I'm pretty sure he just means his striking is based on throwing bombs 100% of the time hoping for the ko.
He's not exactly a technical striker is he ?
Great card from SF yet again, really enjoyed the Johnsson/Del Rossario fight

Thats fine, i would have accepted hes a very unorthodox striker that relies too much on his explosiveness and power, but to say he is lucky just is doing him a great discredit.

He is actually quite technical, but not in the standard boxing technique.
He uses "casting punches" in order to get closer and grapple, and he also has amazing head movement and defence. It's also the reason why he has broken his hands like 5 times, do to this method of punching.
I'll admit he does like the power right hand though
Check out this vid on casting punches to see what I mean:

Ah cool, didn't know there was a name for his style. I tend to think rather traditionally for striking after I broke my hand !

Only just noticed this by chance, for those with sky and have not seen any WEC before like me, Extreme Sports (419) are showing past WEC events every night at 11pm, different ones too! Not just the same 2 strikeforce events from 4 years ago they used to show every night.

Fedor Plans To 'Fight More,' Says Retirement Declaration Was Rushed

Woo hoo, I hope he drops to 205 please please drop to 205.
Fedor would be like, wtf, i have to sit in a sauna and lose weight? What is this **** 
I hope he gets to fight Werdum again, they said there was a possibility he would face the loser of Reem/Werdum so that would be a great opportunity for him to avenge his loss.
A move to 205 would be nice, but it would fuel the fire about Fedor ducking top competition once again, as strikeforces LHW is no where near as strong as the HW's. I guess he could fight Hendo, that would be cool, pride legend on pride legend.

I don't think Werdum would beat him in a rematch.
I totally agree, i think Fedor would take it quite comfortably.
It was a silly mistake against Werdum, against bigfoot I just think he was 1. Too big 2. Fedor didn't give his ground enough respect.
Yeah, it still amazes me how the just threw the first triangle attempt off like it was nothing but then got caught in one just a few seconds later.
I dont think Fedor came in fully prepared for silva, he looked a little gassed even towards the end of the first, let alone having to grapple with somebody with that much skill and weight advantage.

I don't think he looked right from the start, he was definitely a little more podgy than he normally is.
There could have been an injury or he may not have taken the fight as serious as he should have, but Fedor isn't the sort of fighter that would air this as an excuse to why he lost.

Never noticed this thread on here! Anyway would appreciate you guys checking out my UFC Trailers and subscribing to my channel. Not been going long but here are mine for the next few events (excuse the Shogun v Evans one, was made before Jones v Bader).

Yeah he didnt look even healthy his face looked a bit red and scuffed as he came in... didnt look good at all.
But he still lost, but thats how any fight goes it will be lovely too see him fight overeem or wedum again.... and if he looses those 2 I think then he should throw in the white towel himself.

They have MMA on tonight as well I believe, re-run of a previous Bamma event?

i dunno why people are slating fedor and saying he looked sluggish and slow etc etc.
i thought he looked great, moving well on his feet. Bigfoot beat him and was the better fighter on the night, time to move on and see what happens next.
im still excited by the rest of the tourney but it is a shame we wont see the fedor .vs ubereem superfight unless something shady happens and fedor is put back in as a alternate.
