I love Fedor, but acting like he didn’t have a record padded by nonsense matchups is just silly. I don’t think it’s his fault, pride was just into weird shit. Hong man Choi, zuluzhino, Matt the middle weight lindland, etc.
That said, what he accomplished is still remarkable and unlikely to ever be topped. When he wasn’t being fed cans and freak show fights, he was stomping out the worlds best. It can be both, padded record AND beat the best in the world,
HW is the shallowest division and he fought in an entirely different era
khabib has no excuse his record is padded
