If Fedor was to carry on his success, what would most say if he eventually and succesfully defeated these fighters. 2009 Nov B. Rogers Strikeforce Dec J. Barnett 2010 Mar F. Werdum Strikeforce July A. Overreem Strikeforce Oct R. Couture UFC 2011 Feb B. Lesnar UFC
I thought it was made clear that we are all lucky we didn't need to see Fedor vs Couture, it would've been a mismatch. The hype and build up would be huge but the fight would be far from competitive, much like GSP/Penn II.
Couture is not & never has been IMO a serious threat to Fedor, I was never that excited at the prospect of this fight, I see Randy as having close to 0 chance. With or without those other names, Fedor is the best MMA fighter ever, of course those names would put him even further out of reach if thats possible. :good
Lesnar is a solid win for anyone, your only as good as your recent performances & Lesnar is on a roll.
That's because Fedor really doesn't care what anyone thinks about his legacy or how he chooses to run his career. It's part of the reason why he's so dominant - nobody can put any pressure on him other than himself, and his confidence limits what pressure there is to be found.
When it comes to grappling I think Fedor is one of those rare breeds who combines the ability of a small guy yet the force of a big guy. Fedor can literally outdo the good small guys like Lindland but storm the big guys with good strength and power. The small guys pose a risk to Fedor but I think Fedors grappling is as good as the best of em, no matter what weight. He just always finds the answer to the fight.
He really does, what I'm saying is, in an octagon for a 5 rounds fight, Fedor would be pretty frustrated for at least first 3 rounds if he doesn't get rocket before hand. I REALLY don't like A.Silva at this point and can't wait to see him lose. I think his cockiness is unwarranted at this point. Fedor would have much more trouble keeping up with A.Silva stand up in the beginning, and I think he'd have a hard time taking him down. A.Silva would fight like Machida and could eventually tap Fedor with one of his precise-as-**** punches on the chin and it could go downhill from there. Someone like Lesnar Fedor would handle via Zulu/Sylvia without a doubt. He'll rock Lesnar because he's about 10x faster standing up and it's over from there. Fedor's only problems EVER were against fast guys ie Arlovski and even Lindland almost won via cut from the get go. The guys who's stand up is even a fraction slower than Fedor's have ALL been run through by him. I think this one this is clear from Fedor's career.
