Not following the logic here, if Barry has a mediocre chin for getting steamrolled by Kongo (his only KO loss) then Fedor is a glass jaw for getting rocked by Fujita and then
slap KO'd by Hendo.
His striking is far better than Fedor's (did you actually watch Fedor's last few fights?) and his gas tank seems fine - even good for a HW.
Fedor would come out looking to throw a cartoon network roadrunner vs coyote style haymaker and get lit up, more than likely. Dude was blatantly outstruck by Antonio Silva, lol.
None of these match-ups have much chance to come to fruition because Fedor - of course - won't be signed by the UFC after getting wrecked in 3 fights straight. There's no reason to sign him unless they're looking for another Jardine.
Man, an H-bomb uppercut is a
slap for you?? This is insane. Henderson is one of the heaviest hitters the sport have ever seen.And as I said before,Fedor recovered instantly, regardless those illegal blows on the back of the head, this only made the premature stoppage even worse.
As for the striking part, your observation is pretty inaccurate in my opinion.
Orthodox is not the same as
better,specially if you are talking about strikes. Using your logic, japanesse fighters must be the best strikers in the world...can you see it? Neither do I...
And please, do not compare Silva to Barry...they are completely different animals...are you serious?
Oh, you must be, because you are able to compare Fedor to Jardine
