    You must have missed alot of the thread, obviously barnett and lesnar are the top two fights but a fight with silva is laughable

    I just want to see Fedor fight.. albeit all mismatches.

    One thing is clear, Fedor better not lose.

    This is one of the few cases in sport where a legacy can be wiped out completely with 1 loss.

    All because M1 who?? wanted to co-promote.

    Signing Fedor and M-1 Global seems to be a deathwish for these orgs.

    This is very sad news, I always kept high hopes that Fedor would fight in the UFC, a Fedor-Lesnar fight is the fight I want to see the most, as usual, the fans lose out :-(

    Barnett ****ed it all up and a fight with Silva is not laughable at all.

    Silva is top 3 P4P and the best striker in the sport.

    He brings a lot of things to the fight that Fedor has never faced before.

    Fedor himself said that he'd rather fight the biggers guy's and has problems with the smaller and faster guy's.

    A Fedor vs Silva fight is VERY interesting.

    You're also focusing too much on weight when in fact Silva is taller than Fedor and probabaly has a bigger reach too.

    Nobody wants to see silva was fedor unless anderson does somethin major above 185, also in terms of striking i would say a few of fedors opponents have striking close to silva and fedor dealt with that well enough.
    Also a barnett vs fedor fight is quite likely nye japan.

    Diaz would probably do better than some of these shitty heavies. :lol:

    I suppose I would'nt mind seeing Fedor fight Roger's, and Overeem has had some intersting fight's since he's put some weight on. He looked like he had the beating of Cro Cop and detroyed Badr Hari in K-1. He looks liek a different fighter. I've no idea how he ever made 205.

    I still want to see him fight Barnett too of course.

    As for the likes of Monson and Werdum. :lol: Nah, I could'nt give a feck about Fedor fighting them.

    If I could pick Fedor's next 5 fight's they would be Barnett, Lesnar, Machida, Silva and Rampage.

    Anderson will do something above 185. ;)

    I would evenb go with Anderson against Machida.

    Machida is the only guy at 205 who could beat him.

    And no, not even Cro Cop has MMA based striking as good as Silva IMO.

    I dont know the other's guys you are talking about.

    Anderson is the best striker in MMA history. :good

    He is well of fighting fedor yet lets be realistic on that, silva also wants to fight roy jones so a fedor fight would probably never come anyway.
    Cro cop is also a heavyweight and has alot more power than silva so that counter acts the slight edge in skill imo, also although AA doesn't have a good chin his hands are one of the best by mma standards.

    Well, I may aswell STFU because I'm not going to get any of the fight's I want to see anyway by the looks of thing's.

    I'm calling for all these match ups with Fedor fighting in the UFC and even fighting 205lbers but they will never happen. :|

    That would fulfill his contract right there I believe.

    The big question is what will the UFC do in response to this?

    Nick Diaz... Jake Shields... Brett Rogers... when they're contracts are done, will the UFC take away the fighters that Strikeforce has worked to build up?

    Im not upset about this quite honestly. I know everyone wanted Fedor in the UFC but obviously he isnt going so lets accept what we have here right now. Alistair Overeem is a damn good opponet hes top 10 in the world, well rounded and happens to be the Strikeforce Champion. Then you got Brett Rodgers whos ranked like 7th and is undefeated coming off a great win over Arlovski and theres Werdum whos beat down Gonzaga twice,Vera,he beat Overeem and even choked out Fedors brother. Werdum is fighting Mike Kyle next as long as he can get it to the ground he will grapple**** Kyle pretty quickly. I guess Fedor will fight Overeem in the fall not sure what Rodgers does in the meantime.
