Fedor is a human after all, there is always bad days. Werdum is the best on the ground, I can't get why Fedor was so reckless. many in the US try to play down his greatness, now they have got a good opportunity. Fedor should be seeking rematch ASAP, and should finally sign with UFC. This is where he can perpetuate his name in the annals of sport, though he is already a legend.

Fedor should get his revenge on werdum, it is hard to believe he lost to a guy that is nowhere as good as him, does not make any sense at all. Fedor knows how to counter submissions. And then fight two or may be the three best in the UFC and retire.He has still a few fights left in him.The UFC guys are no way as technical or as good as he is. Take my advisce fedor and do that.Dont let anyone take what you have achieved, because know one has ever achieved what you have in the mixed martial arts world especialy today as the sport is more tougher then ever.
