I would say Mike 'cleared out' a very weak HW division where as Fedor beat the number 2 rated HW of all time twice, a prime Cro Cop and others during the best HW division in MMA's shorter history, only person he didnt get to was Josh Barnett and that was because of Josh, not Fedor
Not saying Barnett was ducking Fedor, but he didnt want to fight him until way later and tried to make a bunch of money and I dont blame him, thats all on Josh, not Fedor
The best person Mike ever beat is no where near the top HW ranks, the best guys he fought (Lewis and Holyfield) spanked him
MMA is a flavor of the month sport because guys dont get brought a long slowly, Brock has like 5 fights and everyone is going crazy to see him fight Fedor, Cain has a couple fights and Dana is already telling the world Fedor needs to beat Cain, Mir was almost out the door and he beat a 1-0 Brock and staph infected Nog and we are supposed to believe Mir is a big test for Fedor? or even better a 16-10 fighter who has been KO'd out of the HW division twice and LHW division once
Meanwhile, Fedor just keeps beating some of the all time greats, former champs in under a round and Zulu'ing fools from here to Japan for the last 8 years, but I am told to believe he doesnt fight anybody because there isnt a UFC logo on the mat
There is a certain level of truthiness (and by certain level, I mean ALL) to all of the bold and it is what I say to basically everyone who doubts Fedor...a buddy of mine at work talks mad shit about Fedor...knows I am a huge Fedor fan...and knows nothing of rationale thought on the matter and this is what I say to him and everyone who doubts Fedor's legitimacy based on playing the game outside of the UFC (his typical rebuttle is "Would you think Peyton Manning is a great QB if he played in the CFL?" - to which he receives a slap in the face for straw men arguments).
