Fedor isn't a wrestler, never was.
Most of his takedowns were upper body after having already cracked the opponent with a big punch.
In the later part of his career he fought opponents that were very hard to take down, he would have never taken down fighters like Arlovski or Bigfoot, too big and skilled.
Not true...i have seen fedor many many times use his stand up to get in close and take the guy down and either ground and pound him or submit him...Fedor wasn't a wrestler? well he wasn't a standup fighter either...he used both..they fed off of each other...go watch his fight with heath herring...he took him down non stop...and ground and pounded his head in...and it's not so much taking the guy down..it's getting your opponent to know it's coming and to worry about the takedown...that is what fedor had...that is what made his standup good...That is what he did with cro crop...he used the threat of the takedown to beat cro cop on the feet...without that, hed never ever beat cro cop in a standup battle.
