And that's the sad part, these are the kind of people Fedor has surrounded himself with. And it gets more pathetic. After Vladimir Voronov (Fedor's trainer) claimed that Fedor lost because he was hypnotized, Fedor's striking coach Alexander Michkov stated that:
1. Fedor had absolutely NO game plan going into the Silva fight. They figured they would just wing it and adjust accordingly.
2. Overeem and Antonio Silva are doping.
3. Overeem is "gormandized with steroids". Whatever that means.
Now, the interesting part is #2, specifically regarding Antonio Silva and why Michkov believe's he's doping. According to him, it's because Silva weighed in at 264 lbs and come fight night he was over 280 lbs. And Michkov says he's never heard of anyone being able to gain 20 lbs overnight like that. So that MUST mean Silva's doping since it's impossible to gain that much weight in such a short amount time.
Just think about that for a second, let it sink in. This guy is involved in MMA and he's never heard of
weight cutting!? He has no concept of a standard in North American MMA i.e. the place where Fedor is fighting now!?
Michkov's head would probably explode with confusion if someone told him about Anthony Johnson and how he weighs-in at 170 lbs and come fight night 24 hours later he's over 200 lbs.
Bunch of Fubars, seriously.
