Fedor's Toughest Fight's

Lets look at some of Fedors toughest Fights.

Kaz Fujita - I think this was probably Fedor's toughest fight. Fujita had Fedor on wobbly ass legs for a while before getting submitted.

Mirco Cro Cop - fought Cro Cop in MCC's prime, with an injured hand and got the unanimous decision. Funny thing is someone could say the 1st round was hel for Fedor, and he still won the round.

Ricardo Arona - Got the unanimous Decision, but Arona was scoring takedowns and was in it for the long haul.

Kevin Randleman - dropped Fedor on his fucking head and I thought it was over. 20 seconds later Randleman is tapping.

Mark Hunt - gave Fedor a helluva fight for the 8 minutes he was there before getting submitted

Mark Coleman 2 - Mark was doing well until getting subbed in the 2nd round.

Tsuyoshi Kosaka - shit Fedor getting a L in 17 seconds , we know that was hard for him to swallow.

Big Nog 1 - no it wasnt close, but Nog was the number 1 heavy and submission guy in the world at the time.

whats your adds?

and I can argue Fedor lost the Arona fight but wont cause I know how that will play out

I think Arona won as well but it was a close fight

in reality Arona won the decision but Rings had that fucking weird scoring system

wasnt ittt like Arona won the decision but they went to a tie breaker and Fedor won it

Lindland.

He was about to slam Fedor hard, but he grabbed to ropes like a bitch, was able to get top position, and dominate. It changed the entire fight.

good add farmer

Arona was the closest though there were brief spots in other fights, but he ended them. Tough to pick.

Rogers. He broke Fedors nose in the first exchange, and at one point I thought the Ref was going to stop the fight when Rogers was throwing and landing a few REALLY hard shots from the top position on the ground in the first.

No. As it turns out, in Japan you don't get points for pointless takedowns and Lay n Pray. Fedor worked Arona over standing and had several sub attempts.

Mark Coleman 1 would've been a better pick for this list. Fedor was actually quite dominating in #2. Coleman was holding on for dear life for almost the entire first round and at one point time was called by the ref because Mark's face was falling apart. Coleman scored a takedown early in the second and was promply armbar'd.

The first fight was prolly tougher for Fedor IMO. Coleman had Fedor's back for a stretch in the fight and landed two or three decent shots in the G n P before Fedor pulled an armbar out of his ass. One of the best subs all time IMO. Came out of nowhere.

Fujita was the only time he was in trouble. Hunt was winning the round but I wouldn't say he was in trouble.

Fedor's greatest wins...

1. Antonio Nogueira 1 -- Nog was the #1 guy in the world at that time.

2. Antonio Nogueira 3 -- coming off of the No Contest when Fedor split his head diving into Nog for some GnP, Fedor took out the then consensus #2 guy in the world.

3. Mirko Crocop -- at the time of this fight Crocop was the #3 guy in the world.

4. Tim Sylvia -- I know this might be hard for some to swallow, but at the time of this bout, Tim was a top five guy.

5. Andrei Arlovski -- At the time of this bout AA was probably top five [should never have been #2 like Sherdog suggested]

this isnt Fedors greatest wins

its his toughest fights

but nice add

HMC, how could you all forget him?

Everyone knows I am no defender of Fedor, but that is just a reactionary move that anyone would do. Besides having just re-watched it I think the ref's knocking Fedor's hand away actually helped Fedor twist to land on top of Lindland.
