Fujita is the obvious one. Arona one is debatable but that would be considered his closest fight that went to a decision. I felt Randleman's suplex and Rogers' GnP is along the same lines...it looked devastating but in both cases Fedor turned it around and went for a submission within seconds. He wasn't rocked in both cases either. If people are going to mention Rogers breaking Fedor's nose within seconds... then they should mention Lindland cutting Fedor within seconds. Both had no effect on the rest of the fight.

Hunt is a good pick and to me is a longer version of what AA was doing. AA was tagging him on the feet and got overzealous and got KO'ed. Hunt didn't know how to finish, and Fedor turned it around and finished him via sub.

arona definately beat him

i'd have to go with fujita. he was on queer street for a second

[Fedorlei Gomipierre]

I'll say this:

HAD Andrei Arlovski not blown his wad and gone for that ridiculous flying knee, he had Fedor in more sincere danger than anybody to date, on a much grander scale than just simply rocking/dazing him, he was progessively beating Fedor and garnering MORE an MORE and MORE steam. For Arlovski's gameplan was simply on point and superior to what Fedor could offer and was being executed to perfection with great timing and pacing and was really putting Fedor in danger in a "long haul/culmination" battle sense and honestly consider it a very telling fight to see how a "superior athlete" could utilize their skills to really threaten Fedor.

Arona beat Fedor.
He definitely took the 1st round & was outwrestling him the whole time.
Fedor was winning in the (sloppy) stand up though.
Arona's reaction after the fight is classic.

Fujita with the headkick was definitely close.

And Arlovski was definitely putting Fedor in trouble that he hasn't seen for years.
Was way quicker in the exchanges.

But Fedors robot abilities made him fight through the Fujita & Arlovski fights.
But he definitely lost to Arona.

Crocop in 2nd rnd stunned fedor, but missed with head kick which could have finished the fight, and fedor was beaten up very badly at that fight the most. Definetively fedor won that fight, but I believe it was very close fight and one little mistake would have cost the fight. It is still my most favorite fight, cause fedor the best hwt against crocop on his prime with alot of striking game, simply the most epic fight ever.

I think the 2nd Nog fight (the no contest) was going pretty well for Nog compared to the other 2. Haven't watched it recently so flame me if needed.

Some people said Rogers, not really. He was missing alot of those punches, and you could literally see Fedor was still coherent and working on something. Unlike the Fujita fight where it looked like he was on cloud9.

Fedors face told a different story. He couldnt have been missing too much. Rogers made a good showing for himself.

Fujita had Fedor rocked but I don't think if he was a striker Fedor would leave himself that open to get rocked but that was the only time I've seen Fedor actually hurt. The Randleman slap looked like it broke Fedor's neck and he didn't even squint in pain. I think also Mark Hunt's figure four attempt was very dangerous.

[Thor's Hammer]

I'm don't remember the rules of RINGS, but didn't they have a rule where you could not strike from the guard (GnP)? I remember someone saying that once. If so, then taking away Fedor's GnP is huge deal imo.
