Is Fedor overrated?? - Page 4

I can't wait for these two to fight, then everyone can stfu about who is better & if anyone is over rated.

I think both guys are great fighters, regardless of all else & the only way it can be settled is in the ring...not on a Sherdog thread, ha!

I think Fedor needs to go through UFC Heavyweights like he did Pride fighters and then you could say he is not overrated.

The guy he beat twice just took down the UFC HW champion, as well as a guy who's top 5 in the UFC HW division...yeah, beating on the UFC HW division sure would prove something.

But now? Questioning Fedor's legitimacy threads are a dime a double-dozen.

Dear Fedor: Please fight a top ten HW soon. Kthxbai.

Or else what? Couture's record will be absolved of all loses or his wins over Big Nog will be overturned?

He's the only fighter in any weightclass at any time in MMA history that has pretty much remained undefeated yet fought every style and every body type of fighter there is and fought the elites of the elite at their peaks (dominating them every time).

Beating the best heavyweights makes you the #1 heavyweight actually, and thats what Fedor has done. No one has even fought the amount of ranked heavyweights he has, let alone won or dominated them.

(except unlike Silva, Fedor has no actual losses)

Well said. I actually was watching quiet a bit of his earlier fights, and he just DOMINATES his opponents. He's in a class by himself, (e.g., like federer in tennis). Nobody came close in any of his fights....
