I was going to say Fedor should add more kicks to his game because I know he can do them, but he seems to have been pretty successful so far.

God he kicks hard and fast. Good hip movement. I wish he kicked more.

Fedor vs Werdum

I’m not excited about this fight ! I think Fedor is trying to keep the title of best heavyweight in the world. Until Fedor fights Overeem or leap to the UFC I’m not buying it. Fight the best or shut up already.

FYI, lack of enthusiasm is typically not denoted with an exclamation point.

And I think you’re the very first person to come up with that meme.

Shut up already?

It’s not like Fedor runs his mouth talking about how he’s the best hw in the world. He’s the opposite of loquacious.

And if he beat Overeem, people would just say Overeem sucks and that Fedor has to come to the UFC to prove himself. Really, the hater talk will never end until he wins the UFC strap.

How about you chill for a few months? Once Fedor beats Werdum, the world will call for the Overeem fight. Then he will either fight him, or he can be officially written off as someone relevant because he will only have scrubs to fight while Lesnar, Carwin, JDS, and Cain are all fighting top fighters.

If you think about it, Overeem needs the Fedor fight too. There are no other Heavyweights that would really push Overeem’s status as a top Heavyweight in Strikeforce or Dream after Fedor. Overeem needs Fedor to boost his ranking while he still has fights with Strikeforce.

Moot points really. I see Fedor kicking Werdum’s ass, then taking the Overeem fight. Then we can cry for the winner to come to the UFC because everyone else sucks.

Interesting how fedor never blocks punches...

He just uses head movement to avoid them. Amazing that he has the lowest Strikes Absorbed per Minute even without blocking.

He was blocking punches in the Arlovski fight

I was referring to the standard way of forearms over the face

by xfreekx on May 24, 2010 8:28 PM EDT up reply actions

wow, isn’t blocking punches that way kind of dangerous? It seems to me that one could easily break/dislocate some fingers.

by David_ on May 24, 2010 9:07 PM EDT up reply actions

Remember the fight between Paulo Thaigo vs. Mike Swick?

Paulo swayed so many punches successfully without simply covering up with his arms up which still absorbs power.

I do agree it is dangerous but it looks like Fedor kept his eyes on the hands of Arlovoski.

Fedor has very good kicks as he shown in Cro Cop fight [low, mid, and HIGH] and Fujita fight at the end of the fight [liver kick]

Well

He is a Sambo Champ. That’s how they throw punches too.

I really don’t think blocking punches with mma gloves prevents enough damage to warrant their constant use.

by David_ on May 24, 2010 8:04 PM EDT up reply actions

it’s gotten Fedor this far against guys like CroCop and Nog when they were at their peak.

Gatti. Dekkers. Pele. Aoki. Kang. Vanderlei. Basillio. Harry Greb.

have you even seen him fight? He doesn’t cover up. Blocking punches is not what has gotten him to where he’s at.

Hes REALLY quick for someone his size.

As ive said before the first person to beat Fedor will have to outweigh him by at least 40 lbs or more

by pandaboy99 on May 24, 2010 8:22 PM EDT reply actions

I love when Fedor utilizes body kicks, because he usually incorporates them into a blazing fast 3 to 4 strike combination. Remember how he lit up Cro Cop against the ropes? Just amazing.
