Fame and success caught up to Ronda, as it does to most fighters. She was one of the most dominant fighters to ever grace this sport and no doubt one of the most exciting. At the same time I have never seen a fighter with more haters, not even Conor. Just read this thread. It's discusting.
I dont know man, I think its weirder that people pretend that hw fighters reach their prime at 38 or whatever. Fedors physical decline, and he relied a lot on his speed and reflexes in his prime, started going down when you would expect then to. All it takes is being 1/10 of a second slower.
Still gave DC that third round inspite of the knockdown, it's funny considering that in Jones vs Gus 1 the situation was reversed. Gus should have won the belt in one of those two fights.
Fedor at his best was prrimarily a grappler. if you don't see any differrence in his grappling abily between pride and bellator then we fundamentally disagree on the subject. Have a nice day.
he also always gets the same special treatment from his haters. What has jones got to do with anything? You really didn't add anything new to our discussion so i'm not sure how to respond further. Your other post about competition is just troll baiting so i'll stay away from that one.
Not sure what the coleman thing has to do with our discussion but Fedor was starting to fall off around the Hunt fight. Whether it was wear and tear, injuries, not training the same or age doesn't really matter. He was not the same guy.
Strenght of competitioin. Yea, sure.
10 years of mma and a lifetime of sambo and judo and you dont understand wear and tear?
I just told you why he started losing. Are you suggesting people enter their prime after 20 years of combat sports while being on the wrong side of 30? And the fact that he didnt is your proof that he was...
hmmmm or it's the fact that he might have been dealing with back issues all the way from his late 20s? And also the fact that he was following the rules?
Some things allowed in Japan = No cheating
Some things not allowed after Pride = Cheating
Fedor slowing down early 30s = Normal human being...
