Fedor Emelianenko has finally lost

(1/3) > >>

Halu Sination:
His first REAL loss, as nobody took that loss from a cut seriously in 2000. He tapped out to a triangle armbar against Fabricio Werdum within the 2nd minute of the 1st round. Even though I bet against Fedor and made some pretty good money (Werdum was +425 on on the moneyline), I still have to say, I'm pretty damn speechless.

The sad thing is, Fedor was supposed to fight Overeem (an opponent who is generally considered far superior to Werdum), and I think Fedor would have actually won that fight. Fedor's biggest moments have always been against huge strikers with tendencies of getting overconfident.

Fedor struggled against Babalu and Arona, both of which are ground experts. I admit I thought Fedor would still win this fight too, but I don't know why so many people were instantly writing Werdum off. Hence the reason I bet on Werdum, I thought those odds were too good to pass up on.

Crazy fuckin day. You should've heard how silent the crowd became as soon as Fedor tapped.

Shallow:
Dana White has an ear to ear grin right now, and is probably already thinking of a way to get Werdum in the ring with a UFC guy than can clobber him.

It was definitely surreal for me. Considering the way things are going with his management I didnt think I'd ever see him lose. Crazy shit, the odds I saw had him at +350. Got caught up trying to do what he did against Big Nog, 1:09 was the official time.

No doubt Dana ruined whatever pants he was wearing, he's gonna have a fuckin field day with this.

LOL @ Werdum not wanting to fight Overeem next, take the W and keep it movin.

lol, no real need. Werdum fought in the UFC already, he came in after UFC bought out PRIDE. He did pretty well, but in his last fight, he got his ass kicked by Junior Dos Santos, and the UFC ended up letting Werdum go because they thought he wasn't worth the money. I'm sure Dana White is gonna milk all of this for what its worth.

Shallow:
I just saw it. Man Fedor just got hasty and stupid. He thought he had him dead to right and walked right into between his legs and even when he had a chance to get up and regroup he stayed on the position and kept up that stupid hammer punching. He should have let him get back up and knocked him down again. I really hate ground and pound in general. You may as well allow eye gouging.

Now I'm convinced Danny Hodge would have killed Fedor in a prime vs prime.


All that being said, you know he's getting the rematch and you know he's gonna kill this guy.
