The funniest thing is I'm pretty much sure both Werdum and Bigfoot were picked as potential easy Ws for "The GOAT."Bigfoot was KO'd by Cormier in his very next fight lol

And even IF Bigfoot was on something, Cormier crumpled him the very next fight. Why couldn't Fedor do that?
Except it's not comparable, your analogy.You realize that's kind of stupid, right?
If a football defender is able to shut down Messi, despite Messi being faster and better at handling the ball, he'd get credit for it, because those aspects about Messi make it more difficult and less likely for someone to stop him.
If Messi beat him the next game in the open field for a goal, do you think people would look at Messi being faster and having ball skills as a reason to cast more blame at that defender?
He should go on onlyfans and sell it there. There's got to be a market for that today, no? Put it under the "don't try to define me" category??This was before Bigfoot started producing milk from his teets from all the roids he was shooting up

Fedor had the the important advantages when it comes to Hw, speed and skill.
When Fedor beat giants like Choi everyone was on his nuts, even tho there was a high discrepancy in skill and speed.
When Fedor lost to bigfoot, its suddenly moot? Fedor was more skilled and faster. Bigfoot was more skilled than Choi but Bigfoot deserves credit for beating Fedor. Bigfoot won that fight more than Fedor lost.
are you slow?So when Fedor beats bigger guys he gets all the credit but when he loses to bigger guys theres no fault?
Fedor was fucking amazing off his back. Welcome to MMA.If there's one thing about Khabib and Fedor it's this,
Khabib is much better off his back and with grappling in general while Fedor was more of a lethal striker.
Fedor striking is always wild.
that was green-lighted for TRT, and was given a win by a doctor, is something that you think about at night?
Bigfoot was enjoying all the benefits of TRT.
Can you elaborate on what you mean? I understand what you mean about having Fedor as champ adding legitimacy, but you lost me after that.For sure. Strikeforce paid big bucks for Fedor and having him be their HW champ would have added to their legitimacy. That whole Grand Prix was designed for Fedor to win it; and it probably wouldn't have even happened if Werdum hadn't have beaten Fedor.
So you’re saying the victory was down to Bigfoot’s skills and not the fact that he outweighed Fedor by like 60lbs and was also juiced to the gills?

- The winner of the tournament didn’t win the championship. They just got a GP belt.
- The actual champion—Ubereem— was in the tournament, but his title wasn’t on the line throughout.
- I don’t see how the tournament was designed for Fedor to win it. Had he beaten Bigfoot, he’d have been scheduled to fight Ubereem. On the other side of the bracket were 2 guys he’d beaten previously in Arlovski and Rogers—but they didn’t win their fights anyhow. Fedor would’ve been dealing with Ubereem or Cormier as alternate, and either Kharitonov or Barnett. Not exactly a walk in the park.
I definitely agree, I’d love to have seen that fight. I’d actually still like to see it lol. But yeah, there was definitely some management-type-jockeying going on. But I don’t subscribe to the idea that Fedor ducked him, as they were in the GP tournament, and even on the same side of the bracket.Now that I look back at it you are right here and I'm being a bit too critical. I remember being pissed that he fought Rogers and not Overeem in his Strikeforce debut though. Outside of the UFC Overeem vs Fedor was the fight to make back then. There was definitely some bullshit from both sides of their management that was holding up the Overeem Fedor fight from happening.
IIRC Overeem said that Fedor Declined to fight him twice, but Vadim was wanting Reem to do extensive drug tests as part of the stipulation. I'm not sure exactly what happened, but it kind of sucks that they never fought.

I was actually trying to remember why the hell they did that tournament. Was there a reason? I don’t recall one. I enjoyed the tournament, but it was really weird booking.
Except that is the logical follow through of that statement. This is well known in MMA, not my fault your peabrain couldn't make the connection.Since you didn't phrase it as "Fedor being smaller gave him important advantages" or anything like that, but instead decided to chime in with "So when Fedor beats bigger guys he gets all the credit but when he loses to bigger guys theres no fault?" my analogy fits PERFECTLY - with what you wrote.
If what you wrote in no way reflected what you wanted to say, that's kind of a problem with you, not me.
See post #22
Na. I'm good. I really don't care what OP says. If one doesn't know what "out-classed" means, then it's whatevs.
