How fast was prime Fedor?

Very fast
 
About this fast ...

Legend has it that he ran the 100 metre in 9.97 seconds!

Fast as fuck...Quickest hands in MMA IMO.

in his prime, he was extremely fast...especially for a heavyweight...if fedor could get you out of there with just strikes he would. but he definitely evolved more and more into pure striking...aGainst cro cop it was a good mixture...something you just don't see anymore...not using his grappling, has made his standup less effective..which is why he's getting hit alot more than he used to...with grappling, it opens up your standup game big time..
 
As a Russian, I love his unassuming attitude and grim nonchalance that is the essence of Russian character.

He decided to strike with CroCop, beat him on the feet. Decided to grapple with Big Nog (twice!) and beat him on the ground. And post-fight he acts like he just delivered mail.

Fuck man, I'm really going to miss watching him fight.

Let me put it to you this way, around the Arlovski fight his coaches said he was slowing down. After the fight there were a bunch of gifs on Sherdog in slow motion of Fedor parrying shots from Arlovski that in real time people thought were landing, they were not. This is when he started slowing down.

I remember that. People were saying that Fedor is shit because Arlovski kept tagging him but when you watched the gifs almost none of the shots ever landed. It was really some Matrix stuff. I would say that the slowing down had started prior to that and his absolute peak was around 05. Still fast today though.
 
ITT: People posting gifs of Fedor going "LIGHTNING FAST!!!! FASTEST HANDS EVER!!!" and the gifs show a faster-than-average-for-HW-but-nothing-special punches.
 
Francis hits as hard at a ford escort going 60mph. Fedor is as fast as a ford escort doing 60mph. Crazy stuff #GOAT

Cool to know that an Escort going 60mph is faster than any other car going 60. Eye learndid sumfing noo.
 
Crazy how a lot of mma fans and pundits had fedor loosing that fight ....

Tim is underated as fuck. Boring. Yes. But that was a hard fight that was made out to be a squash match after the fact.
 
Fedor would just visualize a cone of ice cream above his opponent's head, and bam! his hands snap out to get it like a cobra
 
Aleks is one of the biggest wastes of potential in mma
<2>
which is crazy cause he’s had a good career as it is

True, it's crazy to think how good he could have been if he was disciplined, he was kicking the shit out of Josh Barnett making him look like he's never fought an MMA fight in his life for the better part of 10 minutes.
 
Aleks is extra impressive because of his long limbs, for me

He had very fast hands too, though Fedor was faster IMO. He actually had very good TDD too, Barnett had a lot of trouble getting him down and probably would have lost if Aleksander had better cardio or if the first round was 5 minutes instead of 10.

I agree, his Affliction fights were near the start of his decline.
 
Fast, plus it seems a lot of fighters have no idea how to deal with casting punches.

Yeah, very few fighters use them, Igor and Fedor being the best at them. It's such a great style of punching cause you can transition to takedowns and the clinch so fluidly.

lol, I wish the slow motion gifs from Fedor vs Arlovski were still up here, you wouldn't say shit after seeing those.
