In a recent interview with fightersonlymagazine. Fedor was asked what his weaknesses are. Some have speculated that he lacks decent cardio or it’s his stand-up. He doesn’t deny he has weaknesses in his game, but rather say’s he has them and constantly working on them. He also mentions that Crocop and chuck lidell focused too much on their strengths instead of working on their weaknesses.

Q: What are your weaknesses?

Fedor: I do not talk about my weaknesses, I work on them.

Q: What about your strengths? Your key strengths?

Fedor: I try to improve in all directions, training in all aspects. As far as key strengths… I’ll give you an example: Mirko Cro Cop. He was destroying everybody with his left foot. He hit with it in a way that people were being knocked out. When he started putting everything on that key strength, he lost.

I believe that a fighter has his favorite techniques, but he cannot focus on just that, instead he should always go forward. So that he can always be unpredictable during the fight. There are fighters that try to focus on their striking technique. There are fighters that try to do anything possible to get the fight to the ground – they all lack well roundedness; they all miss some part of the game.

Chuck Liddell, the ex-LHW champion of the UFC used to always focus more on his striking technique. He also wrestled of course, but always tried to stay away from the ground because he could lose. Randy Couture – lacks submissions and doesn’t have the best striking technique.

In his last statement about Randy Couture, what I think he was trying to say is that Randy Couture has been working on those weaknesses and has improved his striking.
