that's jones' MO to a tee. stood with machida, grappled with glover, stood with gustafsson, grappled with cormier.
Jones didn't do that intentionally though, he was forced to stand with him. Jones was desperately trying to take/hold Gustafsson down because his face was getting lit up.Jones struck with Gus a lot who has a strong boxing background
Of the GOAT 7 (Fedor, Anderson, George's, Jones, Khabib, Demetrius, n Jose) Fedor was the most fearless , Fedor and Khabib felt the most invincible , but noone has anywhere near Bones resume an still undefeated an noone ever will again.
Ripped Glover apart on the inside too, when people said that was his ticket to beat JonYeah Fedor probably does it the most, but Jones in his prime at LHW often did it too like you suggested
Jones struck with Gus a lot who has a strong boxing background
Out-striked Shogun who has a background in Muay Thai/boxing
Wrestled with Olympic Wrestler DC
Submitted BBJ black belt specialist Vitor Belfort etc
I think I’d leave the Sylvia fight out of that. Fedor absolutely lit Sylvia up standing, he only grabbed the RNC because he broke his hand and didn’t want to GnP with it.I think you have fan goggles on... Fedor didn't try to kickbox Mirco or tap out Nog... he Tapped Hunt... He tapped Sylvia... thats their weakness not strength... which fight do you believe he intentionally fought to his opponents strength?
Spent just over half of the 1st round grappling crocop, just under half of the 2nd round, and 4 minutes of the 5 minute 3rd roundStood with CroCop, grappled with Werdum. And that is just 2 examples from a career full of them.
I'm a huge Fedor fan but you are living in lore land not reality. He struck into takedowns sometimes the guys went down he never fought to his opponents strengths.. to be honest, if he did I'd have less respect for him.I think I’d leave the Sylvia fight out of that.

I mean the RNC was right there. Once timmeh is on the ground he is too clumsy and slow to avoid submissionsI think I’d leave the Sylvia fight out of that. Fedor absolutely lit Sylvia up standing, he only grabbed the RNC because he broke his hand and didn’t want to GnP with it.
Wow you got all that from my comment about the Sylvia fight? That I live in “lore land and not reality”?I'm a huge Fedor fan but you are living in lore land not reality.

Dana's favourite ref Herb didnt see anything wrong.That back-of-the-head'er was scary.
Fedor's face hit and turns toward the camera ... and the punch lands flush from behind.
It is still scary to watch.
Sorry I thought you were the OP. I meant lore land. Where you believe all the stories instead of actually watching and understandingWow you got all that from my comment about the Sylvia fight? That I live in “lore land and not reality”?
(also I don’t think “lore land” is actually an expression. maybe you were going for la-la land?)
Fedor should be the main forum and everything else a sub forum of Fedor discussion
