LMAO!!

"Tito Ortiz could KTFO him if he wasn't injured or something"- ha ha that was the best part.

Fedor doesn't cut any more easily than anyone else. If someone else took the exact same shots, they would be cut too. The punch from Fujita would have taken out most fighters, but not Fedor. He actually has a strong chin. That's why he's never ever had a beat down. I don't think any other figher can say the same.

NWCrazy

The cage isn't a weakness...he hasn't lost in the cage. "If" <big "IF"> he should lose in a cage, then it may be considered a weakness.

TapOrNap

The cuts he received probably would have occurred to anyone in the same situation. But with Fedor the only thing that has stopped him are cuts, so that would be the only weakness anyone has seen.
But I predict his inexperience defending elbow strikes may be exposed as a weakness.

Elder

While striking is a definite strength for Fedor, I also view it as a possible weakness as well. He isn't afraid to slug it out. This could mean he might be more open to the one-punch knockout. Granted, when Coleman tagged him quite hard at the beginning of one of their bouts, Fedor was quick enough to transition into something else. But what would transpire if he got hit by a harder hitter cleanly? We are talking about possible weaknesses here. I am just saying his style could possibly get him into trouble in the future. Then again, it is difficult for anyone to avoid that type of punch in the HW division at the moment. Even Couture is rocking people at the beginning of his fights. No fighter is immune to it.

ha
tru he has no weakness. althoug i also agree Gabe Gonzaga has a chance in the future because he looks like he will be real good with some experience, i think Randy has the best shot. he has the ability to take you away from your game and just pound you out. Also he always finds a way to win. i cant see any other HW having any real shot because IMO its 1-FEDOR 2-RANDY

IrishRage

Cuts are his weakness but he fights through them all the time , and Its almost natural for him doesn't bother him one bit , as long as Its not a cut that force the fight to end I wouldn't consider that a weakness . What moron fighter would love to beat the great Fedor by a stupid cut ??? Not many true fighters would want any fight to end that way nevermind to a guy like Fedor. Everyone talks about him not having much weakness In his MMA game but Its not true even he will tell you that he works on things after every fight to not repeat a mistake the next time , he just happens to be soooo good In so many areas his oppoent always have more glaring weakness's which he takes full advantage of , and his greatest advantage over most Is how mentally calm he Is no matter what , and thats something he was born with. Russians have been trying to firgure out how to beat the guy In Sambo for years and years with about as much success as MMA fighters .

GOODLUCK TO ANYONE

His perhaps only weakness has said many times already in this thread, so no need to repeat that

BispingKO

No one can beat Fedor. The only way I can see Fedor losing is if he doesnt prepare properly, or doesnt come in with the right mind set and gameplan.


But this is Fedor we are talig about, he always trains the hardest, always comes in with an unbeatable gameplan, always has a perfect mindset.


He totally took apart Cro Cop. And he would totally take apart anyone in the UFC HW division.

Crazy

I hear that one so many time so now i finaly get feed up and decide to answere to it.
Every one pull rope some times. There are more fighters that have been doin g it then not doing it.
Liddel pulled rope against Quinten in Pride? I never hear any all american boys saying anything about that.
Not heard so much fuz about GG either even though he was doing this a lot more then what acurde in the fight between Fedor and Lindland.

Fedor was told like maximum 2 times and it was not like he did it for a min (max half a sec).
I see this happend a tousand times in bouth Pride and UFC but this is first time I actually hear so many comments on it.
If it had been anyone else I am 100% sure I would never have heard so much shxx about it.

So get over it, the rope and fence is there and is sometimes used like that.
Its a natrual reflex, I don`t see this so much as a bad thing to do by Fedor.

Its bad by ref to not see it maybe but why blame the fighter??
He followed his instinkts. I can`t see this fight ending in öther way anyway myself.

marnold

His weakness is puppies.

"Maximum 2 times" Is completely wrong, Watch it again. The ref tells him to let go of the ropes about 8 times.

Not bad by the ref. He did see it, thats why he told fedor many times and tried removing his arm from the ropes

"I can`t see this fight ending in öther way anyway myself" With that mindset you could just cancel the fight a day before it happens and give fedor the win, when asked you can just say "Come on, you think fedor would lose to lindland?"

Edit: Watched the fight again and even one of the announcers said "He grabbed the ropes to avoid that take down and reversed Lindlands throw"

wilshaw

Its freezing in russia most of the time so im going to say heat, if he comes to fight Randy all that Couture will have to do is turn the arena heating on full and wear him down.

Common. To say: "let go of the rope" 8 times takes longer time then the match lasted

I am gonna look at this closly when I get home and count, 8 times will suprice me a lot. But ok, I will give it a chanse.

Yes, if the ref saw it he really sux to be hounest, then he should have stood them up and take a point away. I still don`T blame Fedor, he followed hes instinkts. Thats why I asume the ref did not see it, because if he did he should have taken a point away, this do still not mean it does not happen all the time. Im not saying it is ok, I just don`t blame Fedor for it, and it is a fact this happends in a lot of fights.

Last thingy: its not like the first time in the history that announcers comment on a holding rope/fence situation. It does still not make it a crime and it is up to the ref to take away points if they think it is enough to punish it.


"I can`t see this fight ending in öther way anyway myself"

I sayd that about GG-Randy to. I don`t see GG winning that match even without the broke nose. That is my thoughts, that was not to justefie the holding ropes.

TapOrNap

A lot of "moron" fighters would. Is this not one of the objectives of throwing elbows? Busting Fedor's head and causing the ref to stop the fight would satisfy just about anyone who faces him.

MTKrav911

I don't know about Ring Rust. I mean he fought Lindland in APril this year.

That's not all that big a layoff.
