    Id actually like to see Wlad in there with someone his size (or maybe a tad bigger even) so this fight is actually somewhat interesting.

    Lets be real, its not like people are lining up for a chance to challenge him..... if nobody else wants the fight, and hes going to fight in Dec, i wouldnt mind seeing this one i suppose.

    After reading everyones comments, there are plenty of reasons for this fight not to happen- but the size factor could really legitimize it in my eyes. How often does Wlad get criticised for beating smaller guys? This is a chance to beat someone taller and heavier than himself. Could be a good legacy fight in that respect

    I agree about the lack of appeal, but in the world of appalling opponents that Wlad is considering Dimitrenko may be the one-eyed among the blind for Wlad to chose from.

    Well remember Austin, he was Wlad's size and I think a little heavier even. And some people were saying-"finally Wlad will not have size advantage, lets see how he does now". After the fight they said Austin was a bum "fair enough!". So people want to see Wlad fight somebody his size, but with skill, power and movement...I can't really name one fighter beside himself and Vitaliy that would fit this description.

    Yep, Wlad has fought plenty of fighters that are roughly equal/close to his size...Austin, McCline, Jefferson, Thompson, etc...
