So Fedor lost his second fight in a row last weekend and now for someone who was formerly considered the best heavyweight ever as well as hte best pound for pound fighter is suddenly talking about retirement. I will say that this does seem to prove the point that people were saying about Fedor being fed opponents that he could beat up. I mean he didn't even fight for the title in strikeforce when he could obviously have done that as his first fight easily with his record and fame. Now that's he's lost two in a row what does everyone think he should do? Retire or come back and prove he's still badass?

Maybe he can get a contract with the ufc.

Anyone know when M1 Global started managing him? I'm curious if that coincides with his downfall in MMA. Nobody can deny the destruction he has done in the past by beating Mirko and Big Nog 3 times when they were all considered the best HWs in the world. But he hasn't evolved & hasn't competed consistently for years now. I think he should retire, how's M1 going to promote him now that's he's lost twice in a row? I just don't see a road ending much different for Fedor if he fights unless he's given an easy opponent cuz lets face it, he's a stubborn russian who isn't going to change his training. I'm curious to see how this unfolds in the next few weeks.

M-1 better start throwing him ome money then for sure because since he is so stubborn he will get hurt because he won't change his training. If there is another fight and it's against an easy opponent that will be very sad indeed. And @beastmaster your joking right? Dana is doing backflips laughing right now thankful that he doesn't have Fedor right now and he definitely won't sign him now. Unless he gets him for like a really really really small fee, which Fedor would not agree to anyway
