What do yall think of Fedor coming back?
I don't understand the Fedor Mystique at all. People are on Andersons ass for steroids and destroying his legacy. Yet Fedor fought almost exclusively in Japan where steroids were required for a long time. He's got a steroid body, he always has, looks like a Major League Baseball player with his giant barrel chest(Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens style body). Then there's the fight fixing allegations that surrounds Japanese MMA. Yet he's still the greatest ever? The guy that almost got wrecked by Brett Rogers? A guy slinging tires for walmart 2 years before he fought Fedor? Strikeforce also had some lax drug enforcement policies.... Overeem anyone?
Fedor got exposed pretty darn heavy in Strikeforce, if he comes back at heavyweight I don't expect him to last more than one fight. Everyone in the UFC has improved since Fedor retired. He's been inactive for a long time. I just don't see it going well. He was always a small heavyweight and the UFC has no place for that. Brock Lesnar proved that.
Fedor's got some cutting to do. Hell he could be a beast at 205lbs. Fedor Vs. DC? anyone? If he stays at Heavyweight I would love to see Mir Vs. Fedor.
205-265 is too big of a gap. They need to bring in a heavyweight at about 230 and 265 should be super heavy. I could see Fedor fighting at 230, but the guys like Mir at 265 are just too damn big. Fedors from the time when Heavyweights weighed 220-240. He hasn't been in the game since Brock changed it to the super heavyweight style we've seen for years.
I've been called a Fedor hater for years
felt the same way about Wanderlei. Over hyped, steroid junkie, some clearly fixed fights. A lot of guys that should have never been in the ring with him, padded record if you will. I don't really think it's hate I think it's a realistic look, if the media is going to question Anderson's entire career than they pretty much have to throw Fedor's right out the window.
