Once again the Mighty Fedor dodges the Ufc. Wow he's fighting Monson. Yikes! As always he's taking the easy road. Of course he's had some tough fights against some top fighters. But to call him one of the best,Sorry i cant. who has he fought recently, AA,Tim Silvia,Rogers,Werdum,A-silva, Just my opinion. The sad thing is i used to get pumped up for his fights, now i see the real Fedor. Maybe in his prime he should have gone to the Ufc and my opinion might be different but we'll never know if he could have hung with the top talent?

If he comes to the UFC in 2007 or 2009 he would be a legend...even with any losses.
Wanderlei Silva is 2-6 in the UFC and he'll still be in the UFC hall of fame. I have no doubts that Fedor would have had a better record than that and his fighting style is pretty similar to Wandy/Nog. Aggressive style with the ability to come back at any point in the fight and can beat opponents with pretty much anything. It's a shame people question how good he ever was now considering he was the FIRST true #1 fighter in the world. It's like saying Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, Dan Marino, Joe Montana, Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Emmitt Smith, Jerry Rice and John Elway were never that good because the competition wasn't as good back then. When, in fact, they actually revolutionized the game to what it is today. They were benchmarks as to how good you should be but most never came close. Same as what Fedor did for MMA. The game has just passed him by.

Nice post, reckin. Only issue I have is the very first line. UFC or not, he's still a legend. It's just trolls an no nothings who think otherwise. Even Uncle Dana agrees. HE won't admit it now, of course, but when he was offering the biggest contract in MMA history to him, you better believe that's what he thought.
Then listen to him talk about Cro Cop or Big Nog.... legends, he calls them. RAVES about their careers... both of which pale in comparison to Fedor. Especially, considering he whooped them both at their own games, in their PRIME. So, yeah, DW may talk out of his *** NOW, but anyone paying attention knows the real score.
Again, nice post.

Yeah the first line is pointing to the fact that if he had the exposure of some UFC fights people would see how good he truly is/was. Not saying he isn't a legend now...just that he needed that exposure for more fans to love him/his style. It's easy to hate Fedor now because (a) the hype that he brought and then lost a few times in SF, and then (b) the fact he didn't sign with the UFC really made people mad, both hardcore/mainstream fans alike. They just wanted to see him in the UFC. Ignoring what he did with Pride/Affliction though is just silly.

So, if you even recognize that he was "amazing in his prime", then why did you even start this thread? And why did you ask the question? Probably because you're just trolling.

When Fedor was in his prime the UFC HW division was a bunch a garbage.

The thing i liked about Fedor is he beat people at there game. Now days you hardly see that. All his fights were exciting and its easy to look back and say he wasnt that good but i remeber the feelings i had before the Big Nog fights and Cro Cop fights and to me it was the best time to be a mma fan so to me he is a LEGEND and from 2001 through 2006 he was the baddest man on the planet. I will also remember him for letting his management screwing up his career.

Man that is so true. I've never even really considered that before but your right. I am a Fedor fan, but I don't think he will go down as a legend. With the UFC growing so much and gaining more fans than ever before, I think Fedor will be all but forgotten in the next 10 years. Only the true hardcore fans will know who he is, but that will be a very small percentage of MMA fans.

Then why bump the topic if you don't think its relevant?
The fact of the matter is Fedor is fighting soon and no one on here is talking about it. I think this thread is extremely relevant because of that. For the past 10 years every time Fedor fought there was more buzz then anyone. What does that say about his current legendary status?
