Fedor throwing 3 power shots in 1 sec.

Fedor can still swing fast and hard power punches.

Chael has a jaw on him to take a punch like that. He was still wide awake and defensive when he hit the canvas.

Yes lets ignore decades of being used to fighting heavyweights vs fighting @ 185. Chael was not, is not and will never be anything other than a MW, even in his prime this was evident when he moved up. Weight stats don't tell the story, fanboys. It was beyond obvious that Fedor was the much bigger and stronger guy in there.
Fedor was the 9 pounds bigger and stronger guy in there .

i think the point is that fedor is also a natural lhw / mw, but has fought at heavyweight. had chael come in at 200lbs, you'd kind of have a point, alas...

he was 10lbs bigger. it does seem like he was stronger, though.
 
I like how he got both Mir and Sonnen with lefts. Seems guys are anticipating the big overhand hand and then get nailed with a left hook.
 
Anderson was the first man to drop him and the difference is, he finished him after dropping him. Fedor was dicking around for minutes with a guy several weight classes smaller.

And another parallel with a man named Dan Henderson.
When did Anderson drop Chael? I remember Chael going for a spinning backfist, missing, falling against the cage and being scared to death as he was kneed in the solar plexus..

Lol so much salt.

Beautiful stuff by Fedor.

If you watch in slow-mo, you see those 1st 2 punches landing right on the chin.

I love this "several weight classes" bullshit - what was their weight on fight night? how does their LBM compare? roughly the same mass
 
Fedor can never win.

If he lost, he lost to a MW

If he won, he only beat a MW

Chael entered the tournament. Boo Hoo if he wasn’t used to fighting HWs.

O.P. Awesome pics
