. Randy Couture doesn’t just lack power, he lacks the style and ability to submit or KO Fedor. He might be able to blanket a decisioon, but the chances of him getting armbarred from the bottom for 5 rounds is pretty high. HE is the overrated one. He hasn’t really beaten anybody except for Sylvia. But like I said, Josh Barnett deserves a chance and with his submission skill, he’s the only one that stands a chance.[/quote]

You all forget that the only reSON Fedor fought lindland in Bodag, was because Randy turned down a 2 million dollar offer to fight Fedor in BOdog!

There is problem with Chuck’s statement. If Fedor is not the top Heavyweight in the world, who is? Randy? Nogueira? Fedor had consistently beaten top heavyweights during his reign as pride champ, including the current UFC champ. Its true, Fedor needs to fight someone relevant in order to hold on to his p4p status. I really hope the fight with Randy gets made, I honestly believe Fedor will beat Randy. Then what will Dana and his puppets say? Randy was Overrated. Some people just sicken me.

Dana and liddells head coach later stated that he had pneumoina or something and had taken a large dose of sedatives the night before
Sedatives make you seem out of it, like you’re drunk and obviously make you sleepy. So before you judge him..do some reaserch and remember he’s human.

And while chuck has been beating up grapplers..at leat they’re quality opponents, top 10 fighters who the mma world recognizes for their skill..unlike the cans and freakshows that Fedor happily fights..and i really don’t want to hear any crap about how he had no choice to fight them..

i don’t know i do agree w/chuck a little, but competition is pretty stiff in mma in all leagues. i don’t know too many fighters that have dominated the way fedor has. so while it may not be the top competition, he isn’t winning any fights by decision, he is destroying them all. he doesn’t seem to be ducking randy at all, he just seems to be business first right now, and i can respect that. i know allthe organizations are doing the same thing so why is it wrong for him?

sorry i have to say that chuck is a crazy bastard. He should beat rampage before he talks about over rated, cuz chuck was over-rated for years as “the best light heavy-weight in the world” before he (rampage) showed up. secondly fedor has a power punch, and he knocked zulu off his feet twice, and the biggest guy chuck knocked down is randy. i’m really sick of this whole arguement that fedor isn’t the best heavy weight in the world. his biggest competition is randy, sylvia, and Nog. and if you want to truely talk about being over-rated let’s talk randy and tim, randy lost to chuck (a light heavyweight) and to Ricco Rodriguez (the worst heavyweight champ ever). Tim has lost plenty of times (to nog who fedor beat twice), to competitors who are nowhere near fedor’s level. Truth is we know that chuck rides dana white’s cock all day, and isn’t a big fan of pride fighters (especially since rampage crushed him). so it’s not a big suprise he would say something like this. But if he wants to talk shit he should try to fight fedor, i’d love to see that, chuck would get smashed and embarrassed, i think he’d probably lose half his fans too.

2008-03-23 21:44:12

Fedor’s legacy may be open to question; but Chuck is hardly the guy who should be questioning another fighter’s opponent list. Fighting guys like Jeremy Horn and Babalu (good fighters, but never the best in the 205 lb. division) doesn’t say much for Chuck. Rampage demonstrated that Chuck has NEVER been the best at 205, so why Chuck criticize a HW champ who actually did fight the best HWs is a mystery.

Liddell needs to worry about his own division. He did well against Wanderlei, but has pretty much sucked otherwise since the 2nd Tito fight in 2006. I think Rashad has a good chance of beating Chuck, and would like to see it happen.

I agree that hes not fighting the best fighters now but he has proven hes one of the best in the HW division. Hes beaten current UFC champion in Nogueira twice, so for Dana to suggest that he isnt even near the best in the world really is a load of bull. He has stated he wants to fight against Randy and would even do it in the UFC if he could fight anywhere else too. Dana should have signed him for a one fight contract.

so chuck, big talk, how ’bout talk with yer little buddy dana and get him to let fedor fight in UFC and then you could get your chance to prove your point about fedor and see how u make out…my guess on that fight is, fedor throws u to the mat and pounds your face in till u decide to quit. fedor fought everyone when Pride was around and didn’t duck anybody. he is loyal to his sambo championship and the ufc/dana won’t allow him to fight anywhere else. it’s not fedor’s fault that dana wants total control of his fighters. fedor isn’t overrated, he just won’t give in to ufc’s demands. i agree he needs a good fight soon and the lack of competition is hurting his status but UFC’s current HW champ got beat down badly twice by fedor. all the name calling and disrespect the UFC is throwing fedor’s way is just going to piss him off and he’ll stay in russia and stay rich and we, the mma fans, will lose out by not getting to see fedor in the fights we want to see.

i never said that chuck is the greatest ever, but to say he is overrated is super stupid. if he is overrated i guess all the guys he has wooped are too. keep in mind chuck is an old bastard now. i’d like to see rampage still woopin up on most of the division when he is almost 40.

Seriously guys….

Just because Chuck has one punch knockout power doesnt mean he is a better striker then Fedor.

E.g. George Foreman vs Muhammad Ali

Ali uses rope-a-dope which causes Foreman to throw his patented ungodly punches to Alis body. This tires Foreman out, then Ali KOs him.

Fedor has superior striking if you ask me, and he is a FUCKING master of gameplans.

He will probably use that same gameplan.

No Fedor probably wont take Chuck down but dont discount the possibility. He uchi-matad an olympic greco silver medalist , so anything is possible. Besides Fedors takedowns are not usually single and double legs. Ive noticed in his fights he loves to throw a bomb, rushes in at incredible speed and either establishes double overs or double unders (he can take down with both, which is chucks disadvantage, he is used to people shooting in on him, or only taking down with unders, this will be something he is not used to). Also Fedor is quicker then Chuck. And also remember Chucks main weapon is his big right, fedor will be more then prepared for that. look what he did to cro cop, who is a much superior and more well rounded striker then chuck (but he does have a weapon of choice, LHK).

i seriously dont see any way chuck could beat fedor.

Chuck is only saying what his x-manager Dana White (AKA LEX LUTHER) and the Fertittas want him to. It’s true that Chuck fought 6 or 7 WRESTLERS in a row in his reign as a top LHW and was then commended for knocking them all out. His experience as a wrestler made his opponents takedowns worthless and his training in Kempo gave him a striking advantage against all of them. To include the former pride/ Pancrase fighter (in which they only allow open palm strikes) Vernon Tiger White as a legitimate striking opponent is ridiculous. When he did face Rampage the first time he was DISMANTLED and the second KO’d. No one has more hand picked thier opponents than Chuck Liddell. (Here comes another wrestler-Mr. Evans please stand up) Kind of inevitable when he has a direct line to the President of the organization. It is not suprising that everything he said is really a criticism on himself.
Fedor has decisively beaten the current heavyweight champion twice. Making him in my eyes the true INTERIM Heavy Weight Champion of the UFC. Couture is still Champ. (Of the UFC)
There is nothing I look forward to more than a Fedor V Couture fight (next to Rampage Silva 3!!!!Do something about that Thai Clinch Rampage) and I honestly don’t know who would win, Randy always suprises to he11 outta me.
I do also agree that Fedor has not had a fight of interest for a long time, although the Hong Man Choi fight was pretty brutal.
Fedor has been ready and willing to fight Randy Couture since last year but has not been willing to sell himself to the UFC. The contract with the UFC that has been offered does not allow him to compete anywhere else. Very difficult for Fedor considering he is the Current SAMBO CHAMPION.
Regardless of how he performs now or later, no one can take away his phenomenal record. (WHY DO YOU THINK RANDY WANTS TO FIGHT HIM SO BAD HE LEFT THE UFC BECAUSE LEX LUTHER WOULDNT LET IT HAPPEN!!!!!). Fedor has proven,to this point, to be the most advanced evolution of MMA along side BJ Penn, Anderson Silva, George St. Pierre and Mauricio Shogun Rua (Pre-UFC) and maybe even Nick Diaz.
If you are still comparing UFC v. PRIDE in favor of the UFC, I do not believe you to be an MMA fan but a UFC fan. So many great fighters have been discovered in both organizations.
If you are a true MMA fan then Im sure you, as I, have seen all accessible MMA bouts to date and would happily look forward to even more organizations being created as this would make the talent pool grow in leaps and bounds. Without PRIDE we would have no Rampage and where would Minotauro have gone for all those years after he left the UFC the first time. Pride took on so many of the fighters the UFC pushed aside and in the case of Wanderlei let him develop his skills and gave Chute Box the notoriety they needed to produce all thos SILVAS and Shogun.(BTW how come they are all called Silva???) I do not like the attempted monopolization of MMA by the UFC as it really only hurts the evolution of the sport. The UFC really limits the ability for truely remarkable fighters to be discovered unless they are first found by other organizations as they are more focused on thier viewership, ratings, and marketability than talent. (Although they have done leaps and bounds for its exposure which may in the end serve the same purpose.)
On a side note. I noticed Silva and Shogun looked emaciated in thier debuts and I didnt think much of it until I read the Cheik Kongo remark. It makes sense. It finally makes sense.

Greetings… this is my first post in the site and, however, all has been said, I just want to give my vote to Fedor, P4P the MMA’s Emperor. Reading comments on a fagget like Liddell, how couldn’t beat Keith Jardine, is a probe of the decadence of the UFC credibility. U want Fedor to come to UFC to watch him fight one time at a year? And after Couture against who? Nogueira again??? Btw I’m Nogueira’s big fan aswell. Cheers to all that pronounce pro-Fedor, for Liddell fag-admirors, I can’t concentrate to writte any objetive comment cuz I’m amusingly watching less-than2min knock TFO RampageVsLiddell…. Btw cool site

Fedor would dominate Chuck. He’d simply out-hustle him…Chuck likes to take breaks and he wouldn’t get one with Fedor. The only one out there who has a legit shot at beating Fedor is the Randy Couture who fought Gonzaga (that was Randy at his best).

chuck has to retire. He got his ass kicked by rampage and he knows that he´ll never be a champ again. Fedor will probably beat him easily in the first round. He´s probably the gay friend of dana white, always defending the ufc with phrases like: pride fighters don´t do it good at the octagon. I would tell him, hey chuck: minotaur nogueira ufc champ was before a pride champ, hey chuck: rampage the ufc champ was before a pride champ, hey chuck: spider silva, was before a pride fighter.

So all you knucklehead Fedor haters think its okay for Fedor to fight Brock Lesner who clearly on fight night out weighs Fedor by 50 lbs after rehydration but oh Fedor is a loser because he fought Lindland whom Fedor out weighed by 35-40 lbs. Your all laughable but not objective. Can’t argue with idiots, I give up…Fedor is the best ever at MMA. The real fans of the sport know this.
