Most Overrated Fighters (Blame IC for This)

By the way, Fedor's fights over the last 5 years haven't been career draining wars either. I don't think any of them went to a decision. Fedor started fighting in his teens.... Okay so did Vitor Belfort. Rampage was 21 when he started fighting and has fought out a pace that has allowed him to surpass the number of fights Fedor has. Don't you think his body would be more worn down, especially when you consider the fights he's had since joining the UFC compared to the fights Fedor has had since Pride folded? Anderson was doing muay thai in his late teens. Should his 36 year old body be breaking down on him? I'm tempted to agree on Wandy though.

I was applying the same to fedor in terms of fight volume... thats why i said those guys were bad examples if your going to argue that. And while fedor's last fights may not have been against guys in their prime, he was still fighting former world champs that were top 10 ranked at the time.

vitor never fought consistently throughout his whole career. Hes taken huge breaks in action. And seeing how he had back to back injuries last year id say his body is wearing down as well.

Rampage is still going strong, but he has changed his fighting style a lot from the beginning of his career. Hes much slower and less aggressive looking to brawl and throw counters.


Silva is lucky that he employs a style that really makes him take no damage. However seeing how a year ago he went under the knife to fix an elbow because of bone spurs, then yes id say his body is feeling the effects of a career.
