Werdum himself called Fedor the best fighter in the world after the match. Lesnar has what - Five fights on his professional MMA record? And didn't he lose to Mir by submission -- pretty much what happened to Fedor? Then look at Fedor. The guy went TEN YEARS being undefeated. This was his first real loss. Put it in perspective. I find it funny that a guy like LEsnar supposedly is considered one of the best MMA fighters and somehow a guy like Fedor is "fake".
And BTW, Werdum wasn't technically cut from the UFC. The story I heard was that after losing one match Dana approached his management demanding to essentially cut his pay by 50%. Werdum's team refused and essentially left the UFC.
