He faced his fair share of jobbers but his domination over the biggest names of his Era cements him as an all time great
One of the best yeah not the best though.
@@mhutch5082 Fedor is the greatest heavyweight MMA fighter of all time. Hands DOWN. There can be no debate he was undefeated for A DECADE. That's it. 10 years? Winner.
The other GOAT is Kazushi Sakuraba especially since he fought mostly guys much bigger than him and also was undefeated for almost a decade as well.
@@RazgrizStraitz I get it. But the whole not joining the ufc thing kinda makes me think otherwise
@@mhutch5082 Sounds like you started watching MMA a year ago.
@@Disconnect350 nope. His legacy is questionable as he never fought in the ufc.
He fought pretty much highest opponent available at the moment for promotions. There were no reaso s to throw a cans to him since He beat Top5 like they were cans.
He beat cans sure he also beat bonafide legends and multiple UFC champions.
He didn't want to get smashed in UFC. That's why he didn't come over. He can take more steroids in Japan and fight easier opponents. Randy would have smashed him easily.
Stupid muricans
@@markchapman2585you're dumb if you actually think that.
@@markchapman2585easily is a stretch and Fedor's never tested positive
@tcwentertainment Funny how he never come to America he stayed in Japan way easier there's not many tests doctors and promoters turn their heads. The dude lost the Bigfoot he didn't want to come out of the corner. A real goat never do that.
Goodridge wasn’t a can, he just fought way past his prime and developed CTE during in his 7 fight loosing streak.
Fedor consistently faced elite competition during his prime in organizations like PRIDE and Strikeforce. He defeated fighters who were champions or top contenders in their respective weight classes. Victories over legends like Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, Mirko Cro Cop, and Mark Coleman, to name just a few.
Khabib is a can crusher that record is embellished
Khabib made it look too easy against Poirier, Gaethje & Conor
Those 3 fighters, it should've been a war but Khabib made it look too easy 🙄 🤦♂
Khabib is KING
@LurkerDood maybe against Poirer, but he was having a tough time and getting TD stuffed against Gaethje and McGregor until he wore them down.
@@OogaBoogaBooga6969
I was saying Gaethje should give Khabib problems since he's a wrestler + a powerful striker! I didn't watch the fight cause I accidentally watched highlights of the fight! All I saw was Gaethje running away looking all tired & then getting submitted. i had no reason to watch fight after seeing that pathetic display by Gaethje 🙄 🤦♂
When you fight Poirer, Gaethje and McGregor
It's not supposed to look that easy, you're supposed to take damage
Khabib made it look effing easy! 🙄 🤦♂
Khabib is GOAT & I don't even like him!
see how you can only list those 3 and that all khabib boys can ever name. He fought jobbers before the ufc and when he got there fought average skilled guys until those 3 men ya mention .They literally made his legacy , without conor, and the two justins, his legacy is suspicious af @@LurkerDood
Ogawa was a silver medal in judo when fedor beat him with an arm bar, he wasnt a can.
*He beat more UFC champions than anyone in the UFC without even being a part of it.* #Respect
More than Alistair Overeem?
@@ekayn1606 Yes, Overeem only beat 4, Fedor beat 8.
@@Matt_Mosley1983 Blatantly incorrect. Fedor beat 6 UFC champs and some sucked compared to the champs that Stipe beat.
Fedor beat Coleman 2x, Randleman, Arlovski, Mir and Sylvia, making his record 6-0.
Stipe beat Werdum, DC 2x, Ngannou, JDS, Arlovski again, 6 champs
When you compare the caliber of fighters, beating ngannou and DC alone is way better than anyone on Fedors list
@@kwalterrasquinha413 you don't know what blatantly means and we we're comparing him to Stipe, not at all. Stop crying.
@@Matt_Mosley1983 i do actually, and you may need a google search to correct yourself. You said fedor beat 8 champs when he didnt. That my friend, is a blatant lie
What The Hell? NO. Cro Cop, Arlovski, Sylvia, Randleman, Dude Beat So Many Former UFC Champs And Real Established Contenders During His Prime.
Sure. But that doesn’t mean his record wasn’t padded with bar fights or jobbers.
One does not exclude the other.
@@matepavic6929Kinda does though.
Was his record padded with some nobodies? Sure. But you can only fight the fights you get. Doesn't make you a can crusher, like Travis Fulton.
@@sirtoby4939 You can be both. If he fought bums at the start of his career, like many pro MMA fighters and boxers do, sure, no problem there, they all do it, but when you're fighting them during your prime and at your peak, that's kinda... Not very cash money of you.
@@sirtoby4939Oof, we don’t speak his name. 😂
So glad you've kept your chin up through some tough times for you! Thanks for the upload!
How do you not recognize Fujita?
perhaps in the top 3 greatest Japanese fighters ever. Not better than Sakuraba of course, but very good.
@@RazgrizStraitz not close to a top 3, Shinya Aoki, Yuki Kondo , Funaki , Minoru Suzuki all better than Fujita
When we're questioning if Big Daddy Gary Goodridge was a "can", the term has lost all meaning.
you have to crush cans when you want to stay active as many big name fighters will be wary and hesitant to fight with contracts and money
This is a spicy topic.
Next episode:
Was George a can crusher?
I think there's a case to be made that Maldobobbo beat him.
You would have to had seen it at the time,how many times now do you see mismatches?
This was a narrative created by UFC zombies (Dana Slap White followers). PRIDE was different and when he fought Ogawa for example (a decent fighter and silver olympic medalist in Judo) it was on the Grand Prix. Plus Rings was filled with great fighters and he fought Babalu and Arona there. And in PRIDE we don’t even need to say it was the biggest organization with the best fighters, while UFC sucked, but Fedor still beat the UFC guys.
Fedor could wash ten times the dishes Kiyon can
Fujita was a can?....nearly turned off when you said that
U India kiiyon kimura?
No.
No he wasn’t, he was and still is the HW goat
Tell that to STIPE✝️🇺🇸
Stipe beats Jones and HE is the HW GOAT for sure!@@paolothorpe1461
@@paolothorpe1461 stop it boy prime fedor would assault prime stipe absolutely batter him 😂😂😂 soy country

I wanted to take a moment to express my deep appreciation for your openness in sharing your hardships, even as a successful CZcamsr. Your honesty and vulnerability have had a profound impact on me, and it has inspired me to get my own life on track. Your journey serves as a reminder that success is not without its challenges, and your willingness to share both sides of your story is truly commendable. Thank you for being a source of motivation and guidance in my life.
Sincerely,
A big fan from the beginning ❤ @Kiyonkumura
Yes, this is the content we want Key.
This argument has always been silly. Sambo is Khabibs base as well and he ran through the UFC including best of the best in bjj RDA. Fedor had better striking than khabib as well. He would've destroyed current hw champions if he fought. Not to mention fedor is just as accomplished in sambo if not more.
He put a clinic on guys like hunt, silvia, coleman, nog who then all went to become UFC champions. Also this is back in the day where pride literally encouraged doping lol
Honestly most fighters face cans. Dana white likes to say fedor faced alot of cans but doesnt talk about his wins of pride greats former ufc champs etc. Does facing a couple of cans ruin your legacy? Khabib faced a shit ton of cans before the ufc like half his fights were cans but u hear nothing but praise for him weird.
Cro Cop? Big Nog? Are they "cans"!?😅
Fujita beat Kerr and Shamrock hardly a can
Hell yeah, I'm so glad this got brought up. Its about time someone mentioned this.
No.
i mean his win against a juiced to the gills Randleman is enough for me to say he’s one of the 🐐
definently not a can crusher. beat over 12 world champions
Fedor was one of the best but he’s not over Cain, Stipe or Lesnar
Cain and Stipe, sure but I guess Lesnar would have been in big trouble...
No one educated in this sport should ever be saying there is any heavyweight above Fedor. You could try to say Jon Jones, but only him. UNDEFEATED FOR A DECADE? Done. What else is there to say? Fedor was KING for 10 years.
@@RazgrizStraitz he fought tomatoes. Stipe beat 6 incredibly hard champs. Fedor beat 6 too but his was way lower
With Cain and Stipe in the picture it's a tough fight but LESNAR? F**** LESNAR? What the actual f****? His career PALES in front of most Heavyweight champions.
He not to goat thats for shure
Yes but also no
Bruh the word "can" sounds weird and meaningless now😂
Especially talking about a winning record fighter and/or former champion. Like, I've heard Ferguson and BJ Penn being called cans! That's just rude, lol.
Disrespectful and he's not
First
He fought many good fighters and most people he fought were juiced to the gills back then.
No way is he the GOAT though. There were many questionable people that he had fights with.
Yes, but he was the greatest can crusher.
Sorry but anyone that thinks fedor just beat cans never watched pride. Sabral, Crocop, Minotauro, Randleman. He destroyed Tim Sylvia, a UFC champion, Arlovski, another champ. Coleman was a UFC champion.
Fedor was the best of his era but his era was filled with roids and cherry picked matchups also Fedor was like the only hw at the time that was actually a well rounded mma fighter, in today's UFC he would be a gate keeper at best
Cherry Picked Matchups? You Do Realize, Up Until Pride Closed... They Had The BEST HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION In Any MMA Promotion.
You can not compare eras though, it just doesnt work, athletes are always improving and getting better as time goes on.
Absolutely a can crusher. The Japan circuit while entertaining as hell is phony and fake as shit. But at the same time he did beat some of the best heavyweights in the world at the time despite never competing in the UFC and being technically undefeated for damn near 10 years.
100% a can crusher
The reason why I consider Mirko better than him is because Crocop was brave enough to actually step into the UFC cage and fight the best while Fedor decided to stay in Asia and fought dopey giants and washed up fighters.
Its comical when young fans chirp about Fedor because its cool to say cool things about a guy with a cool nickname.
Here's the indictment on his status of GOAT:
As soon as Fedor decided to venture to the states and fight some of the best, not only did he get his ass kicked by them but they also happened to be what we consider old washed up UFC fighters.
Hendo knocked him out, Big Foot, Verdum and guys like Meathead and Ryan Bader - all washed up UFC fighters ended up kicking his ass.
In order to deserve the goat status you need to vaporize fighters like the ones that ended up knocking his ass out - you don't get knocked out by them.
Listen, we don't have to debate anything. Let his record speak for itself.
When he wasn't getting his ass kicked by old washed up UFC fighters he was beating fighters like Jaideep Singh.
He had his chance to step in to the cage and fight the best but he chose to stay in Asia in order to fight dopey giants.
Debate OVER.
He was older then as well , yhr only way to have gotten gim at his peak was about 2006 or 2005. Cro Cop notoriously had a worse but mixed results time in America when he went.
@@tcwentertainment true... but so were the fighters that ended up sleeping him. Its why I refer to themtap washed up, the UFC let them go because they were no longer in their prime.
Hendo and Werdum started in Pride though, wouldn't really call them ufc fighters. For werdum, I think strikeforce fighter would a better description because that's when he hit his prime. Imo Strikeforce, considering its smaller revenues, had better ability talent on average than ufc and pride
Also Fedor fought in Affliction in the US, and beat former ufc champions Arlovski and Tim Sylvia. Funny thing is that I don't even consider Tim to be that good of a fighter, yet he was still 10-4 in the ufc at the time and a champion with 2 title defenses
Look at the ufc guys during Fedor's prime (early mid 2000s). The Buentello brothers, Mark Coleman, Arlovski, Couture, almost all of them got destroyed and took a ton of losses during the late 2000s same as Fedor. Were the ufc guys "exposed" too? Or they were just aging out...
Anyone that claimed Fedor fought cans is full of shit.
Even claiming Fedor fought inexperienced fighters a bullshit claim, as well. Just give credit where it's due, and it admit you're wrong.
*The TOP 7 GREATEST MMA Fighters in History are Sakuraba, Fedor, Anderson Silva, Khabib, Mighty Mouse, Jon Jones, & GSP.*
You must be serious using all capitals 🤡
I like your playlist dopey 🤡
