I transcribed MMA matches for Affliction Entertainment way back when, and that's when I first encountered Fedor. He looked like such a Pillsbury Dough Boy when he entered the arena, almost chubby-looking.

I had to learn all the jargon, e.g., guillotine choke, omoplata, armbar, et cetera. The one that always made me chuckle was "rear mount."

Fedor is considered one of the greatest MMA fighters of all time. For a period during the PRIDE (Japan) era, he was an absolute monster. He was a little doughy, but feeling good and full of energy. Not all rough looking and depleted trying to make weight. He was/is(for his age) dangerous.
