Fedor Emelianenko VS Chael Sonnen Bellator Heavyweight Grand Prix Championship Prediction

Spot on video. Fedor showed aspects of his game that he hasn't shown in a while despite the desperado all guns blazing method of attack. Fedor is a terrible matchup for Sonnen. He'll win that fight without much trouble but will want to fight with a game plan if he's to win the final.

 

Sonnen is not strong enough to keep Fedor down. Not to mention, Fedor has a ton of submissions from his back even though he kind of abandoned his well-rounded game in favor of being a head-hunter. Sonnen will be disintegrated on the feet if he wants to trade.

Fedor stops him in the 1st.

 

The main issues with this current version of Fedor is his chin and lack of ring IQ. Sonnen doesn't have the ability to exploit these weaknesses and gets blitzed early.

 

Sonnen isn't a heavyweight. I'd rather see Crocop v Fedor rematch. Mitrionne probably wins the tourney.

 

Fedora to old

 

Fedor is as old as the fossils in Death Valley, but I think he's got enough to beat Sonnen. Sonnen doesn't really have the brick-smashing power the big HW's have in the standup, and on the ground he's giving up a lot of weight. I'll take Fedor. That said, Fedor needs to get himself into shape.

 

Hard to see Sonnen having the tools to beat Fedor the flop............. Henderson who was smaller had power

 

Henderson had crazy man power. There's a guy that when they say "he hits like a heavyweight" it may even be true.

 

Sonnen is annoying imo Fedor better win impressively. Past his best or not losing to undersized wrestler with no Special attribute will not look good

 

I think Cro Cop bodies Fedor this time around, Mirko has more left in him I feel.

 

Anyone know Fedor's training partners? @4:30

Hopefully Fedor could pull off one or two last great victories before finally calling it quits.

 

I give him a 70-80% chance at beating Sonnen and then make him a live dog against whoever wins Mitrione/Bader. So yeah it's possible.

 

Looks like he's training in The Netherlands again from the look of things.
