fedors gnp wouldve pounded silva to dust.....
fedor was so good in his prime in tds, ground control and gnp, silva wouldnt have made it out of the first round....
fedors hands and scrambling ability were also extremely fast, even by standards for a mw.....
fedor had a speed, power and explosiveness extremely atypical of someone his size.....
you really should take the time] to watch a couple of fights from his prime.....it was really something else.....
i doubt we see someone that fast, agile and technically proficient at that size again in my lifetime.....
Implying I haven't been watching mma since the VHS days?
Going to the ground would certainly be the best option for fedor, because he's certainly at a disadvantage on the feet. The problem with your theory is that Silva isn't a big slow lumbering heavyweight. Fedor wasn't exactly known for shooting textbook doubles, turning the corner and finishing.
The fact is, they share a common opponent, and we know how that turned out.
Btw, not a fedor hater. I just think the spider is a bad style match for him. And it's not like Silva would win 10/10. But I have him winning the majority.
