re: UFC Fight Night 70-something - Louis Smolka vs. Paddy Hooligan - Dublin, Ireland

Fedors opponents combine UFC record is 83-45, 64.84%
Cains opponents combine UFC record is 35-21, 62.50%

Against Champions
Fedor has fought 10 times against people who have held UFC championships, with a record of 8-2 against them (Arlovski/Sylvia/Randlemani/Werdum/Nogueirax3/Colemanx2/Henderson)

*GSP has also fought 10 times against people who have held UFC championships, with a record of 8-2 against them (Pennx2/Condit/Serrax2/Hendricks), 
*Hughes has fought 10 and is 6-4, (Pennx3/GSPx3/Sherk/Serra)
*Liddell has fought a whopping 13, but is 7-6 against them
*Jones is 6-0, Rashad is 5-1 and Faber is 3-5

Against Contenders
Fedor has fought 6 people who challenged for a UFC Championships, but never won one (Hunt/Lindland/Sobral/Rizzo/Silva/Monson) and is 5-1 against them

This puts him behind only Mighty Mouse (6-0) GSP (6-0) and Anderson Silva who is 7-1(Sonnenx2/Maia/Horn/Marquardt/Cote)

Only 1 person who has ever fought in the UFC/Pride/WEC/Strikeforce/Affliction/k1 has a streak longer that Fedors (27), which was Igor Vovchanchyn (35 Wins) 

19 of Fedor’s opponents were ranked in the top 10 - The same amount oftotal wins Couture has, 2 more than JDS's total wins, 1 more than mirs total wins, 3 more fights then Cain has even had and 10 more than Lesnar.

Fedor was never knocked down by any kind of strike, tho Hendo planted him when they were already downed. - No UFC heavyweight champion or contender in history can say this, and Jon Jones is the only Light Heavyweight who can claim this


     

 

Dunno, plagiarized that from sherdog. Lol

I do know two of his losses are to known PED users.

And by your logic everyone in Pride was on steriods, thus the playing field was equal. So had Fedor been on PEDS what advantage did he actually have??

You didn't answer the question though.

Link that shizz cuz

After hearing Duane Ludwig predict a two-round knockout win for his protégé, current UFC champion T.J. Dillashaw, in a potential match-up against Cruz, "The Dominator" minced no words with his scathing response Monday on The MMA Hour.

"It doesn't mean anything," a heated Cruz said. "Because Duane Ludwig is the same guy who told (Joseph) Benavidez, ‘just keep going forward on Demetrious Johnson. He doesn't sit down on his punches, he can't knock you out.'

"What happened to Benavidez? He got knocked out, and that's because Duane Ludwig told him ‘don't worry about Demetrious Johnson knocking you out, just go forward, he doesn't hit hard.' Duane Ludwig could learn something from me. I could be Duane Ludwig'scoach. Straight up. And so could (Alliance MMA head trainer) Eric del Fierro."

"Just believe that you can do it, and that all everybody else says is just a bunch of crap. Duane Ludwig is talking a bunch of nonsense about knocking me out. He doesn't know anything. Have you heard him in an interview? He's stuttering the whole time. The guy has been hit in his head too much already. The bottom line is, these guys don't understand what I bring to the table. They don't understand the style I bring. They don't understand any of it. They think they do, but everything is a trap. I'm going to trap T.J. and he's going to get slept."

"The smartest thing T.J. Dillashaw ever did was leave Team Alpha Male," Cruz said. "Because he's not going to be able to do nothing with those guys. Ludwig already said that. He already told Alpha Male that. They got all sad and started crying about it on Twitter, but I see the same thing that Duane Ludwig does, and that's what T.J. Dillashaw sees also, and that's why he's not at Alpha Male training anymore. He's up in Colorado."

Cruz could be Ludwigs striking coach

you know damn well he was never taken down even once in his first 5 UFC fights and the last fight was with 2 weeks notice against the best wrestler in the division. More importantly he was injured for the entire camp and wasn't able to practice even one round of wrestling all camp AND he also didn't give a shite about takedowns during the fight. He knew he would destroy Mini-Mendes on the feet and that Mini could do nothing to him on the ground. Sure he was taken down but he knew with his gameplan he would dispatch of Mini within 2 rounds and sure enough he did.

It was just a matter of time. Uriah never got along with Bang from day one, and TJ is his boy. I still don't think he has officially left TAM though.

Magny and Hester hopefully both are getting some extra cash to take those fights.

Hope Magny doesn't get the Brazilian Shuffle done on him.
