It is difficult because he doesn't fight the guys, right? The last real fighter that he fought was Matt Lindlind and he was like 30 pounds lighter. Matt did a really good against him but Fedor held onto the ropes and Matt couldn't take him down. Matt is a little devil and cut him with the first punch he threw. In order for Fedor to stay at the top he is going to have to start fighting the top competition.

Bas On Fedor Fighting Hong Man Choi:

[Laughs] Yes what was that? He tried to take him down and the guy just fell on his chest. Then as soon as the fight was on the ground you could quit watching because it was only going to be a matter of seconds before the fight was over. Tall guys like that are easier to submit because long limbs are easier to catch for submissions. Tall fighters also leave a lot of space around their bodies which makes it easier for their opponent to escape. You could have knee barred that guy on his arm.

Bas On Chris Horodecki Suffering his first loss:

I am not sure when his next fight is but he has some work to do. Up till now his success was based on technique and in that fight he was overpowered. He needs to get stronger so I'm pretty sure he is going to be hitting the weights. He may only be 20 years old but his mindset going into his fights is amazing so I don't expect him to be punch-shy when he steps into the ring again. He is still very early in his career and I expect him to make a very strong comeback.
