He already is the GOAT. The more he does, and he'll likely fight for a few more years against some good opponents, maybe even longer depending on what he wants to do, it just further puts his hold on it. Fedor is unbelievable. Have to laugh at all of the negative press he got for taking some easy fights and how some believed that Couture and the lot could actually defeat him.:yep
I agree. Fedor is so far ahead of the next best that it is quite amazing. I expect him to be the GOAT in 200 years. Really, Fedor is just - amazing. Amazing even seems like a weak adjective when trying to describe Fedor. He is the Ali of mma. I think gsp, randy, silva are good, but fedor is on a completely different level. I wonder what goes on in his head. Imo. he greatest force is his speed of thinking. He moves so smooth from one idea to the next. For instance he got the rear choke on Tim before Tim had an idea he wanted to do it. Fedor runs through the possibilities in each situation like a time-limit chess champion. Amazing... in lack of a better word.
Fedor probablly beats all in the 1st round but damn it needs to happen. Tim was a good opponet but Randy,Barnett and Arlovski are the real deal and pose style threats for Fedor.
Andre looked phenomenal last night. take some GnP punishment, but dished out a healthy (unhealthy for Ben) array of striking. beautiful flying knee in the clinch and the straight right/right hook combo to finish was sweet. With that said Fedor I believe would still beat him, but honestly he has the best chance of the three. Then I'd say Barnett then Randy.
