Fedor is boss at striking

[monaroCountry]

The fight starts at 10 minutes in the video. Fedor's combo and accuracy and power is fantastic.

Even covering up, Fedor still opened Ishii's defences. Fedor's standup seems ahead of all other HW's. Good job working with top kickboxers.

Look at near the end, Josh Barnett looked like he just picked up Fedor and Tim Silvia looked like the third wheel lol.

This shows that your such a noob, you also probably predicted a Lesnar win. Since Dana told all his zombie followers that Brock was the baddest man in the planet.

Fedor showd great standup, precise powerful anf fast. Hes mixing it up more with kicks, knees, punches. And hes still a boss on the ground and unlike old Fedor this new one wont be following a BJJ wizard on the ground.

All these Zuffa hyped fighters have been exposed as frauds, Overeem just finished two of them in quick succession. I think Fedor, Sergei, and Josh (the old and experienced Pride guards that includes Overeem) would slaughter these so called UFC new breeds.

JDS lost to Joaquim Ferreira______who? Joaquim Ferreira, a LHW with a ****ty record who not many people have heard of.

I like JDS and he is a good fighter, its just Dana's zombies that is hyping him up to the high heavens. For gods sake JDS isnt too proven, hasnt shown top level grappling or extraordinary striking. Let JDS earn his status as a top fighter, Fedor has already earnt his.

Fedor WAS great his best days are behind him. From here on out I don't see him facing any top HWs until he's ready to cash out. I'm not taking anything away from his prime but right now it's obvious that age and wear have caught up. Also why all the DW hate, dude has done a lot for mma people should be a little grateful.

Ishii is certainly not a worldclass opponent, and this also bore out in the fight. Fedor showed he can still hang with judo gold medalists in the clinch though, if nothing else. Ishii got a leg, and went for a takedown which failed, but the single leg is certainly not a judoka's forte; he did however use it to establish a clinch against the ropes. Fedor used his great strength, especially his hip strength, and also his tremendous judo and sambo clinch game (he's the best combat sambo artist in history, and was the second best (though he claims politics kept him out of the #1 spot, and who knows he could be right) in Russia, a very tough judo country, for many years. He redirected Ishii, again a 2008 judo Olympics champion, and sent him to the ground, very impressive stuff.

Also, Fedor showed great handspeed in this fight. It is more difficult to gauge on video, but I was in the arena. The leg kick is sort of a new tool in his arsenal, in that he didn't use it much in the past.

Fedor lost 3 fights in a row. It happens. Few would argue that he wasn't winning the Werdum or the Henderson fight, prior to the stoppages. A loss is a loss. Many fighters never recover from a loss. What the future holds for Fedor is still anyone's guess. But if you watch the fights, and don't just troll message boards, it should be obvious enough that the guy still has a tremendous amount of ability. His reflexes are not shot. He isn't getting knocked out unconscious every time he receives a tap on the chin, ala Chuck Liddell. He still has the ability to hang with anybody in the world, I don't care who. Whether or not he would win a particular given fight is simply anyone's guess, but he is still a world class fighter. He was the best fighter in the sport for years, and no longer reigns supreme, but he is still a top fighter, and he is apparently intent on continuing on. So where is the need to denigrate.
