I agree...Fedor had his win streak and now he's just another fighter to the today's MMA fan. The guy is a recluse. How would they ever market him without his win streak?
Hm...let me think. As the winningest heavyweight ever? As the last man to hold the heavyweight belt of the most mythical MMA organization ever? As the only MMA fighter to have carried the Olympic torch and be named his country's greatest athlete?
You make it seem as his one loss makes him absolute garbage. He went into the guard of the World's best grappler, made a mistake and got caught. When you are in the guard of a BJJ master, you can't afford to make even a tiny mistake and he made it. It happens. Even Rickson Gracie(7th degree BJJ master) has been caught and submitted by other BJJ masters.
BTW, I am not a Fedor fan-boy. I remember from the days of PRIDE that I always considered Fedor to be too small for a heavyweight. Also Fedor is a ground fighter and I find ground fighters boring. I like strikers. My favorite MMA fighter ever is Wandy. I have no reasons to defend Fedor, but I find it incredible that you consider him garbage just because he made a mistake in the guard of a BJJ master and got caught. Cain Velasquez, JDS, Carwin and other UFC heavyweights would have been caught even faster in the same situation given that their grappling is inferior to Fedor's - yes, I know JDS has a black belt in BJJ but we have never seen him grapple out of submission attempts and Fedor is a Sambo World champion, so Fedor is probably the better grappler.
