    Fedor vs Rizzo (SpoileR)

    Fedor killed him. It was violent. The video is already up on youtube but I'm too lazy to find it.

        Yeah, never seen him bounce an unconcious guy's head off the canvas like that. Not a meaninful win but clearly he is still capable of hanging with top fighters.

          Somewhat sad to see his transition from a grappling-based all-around balanced fighter to a pure puncher, but it was ongoing for years even before he started taking losses. Power is the last thing to go, as they say.

            He's almost always been a striker first and grappler second. He usually beat people down until he could submit them. Depending on the opponent and where he felt his best chance to win was where the fight would take place. I think his biggest problem was he stopped being as calculated. Look at his older fights, he was aggressive, but he wasn't as short sited in what was next.

              He was not at all primarily a striker unless you mean on the ground, the best GnP practitioner in the history of the sport in fact. His game plan was to get the fight on the ground, strikes were only to set that up and he was constantly using judo throws when in close. His submission game was top notch as well.

                I think his game plan was find the distance with strikes, see what he could set up, if it was a takedown he would, if it was punches, he'd take that route. He had the best transition game in the sport and probably still does.

                    Fedor in his early days was regarded as the most feared grappler, everyone avoided going to ground with him, even top grapplers. Then Fedor also became a very feared striker.

                    It was only when Fedor stoped training, had no desire, and became a brawler that he became exposed.

                    Fedor in his last three fights stopped being a brawler when he finally joined full time with the best K-1 strikers/team in the business. He then became even more deadly. His previously not often used kicks then started up again, his fitness, his handspeed, his grappling, and most importantly his game plan.
