Who should The Last Emperor face next?

Lucky punch...nice one

 

Wasn't nothing lucky about it. Show some respect to Dan Henderson. Deal with it.

 

Im laughing at you fella, as SnG said, show Dan some respect

 

Bobby Lashley was the last opponent I heard rumoured. They were certainly in talks.

Who should he fight? Sergei Kharitonov is the only fighter outside of Zuffa that springs to mind.

 

anderson silva

 

The winner of Sapp Vs Thompson :think

Lynchburg

 

Bobby Lashley and Sergei Kharitonov are good matchups. Sergei especially. Seems like that would be a natural headliner for a card in Russia.

 

Ken Shamrock, another former champ that Fedor could have under his belt.

 

If he's just going to go on a retirement tour I'd say he should fight Shamrock because I'd watch it. But if Fedor is going to try to ever get back into contention he needs a tough opponent like Kharitonov or Lashley. If he's just going to do a retirement tour then he should just go for whatever name recognition he can find outside of the UFC.

I believe the Strikeforce plan involves bringing Fedor back to face the winner of the Heavyweight Grand Prix. So Fedor's next fight could very well be against the Cormier/Barnett winner.

 

:huh
I thought all the SF HW were going to the UFC at the end of the tournament ?

 

The winner of the tournament will have one more fight in Strikeforce. You should check out the conference call between Dana White and Scott Coker from a couple months ago. They explained it all. There was no talk of Fedor - but that is my prediction. They will bring Fedor back for that last fight with the tournament winner.

 

Hmmm . . . How about rematch with Crocop

 

I would love to see him against Velasquez. Past his prime, or not, Fedor's hand speed makes this fight interesting.

Kharitonov is also an interesting match-up.

I'd like to see him against the Barnett/Cormier loser. I wouldn't mind seeing him face the winner either.

Fedor and Carwin also comes to mind.
