Have you seen Fedor’s last outing? He looked lost against Ryan “easiest fight in the division” Bader.Big words from Sergei. No chance is pretty disrespectful. He's acting like this is Fedor vs Ngannou.
Not really a check hook because Bader isn’t turning the corner.professor doesn't know the difference between jab and check hook

Malik was already retired for a few years, bout was an exhibitionSergei is the first and only mma fighter to cross over and beat a high level boxer (malik scott)
The fight was years ago and no one talks about it.
I love both fighters, fedor is the goat and my favorite fighter, but these days, save for a hail Mary godfist, Sergei wins easy
Couldn't make a sensible judgement now at their current state but Fedor's "boxing" was little boxing but excellently adapted MMA strikes.
Kharitonov always had excellent fundamentals of boxing.
If it were 15+ years ago, I'd have bet the house on Sergei in a straight boxing bout.
I'd have the same view about Tyson vs Jake Paul, Tyson smashes him 15 years ago!
Seriously. Why?
Sergei will probably clobber him if it's standard boxing gloves and 8 count. Fedor will lose a lot of speed with big gloves on. His punching style isn't really suited for boxing either. Sergei hasn't been in shape for a long time and he is a bit of a plodder. I think Sergei has enough to weather the initial barrage and just walk Fedor down when Fedor slows down. They should just fight in MMA instead.
It's a reference to this:Bader is an easy fight now? Thats rich.
It's a reference to this:
It’s kinda true. He can beat some guys but the title challengers would maul him. He would end up on highlight reels.
I'm pretty sure most people on here never watched another Bader fight after he left the UFC. At least not until he fought Fedor. He's a tough fucking outing for anyone in the division. Jones effortlessly big brothering him early in their careers forever tarnished people perception of Bader I thinkBader has beaten Lil Nog 2x, Rashad when he was 19-3, Rampage, Phil Davis 2x, Feijao, Latifi, Magales, Machida, Mitrione, Moldavsky, Kongo and Vassel.
Bader is a D1 all American wrestler with KO power and 5 rounds of high intensity wrestling cardio. He's also a black belt in BJJ. His problems are mainly psychological and it makes him inconsistent. But when he's at his best he's very good and not an easy fight for anyone.
He's a damn good fighter.
