Did you actually read the OP? Just curious.

Flyin' Kneez

From the beginning of the thread or the one directed at me? (yes I read both)

Calminian

When you read things silently, do your lips move?

Which 5 years are they? If you're starting at 2008 he's only had 3 wins, not to mention that 5 years is impossible since that was only 3 years ago.

I'm not even arguing that he's a legend at this point. Hell I don't even really like him, I'm just wondering where someone would have the chutzpah to say he has half a decade of ducking opponents.

Nice deflection from the point. Anytime you wanna talk about MMA, just let me know.

Calminian

I definitely have the chutzpah to say he's been ducking the best for 5 or 6 years. In my post I went all the way back to 2006.

Calminian

Just trying to diagnose the problem. Trying to figure out how you inferred from the OP that this is about Fedor's recent 3 loses. But you said you read it, so......

Flyin' Kneez

Ohhhh, so it's a coincidence you've thought of this thread two days after his third consecutive loss?

But anyway,

Really?

These guys were jokes?

Come on guys if your really going to take the negative road on fedor's legacy and bright up that his past was a joke etc. You might as well bring everything that happen in the past in mma in to dispute. Fedor is a legend leave it as that, if your going to let his 3 fights lost in recent memory put an astrik on his entire career you might as well do the same to even great fighter from the pass.

At the end of the day, Fedor,wandy,big nog,chuck,bass,gracie,etc are all mma legend and all have great legacy in the sport. Just leave the past in the past and move on. Don't let the future affect the pas, because deep down we all know any old school legend could not hang with the guys today.

Calminian

Er, okay. At this point I'm guessing the lips move.

But anyway.....

Coleman was a natural Light Heavyweight.

As was Randleman

Yes. I have a great deal of respect for Crocop and Nogueira. They went for the best which was in the UFC, and though not successful, they went the highroad. They went out like true champions. Fedor went the low road, and couldn't cut it there. He tried to cheat and failed.
