The talent has gotten worse since they were ranked that high. A WWE wrestler with 5 fights against cans and washed up fogies under his belt is considered the #2 HW right now. Loads of talent!
You can spin it all you want in retrospect, but Fedor decimated two fighters considered among the 3 best in the HW division at the time he fought them.
The talent has gotten worse in the HW division...are you serious?
Randy demolished Tim Sylvia too around the same time. That speaks for itself.
Like I said before, Fedor was smart for fighting the guys when they were fresh off their shit-canning from the UFC. Their rankings were high at the time because overall the HW division in MMA was mediocre.
I will admit, Werdum is the best talent Fedor had fought in a while, but that is not really saying much.
Fedor sure loves himself some UFC shit-canned rejects
Easy paydays for sure. Can't blame him for wanting easy money.
