I stopped watching after 30secs.

First of all he has beaten many top fighters

Cro Cop, Nogueira, Arlovski, Sylvia were all top 5 heavyweights when he fought them.

Also Fedor is a small heavyweight, one of the smallest, he is usually 230-35lbs and around 20lbs of that is fat at least, so therefore he would actually be a small LHW! Which makes his wins against the bigger opponents even more impressive.

Cro Cop was past it when he went into the UFC, he and everyone who knows MMA agrees. Even Noguiera is a bit past it but he still won the Title, Arlovski and Sylvia also held the title and Fedor has beaten other former UFC champs too.

The guy is fighting people who are much stronger and larger than him, he is a little fatty lol and he's the only guy who's faced top guys and gone undefeated (his only loss is controversial because he lost on a cut and the rules in that promotion stated that a fighter MUST progress to the next round so they had to give him the loss, he dismantled the guy who won that night in a re-match).

I do agree that Fedor would struggle more in a cage and in the UFC (more likely to lose) but that's merely because the cage favours wrestlers and bigger opponents and in the HW division he would be giving away natural weight to just about every fighter. In his prime he would've fared better, but what he has achieved is unbelievable. He has beaten some elite fighters and you can't question that, yes he has also fought some smaller opponents but him being an overweight HW (he could probably make MW if he cut properly) it doesn't make as much difference as someone like Brock facing a a LHW. Couture is another example of a small HW doing well but even he is naturally bigger than Fedor (less fat) and his record isn't as impressive even though he's considered one of the best ever.
