Boxing is dying! UFC myth or reality?

You seriously need to result to insults because I disagree with your point and and discuss it? Whats the matter with you? Im not coming at you, just trying to reason here.

 

I found your assumptions insulting, so I insulted you back.

I don't like assumptions. They annoy me. They're often wrong, as is the case here.

As the guys on the MMA forum know, I've always been a big fan of Pride and a lot of the roster back in prime time Pride, and Fedor too.

To be honest prime Fedor is one of my all time favourite MMA fighters, ridiculously explosive and aggression, with a HUGE amount of natural ability in the ring. The guy just knew how to fight. I also love the "Wolf in sheep's clothing" aspect about him.

But IMO he flat out ducked the UFC, it is what it is. It has no bearing on his competition in Pride, but he was offered a spot in the UFC, that would have surely been profitable for him, and he declined it.

 

Fair enough, but that's a short sighted viewpoint. The UFC is where the best competition ends up, and the UFC is where Fedor would have got the best exposure. It was absurd NOT to take the offer, unless he was being offered less than what he was making at the time, which surely isn't true.

 

Fuck you GF, you mook ::

 

Well if thats the case, I apologize for making an assumption about you, thats just how I felt. However, I dont think it warranted an attack.

 

He was in a better position than most yep, co promotion, more money than UFC fighters, plus being seen as the best. That doesn't matter though, his competition was laughable. He was obviously content with that.

He probably did need the exposure amongst casual fans btw, of course he would have got more fans by headlining UFC cards.

 

Fair enough, then I apologise for the attack ::

 

Psyche!!! Fuck you!!!!











J/K. Its all good man.:Thumbs:

 

Of course I would have loved to see Fedor in the UFC, and his management is a big blame for it not happening. However, I dont blame Fedor a bit for not jumping over after the way Dana continually shit on him just because he didnt own him. If I was rich as fuck, still had people wanting to pay me to fight, and was coming in on the tail end of my career, I may not have given a shit either. Gedor is a simple man and may not have given a shit after Danas antics.

 

At no point was any division in Strikeforce better than the UFC. No fucking way!

 

Was anyone really saying that Rogers and Werdum trumped the UFC division back then? ::

 

UFC HW division was better at every point in history.

 

Yeah....Anthony.

 

You know at the time Fedor beat Rogers, Lesnar was already in the UFC and ranked in the top 10. They also has JDS, Cain, Carwin, Big Nog and Mir.

Just face it, you're wrong.

 

Not even close

 

UFC HW division as a whole was miles ahead of SF. There were some top HW's in SF, but UFC had just as many top fighters plus way more depth.

 

Then why were they all ranked in the top 10 right after Fedor beat Rogers?

November 2009 rankings from Sherdog had 6 UFC fighters and 4 SF fighters.
