I agree with everything you said, except Fedor wouldn't. According to him, MMA is not a passion. It's a mere job. Maybe that's why he's so good? He goes to work, does his job, go home. That's why he's never nervous... so he can always maintain his adrenaline levels at optimum level when most fighters (like Rogers) would have their adrenaline levels going thru the roof, disabling them from functioning at 100%. | ||

just read the article about him with the large intreview in one the most famous magazines in Russia. It was written a week ago - before the fight. Some points that i've liked: - one of the ppl in the crowd remembered that a little time ago Fedor was defeated in the sambo division for the first time (from some Bolgarian Sambo fighter Ivanov). His response on that was "We also make mistakes" Then he proceeded to tell some differencies in pure sambo and MMA, that he likes more MMA as a fight "without your jacket" and you can go to the ground not just stand. - Fedor said: "now i'm gonna fight with Rogers, so i'm learning about his strong qualities. He has a huge phisical strength, knock-out punch, and explosive speed. I don't have a plan for the fight yet. Will fight according to what will happen in the cage - i will see what Rogers will suggest" - Fedor recently got married (and yes he has a daughter). So according to his coach he didn't practice a lot because of that. He's more into family now. And i also think that his powers come from his religion - as he has no fear, he relies on God and believes that God will help him to win. That's where come his calmness and impressive aggressiveness from. | ||

That's where come his calmness and impressive aggressiveness from. Fedor's mental strength is just astounding. I find myself approaching my first amateur fight and am honestly unable to sleep sometimes. I've trained my body for quite some time but my mind is still weak as hell. The crowd, the yells, the fight, my gameplan, and even my damn entrance music is coming into question. Fedor doesn't get nervous and he doesn't buy into hype. He is supremely confident in his abilities. He doesn't maddog his opponents at the staredowns or weighins; he simply looks at them like another object in the room. He looks at his opponents the way many of us look at a burger were about to eat; he knows all he can do is eat he burger and all the burger can do is be eaten. | ||

But I have to say the mixture of Fedor not being as dominant as he used to be and Rogers being stronger than I thought made this a very nice fight to watch | ||

I mean actually even if Fedor loses one day ( He will if he doesnt quit at the right time ) he probably will be remembered as the greatest of all time never the less... | ||

Sorry for relating this to Starcraft. But when I started idolizing sAviOr it was after I idolized Fedor.. So it was like they're the unstoppable Gods you know what I meanaaa? | ||

That's a good comparison, it went from "oh he's losing" to "oh he's raping" in the blink of an eye. | ||
