I've been saying this for awhile now but to reiterate... Fedor Emelianko is and has been overrated! To be clear I do think that Fedor is probably one of the best Heavyweights in the world and at a time was probably one of the, if not the best fighter in the world (in his Pride days circa 2003-2006). But he hasn't fought any serious top 10 heavyweights in the last 5 years. With his first ever MMA loss, his mystique of being undefeated and unbeatable is now gone. Kind of like When Buster Douglas beat Mike Tyson.
Here's a link to the fight video:

I use this site whenever I miss a fight on PPV or if I want to replay the fight. The site usually gets the fights up pretty quickly after they happen live. You just have to keep checking until they are posted. Check it out!
Fedor seemed like a classy guy in defeat, so I will give him the benefit of the doubt. But he kinda put himself in a bad situation rushing in not once, but twice into possible armbars He showed alot of heart trying to get out of that tight traingle/armbar but to no avail. Plus, anyone can get caught at anytime in MMA and it's not like Werdum is a slouch. Werdum is a BJJ (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) WORLD champion and chokes/submissions are his game. Werdum should get some praise for winning this fight cause it wasn't luck that he got that triangle/armbar on so tight. It was skill. So congrats Fabricio Werdum you just beat an MMA legend!
