Fedor....

To Fabricio Werdum? :eek6:

(seriously?) :skep:

Werdum's Jiu Jitsu is amazing. This was Fedor's first challenge in a while, I am not overly surprised. I put $150 on him needless to say I came out way ahead.

the sad thing is that Fedor had the fight won. but he bought his own hype and didn't respect Werdum's bjj and he got caught. if he did anything except jump into his guard, Fedor wins 9 times out of 10.

Huh??? He connected once. I never knew the first person to connect won.

he rocked and dropped him. if he had taken a step back and let Werdum up instead of jumping into his guard, he would have easily put his lights out.

for all the people who talk up Fedor's "humble" personality (which is almost entirely because he's flabby and can't speak english), we just saw his ego lose him a fight.

Granted on Werdum, but this is Fedor the unstoppable we're talking about here.

(or at least it was) :sosp:

He dropped him but Werdum was not rocked that bad. He would have been fine before the fight would have been stood back up if Fedor would have stepped back.

he would have recovered, sure (within the amount you can recover in 20 seconds), but another big right hand and he would be dropped.

Fedor dropped Arlovski (who beat Werdum) and Rogers in the last year, and both of them have much better chins than Werdum. if the fight stayed on their feet i would consider it basically a given that he would've KO'd Werdum.

but it doesn't matter anyways, because he didn't.

Werdum flopped. It's what he does. He has horrible stand-up, and tries to goad his opponent into following him to the mat where he is deadly. It's a big reason he is no longer in the UFC. His fights tend to be boring because he doesn't want anything to do with the standup (see Arlovski), and most of his opponents are smart enough to avoid his ground game. And since Werdum has poor takedowns, the only way he can get someone on the ground is by pulling guard or acting hurt.

As for the punch itself, it just clipped him. It wasn't solid enough to put even the worst chin down...although it was just a matter of time if Fedor wouldn't have foolishly followed him down. But Fedor has always been sloppy when following his opponent to the mat. It's just that up until last night, he was either able to power out of any trouble or kept enough distance to minimize the risk.

    • would love it if Vegas were Week 5 (Oct 7).  Just throwing it out there with fingers crossed
    • I believe you are correct. Everyone remembers that record setting drubbing of the Broncos but that was the highlight of their season. They have very good coaching overall and they have a ton of talent. With a better QB they could have knocked off the Chiefs IMO. We aren't even in the conversation of the Dolphins until proven otherwise. We couldn't even get in the end zone against the lowly Chicago Bears. We got shutout and blown out by the CJ Beathard led Jaguars for fugs sake. We can't even compete with bad teams let alone run up the score on them. To me if I'm being completely realistic if I'm the GM and my job is on the line and I feel like Tua is Bryce Young's ceiling I'm drafting QB in the first round next year unless he just magically has a season like Stroud did last year. That's it. I'm genuinely not trying to be abrasive about this it just gets really mind numbing eventually that we keep lowering the bar down down down down down and it's like hey it's fine to have expectations. And if you have a young QB in his prime and he isn't giving you at least prime Jake Delhomme arm talent it's time to keep looking for a QB.
    • Not exactly.  They show that Jones was making the most of the opportunities he had.  I was never a fan of his, but I think that the talent level in NE last year is somehow escaping the massive negative attention it should have received.  That team was terrible - especially the talent and coaching on offense - and everyone was still afraid of the wrath of hoodie. He'll have a chance to restart his career at some point.  He was a middle of the pack QB as a rookie.  Plenty of teams out there would love to make it up to middle of the pack at QB.
