    Kharitonov already iced Nelson and Bader schooled and beat up Mitrione so you're 0-2 lol.

    Don't be so c0cky my friend. Well see about that.

    To the other guy.
    The last two fights I watched was Till vs Woodley and Mcgregor vs Khabib and those did not go too good.

    What’s the point of this “past prime” fights?

    Old fighters collecting some cash, but these fights doesn’t mean a lot.

    Prime Fedor wiped out Kharitonov, shows how shot he is now.

    Bader is still seen as prime and a top 5 heavyweight/lightheavyweight

    Beating him in the final is a huge resume booster.

    I doubt it. If Fedor catches Chael with anything like Wandy did, it's all over.

    I'm more afraid of Chael snatching something sneaky and quick. Like maybe the guillotine he caught Shogun with, or whatever he claims he caught Tito in. Maybe stunning Fedor with a punch and slapping it on. Fedor giving up his back to get back to his feet, and getting choked from behind. Even the choke Hughes caught Ricardo Almeida with.

    Aside from that, I think Fedor is too strong for Chael. Look for the Last Emperor to win by early finish.

    Watching Fedor and Sonnen at the weigh in face off was interesting. Sonnen a natural MW was clearly the structurally bigger man. Really puts into perspective how great Fedor was being able to dominate the HW class for so many years with such a small frame.

    Yea, funny thing to me was when I saw how Chael has bigger hands, wrists and forearms than Fedor, but Fedor has good power in his hands while Chael can't crack an egg with his mitts and thick forearms :D
