http://www.mmamania.com/2010/7/23/1584128/fedor-emelianenko-jiu-jitsu-is Fraudor showing his true colors. Werdum would clown this fool in a straight up grappling match. Fraudor needs to GTFO, he got submitted because Werdum is 2x the grappler he is, and he because he's an arrogant douche that fell for his own hype that M1 and his fans were preaching to the rest of the sane universe.
He's wrong about Jiu Jitsu but right about why he lost. Any idiot would know better than to jump into Werdum's guard while still early and bone dry. He bought the hype and thought he was indestructable. That arrogance cost him.
His arrogance will cost him again. He's still as arrogant as ever. Discrediting his opponent and his art. Blaming, or as Fraudor puts it "thanking" God for his loss. Yes, because an almighty deity plays a large part in moderating the sport of Mixed Martial Arts. :doh: And since he seems to have this faulty arrogance that BJJ is "nothing special", it wouldn't' surprise me if he tried to outgrapple Werdum in a rematch and Werdum tooled his ass again.
You know what's funny is that BJJ is what handed Fedor his first real loss. If it was Arlovski, Rogers, Sylvia, or anyone with limited Jiu-Jitsu, Fedor likely ends the fight some point later. Being in the guard of a fresh, dry and coherent Werdum is not a good place. Period.
Not gonna happen. That fight lit a fire under Fedors ass and he's gonna go on a tear. Mark my words. See the last couple times he was motivated like his avenging the first "loss", and avenging his brothers beatdown to Crocop.
Well, it all likely starts with a Werdum rematch. And Fedor has all the tools to beat Werdum like a dusty rug. So I agree with you at least for Fedor's next fight should it be a rematch with Werdum. Beyond that I can see Fedor struggling,
No kidding. I consider Fedor to have been on a very long lay-off. Considering he hadn't fought a live opponent in 4 or 5 years.
Doesn't mean shit, the rankings these days are a joke, especially Sherdog, I don't even pay attention to them anymore, everyone knows how bad and biased they are. Sylvia still had lost 2 of 3 going into the fight. Looked like shit in the Monson fight, got owned by Old man Couture coming off a ridiculously long layoff. Then lost to a shot Nog. Where in those stretch of fights did someone get the idea that he'd be a good test for the Fraud? O wait, never. And AA is obviously shot. He looks worse than Sylvia these days.
Bum Rogers may be by far, the worst top 10 ranked fighter in recent MMA history. I can't think of any other fighter who's career was made by several wins vs fat, t-shirt wearing truckers, a mediocre LHW masquerading as a HW(who actually hung with Rogers for a while) and a shot, glass chinned fighter. Of course followed up with two dominating knockout losses to put him back down to the bum level he deserves to be at.
AA was coming off of a 5 fight win streak with wins over Werdum, Rothwell, and Roy Nelson. This is why he was ranked top 5. Sylvia was beating the fuck out of Nog before he got caught in a sub. Besides that his other loss was to another UFC champ in a fight that went the distance. Couple that with wins over Brandon Vera, who was undefeated at the time, and Monson, who was on a roll at the time, and you can see why he was ranked top 5. Both AA and Sylvia were viewed of as serious threats to Fedor before the fights happened. You can say whatever you want to after the fights happened, but that was the consensus prior to the bouts. So you can pretty much say that most would probably agree with the rankings of the fighters prior to the fights rather than a biased little brat trolling the greatest MMA fighter who ever lived.
He wasn't beating the fuck out of shit. Nog has always taken punishment, especially the shot version. And he wasn't 'caught'. He got fucking outclassed. Also at the Monson fight, stop using Sherdog. Everyone knows that was probably the worst title fight in the history of the UFC... Also, at being threats, if Fedor was less than 2/1 favourite against either it would be a damn shock. Everyone knew they sucked, especially Sylvia, and AA probably couldn't beat Kimbo right about now. Ben Rothwell and that version of Roy Nelson are not tests for elite fighters. Especially considering, again if you had watched the fight, that Nelson was blatantly robbed a dominant postition in that fight after like 15 seconds. Thw fight was essentially rigged for AA to win...
No, Ben Rothwell fucking sucks, and The jury is still out on Nelson. He's always been skilled(especially when not being robbed by corrupt orgs like EliteXC) but his training in the past has been horrible, that and no one really expects him to beat JDS(jury's still out on him too IMO)
