Fedor is easily the best fighter I've ever seen, and in my humble opinion is the G.O.A.T.
In my opinion, despite his old age, slowed speed/reflexes, I believe he would still be able to beat 99% of the UFC HW roster in a ring under JMMA rules. Obviously we'll never get to see that, but a man can dream. In any case, Fedor had a great run and we as MMA fans were treated to something special that we may not see again any time soon. It was a great run and now it is time to ride off into the sunset. I salute the man, the myth, the legend, Fedor.
Dammit, in a perfect Universe Dana would be able to bring both Fedor and Randy out of retirement for the Last match of two true legends.......oh well. Thanks for the memories Fedor, youre a 1st class martial artist in a league of your own. More fighters should study this man and how he carries himself.....

"I don't call the fighting in my films 'violent', I call it 'action'. An action film borders between fantasy and reality. If I were to be completely realistic in my films, you would call me a violent, bloody man. I would simply destroy my opponent by tearing his guts out. I wouldn't do it so artistically." ~Bruce Lee
Overall, I've got him as the GOAT. From his skill set, to the level of his opponents, to the respect he had for the industry and for the fighter across from him, he was simply the best in my opinion.
I find it difficult to believe it's over, and like Fedorlie, I keep hoping something happens; but I'm really OK with it. He's got nothing to prove, and owes nobody anything.
But still, it should be raining today.

I am glad i got to see him fight live twice I got to see him fight Rogers and Hendo. I still think The Hendo fight was an early stoppage but what ever nothing can change that now.
I am proud to say i was a fan since i saw my first pride fighting championships at 2 AM on fox sports net when they replayed the Fedor vs Fujita fight.
