I can't believe we have Wand vs Ace next week. It will serve a great pre game.

And we thought a judge giving Carlos Eduardo Rocha a 30-27 last night was the strange call of the weekend. Bizarre. I'm tired. Good night.

Aldo's injured? Dana White's can now officially fund social security with his swear jar.
Mind blown.

I'll argue about Fedor for years. I ain't scared homie.
Arguing about Fedor is like arguing about religion. Don't touch it brah.

Remember last year we had something like 10 UFCs title fights scrapped/changed due to injury by October? I wonder how many we've had so far this year. I think we're way ahead of schedule.

Good article about the Pac/Bradley fight and many other recent matches either being fixed or effected by completely incompetent judges:

Pacquiao lost a decision when it appeared to many that he won decisively
Fedor being the HW GOAT isn't an argument, it's a fact.
Fedor being the MMA GOAT is debatable.

The main card, definitely.
LOL
This is no LOL'ing matter, friend.
Fedor has beaten nearly as many top 10 ranked opponents as other GOAT candidates Anderson Silva, and Georges St. Pierre.
The only difference is Fedor didn't lose to cans, unlike GSP and Silva.
They're tied at this point, until GSP and AS lose again, then Fedor is unanimously considered the GOAT.
I can agree with this.
Hahaha, so true. Off limits amongst friends: religion, politics and Fedor.

Fedor is tired. It's more fun to point and laugh at boxing. Arum is already booking caterers for November 10th.

You're right, he didn't lose to cans, because Antonio Silva is even loser than a can, he's like a paper cup.
I don't think Antonio Silva is comparable to the Matt Serra's and Daiju Takase's that the other GOATs fail to beat.

Agreed the ones that can claim GOAT status are GSP, Silva and Fedor. Out of the 3 Fedors reseme looks most impressive. Call me crazy but I have Hendo up there as well.
The only guys Fedor hasn't fought during his dominance were Barnett and Randy and I think it's safe to say that he would have stomped them both. Where is that YouTube video of every fighter like Chuck, Wand, Page etc saying that they would be too pussy to fight Fedor?

In other news Hendo is +450 vs Jones. Time to drop a bill on dat H Bomb. Hendo is becoming punch drunk like Frye and Chuck.

Oh noes, Fedor lost.
Greats aren't allowed to lose, especially when they're near the end of their careers, or they'll get relegated to can status.
smh
James Toney was more favoured to beat Randy Couture than Dan Henderson is to beat Jon Jones.
Hendo has no chance, especially not with those little t-rex arms of his.
Losing to 4-7 Daiju Takase, or 9-4 Matt Serra is worse than losing to 15-2 Antonio Silva, breh.

Are we talking about the same Dan Henderson here? The last time I checked he has never been KO'd in any of his eight losses.
And Hendo is much more a solid candidate for GOAT status than Fedor ever will be. Even when he gets ragdolled by Jones he can always reflect on the fact he's challenging himself at the highest level and not shitting on whatever legacy he has by fighting dudes like Rizzo, Monson and no-name Japanese cans.

100%. Fedor was in the twilight years of his career in that fight, though I think Fedor was good in the Werdum fight but just played Werdum's game. That Bigfoot fight was competitive. It sucks that it didn't go to a 3rd. Not saying Fedor would have won if it did go to a 3rd, but you never know. Lame finish to that fight.

These days if you want to be a fighter you have to start at 18 Vitor style and go to 34(5) than retire. That's why I see a guy like Rory will have a spectacular career. Beast mode at 22.
That was the worst Fedor that ever showed up, almost as bad as his performance vs. Henderson.
It's a shame that he decided to abandon his skillset and become a wild brawler, but hey, give him Cormier/Barnett and call it a career.
It's time to make way for future GOATs such as Jon Jones and Can Velasquez.

One could easily just say something similar like "Silva was just starting out when he lost to Chonan/Takase/etc" because in Silva's case and his annihilation of his competition in the UFC it's certainly the truth.
Which is exactly the issue. A fight between an elite, GOAT-candidate HW fighter vs. Bigfoot should not be "competitive." Ask Cain Velasquez or Dan Cormier for more details.
