Around SBN: Nevin Shapiro Vows To Bring Down Miami

Fedor Emelianenko reportedly set to meet Dana White in June to discuss superfight with UFC champ Brock Lesnar

Props: DreamFighters.com

Quoteworthy:

Yes, I will fight again on the next Affliction card. Besides this, me and my management hope to get a chance to talk to Dana White in person in June to discuss a possible fight between me and Brock (Lesnar).

The last man to hold the Pride FC heavyweight title and current WAMMA heavyweight champion Fedor Emelianenko (29-1) apparently reveals that aside from competing in a third Affliction event (should one come to fruition) he plans to meet with UFC President Dana White sometime in June to discuss a possible superfight with current UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar (3-1). A lot would have to go right for this potential bout to happen. Lesnar is scheduled to rematch Frank Mir at UFC 98 on May 23 while "The Last Emperor" still has the same UFC-unfriendly hang-ups due to the remaining fight on his Affliction contract -- along with being property of M-1 Global. Still, the mere possibility of them getting down inside the Octagon is enough to keep any fan optimistic.

what if mir beats brock before then?

by sac165 on Feb 16, 2009 8:11 PM EST up reply actions  

Very good point- then i guess he’ll be fighting Mir, but then all that huge drawing power goes by like 50 % cuz mir doesn’t have the same star power as lesnar….. still it would be a good fight i pick fedor by any means necessary.

by ricky on Feb 16, 2009 9:19 PM EST up reply actions  

I think regardless if Mir beats Lesnar, the UFC will still try to sign Fedor to fight in the UFC. If you think about it, Fedor is the only reason why Affliction is still in operations(Arlovski maybe as well). Lesnar and Mir are the only semi threats to Fedor if he signs. The real fights I would like to see are against the up and comers of the UFC HW division. Carwin or Velasquez. Hell even Kongo and Gonzaga would be interesting match-ups against Fedor. I’m not sure if I want to see Randy fight him, he is getting old and the image I have of Randy would be tarnished in seconds. I think Randy has to prove his age still isnt a factor against Nogeira or another top Heavy before I want to see it.

why does fedor want to hook up a fight between him and brock-ness??

we all know that frank mir will defeat the brock-ness monster!!

maybe fedor will want to fight mir instead??

also/..

john~ i just got through reading the willy-g thread..

u mention in a reply that i imitated your name??

Shane was the Mof’in Man during the world series! Fedor is the god of mma!

Ok, Ok, you win VM! Not my best JOke!

About every 6 months we all start having the mma fighter nickname’s. Here is some of the new nicknames that the maniacs have created in the past few months:

Guida = Huggie Bear (VM)
Brock = The Brock-ness Monster! (Me)
Wilson Gouveai = “Willy G” (Stinky)

what other recent nicknames that we have come up with am I missing?

I guess its a philly thing! Whenever an athlete comes up big in the Clutch, we say that he has the biggest Dick ever! Kind of like saying “that guy has balls”…. Its also like Calling someone “King Dick” (alpha male)…used for clutch and ballsy performances!

Most people thought Mir was lucky to win the first match, they do not expect him to win the second one. And I really do not think that there are a whole lot of peeple that are that concerned about watching Mir against Fedor, not everybody is fooled into thinking that winning matches because of bad performances by his opponents, now makes him a top 5 fighter. Maybe his new fans do.

Fedor would smash him. Brock won’t be able to stand with him/do GNP on him. Hell, Brock wont be able to Huggie-Bear him either!

Fedor by Ko/Submission in the 1st.

Is there really any competitive match for Fedor? I think AA was the last. DONT even begin to say Barnett. He will do nothing but turtle up for 25 minutes or develop an injury and quit.

Respectfully, I think you’re wrong synyester! You and I usually agree on a lot. I think by the time this fight happens Brock will gain enough knowledge to use along with his natural abilities, to control the fight, and pull the win out of his ass. He’s gonna hurt fedor with his shots.

by allamerican on Feb 16, 2009 8:29 PM EST up reply actions  

I didn’t really take into account WHEN the fight would take place. I was basing it relatively soon. If we’re talking 1.5 to 2 years down the road, then Brock’s chances will grow. But either way, Fedor will still win. I’m not known as an ultimate Fedor fan, because I wasn’t into MMA during his Pride glory days, but even after seeing them, I root agaisnt him because I just want someone to beat him (kinda like Anderson Silva). I last thought AA to KO him, and that didn’t work, so I just don’t think there is any HW right now that can hold a stick to him.

Brock won’t be able to stay composed when hes in the cage against Fedor, even when he does have 4 more fights (putting him at 7-1) and if he wins alla those. I don’t see Fedor armbaring or submitting him though. Tim Sylvia like punches and GNP.

by Synyster [[2009 Year of Gegard Mousasi]] on Feb 16, 2009 9:49 PM EST up reply actions  

I agree with you there. If Fedor wins it’ll be similar to the way he beat Sylvia. A flurry of haymakers! But I know Brock could potentially have the same type of ko power! Either way it goes, I just wanna see it!

by allamerican on Feb 16, 2009 10:09 PM EST up reply actions  

Call me crazy, but I think Fedor can use his hips to counter a brockness MOnster’s takedown, and put Brock on his back! Fedor can do whatever he wants!

by john on Feb 17, 2009 11:44 AM EST up reply actions  

i do respect fedor, but one has to give brock some chance, considering brock has the reach, and the better wrestling! alot of people here will talk submissions, the majority of which are armbars by which fedor has one, could he pull one off against brock, even mir has stated it would be foolish to for one one of brocks arms! he has some kimura’s and as for the rear naked chokes he has one by, could he get brocks back??? i am not a fedor basher, i also actually consider him number 1 in p4p, but to say brock would get smashed is just ignorance!

by Jared on Feb 16, 2009 10:32 PM EST up reply actions  

I hate to say it but Brock needs more time to improve his game.Yes it would be a good fight but it would be an even better fight if Brock had more experience.Fedor has fought way bigger guy and won, so I’d like to see Brock get more skills before Fedor distroys him. Last time they sat down with Dana Fedor and his people were totaly discuraged because of Danas strong arm tactics. Let the brothers negotiate this one to bring Fedor to the UFC.

by cujo on Feb 17, 2009 1:30 AM EST up reply actions  

Brocks fight against Mir will give an insight to whether he has improved any in his sub-defense if it goes that way. Fedor is very explosive and fast and his movement is like no other at HW considering his size and power and is very slippery to handle.

It would be interesting if Brock shows significant improvement but so far other than his size I just dont get much from him. Fedor has beaten much bigger opponents so Brocks size will not be much of a factor if it does go down.

The biggest problem is getting Dana to make it happen. If he wants the best HW in the world on his roster then he needs to act like it as Fedor will just carry on fighting more skilled opponents outside of the UFC and by the look of it get paid a lot more doing so.

WAR FEDOR!!

ive never been a fedor fan, but this is one fight where im on his side

by connor on Feb 17, 2009 1:09 PM EST up reply actions  

I honestly think that Fedor and Couture will square off first. There was tons of hype around it and although Couture lost his last fight, you can’t count out the natural. Also, most people would predict a victory for Fedor. If he were to win, then his next fight could easily be Lesnar. Bringing Fedor into the UFC would probably bring in Arlovski and Barnett as well. Monson and Overeem are rumored to be signing back with the UFC again. Monson might have a little bit of trouble considering he has had the legal trouble. He was supposedly going to fight Kongo. Now rumors are going around that Kongo will face Antoni Hardonk. That would be a SICK stand up fight.

by RyanHobbs on Feb 16, 2009 9:06 PM EST up reply actions  

Ryan that may be true. Dana is all about the money, and I think everyone in the MMA world would still pay to see that one.

It was kind of like Wandi vs Chuck. Their last few fights had kind of taken the luster from the fight, but he still made it happen and it was exciting to see.

by TheEder on Feb 17, 2009 11:42 AM EST up reply actions  

Simply put the time for Fedor-Couture needs to be immediately because of Couture’s age. Unfortuantely after Randy’s loss to Brock that fight has lost some luster. And I think Brock is nowhere near his potential making it possibly premature for him to face Fedor at this point? Not to say he would be embarassed but I think as he becomes more well rounded he offers more of a threat to Fedor.

This would be such an amazing burn on Couture. Fedor comes to UFC and a guy with 4 fights gets a shot at him while he is stuck fighting someone he has “declined” many times.

WHAT?! I am drooling at the thought of this fight already.

Having this fight will finally bring all of the Brock nutthuggers abruptly back down to Earth – the sight of their fave fighter landing face first on the mat, ala AA, or being submitted in the first will be too much for them to bear. Also, it will establish who the best P4P and best HW in the world truly is – Fedor.

I wish Brock would fight at in the UFC. Affliction has no one left for him to beat. Brock would have no chance against Fedor but who does?

by hatteras on Feb 16, 2009 8:05 PM EST reply actions  

I think Randy Couture does. I know that he just lost to Brock but I don’t use MMA math and I think that Randy has enough experience to avoid submissions and the wrestling to keep Fedor on his back while working some GnP. Plus, that would be Fedors first fight in the cage. Randy is brutal in the clinch. Just a thought but I say that Randy could take it and if Fedor signs with the UFC, Randy should get the first crack at him.

I’d also like to note that Fedor has been getting a lot of attention from the US media as of lately due to Affliction. As a result, he wasn’t able to train well for the Arlovski fight and didn’t look as good up until the knockout. Signing with the UFC could effect Fedors training due to the popularity in America. Just a thought.

by RyanHobbs on Feb 16, 2009 9:10 PM EST up reply actions  

What happens if the fight happens and Brock knocks him out? I bet everyone on this site would call it a lucky punch or something. I think Fedor is a great fighter but he is only fighting B level fighters… I mean Arlovski got beat by Silvia a couple of times and Silvia is a big turd that once you get past his long azz legs after you knock him down you’re golden. Hell Monson gave Silvia a hard time, come on now. Oh yeah and he did fight that caveman looking asian guy, that guy was good…..

by The Beast on Feb 16, 2009 8:10 PM EST reply actions  

thats what im saying i can see lesnar winning but everyone makes it seem like hes unstopable, he has been unstoppable and he is right now the p4p best but lesnar is just so big and strong, and theres also new waves of hw that could take out the barnetts, arlovskis and sylvias. i think he has a way better chance then people give him

You can’t call Brock’s punches lucky, because he has dropped everyone he’s fought with one punch.

Nah, AA is legit, he has looked good lately and he looked great for the first 3 minutes against Fedor. It was almost to easy for him and he got stupid and tried fancy shit. AA is right up there at the top of the HW division. You can’t knock Fedor for that win, he was the smarter fighter. By the looks of things, Fedor is done with the circus freaks. Timmy, AA, Barnett and looking like Brock, Mir or Randy. I don’t think anyone can complain about that list of opponents.

by gaara on Feb 16, 2009 8:36 PM EST up reply actions  

I think Fedor would dominate Brock in the stand up personally. Just too fast. You saw what he did to Tim. Tim was heavy handed and had a huge reach so he was able to beat other fighters and was considered to be a pretty good striker because of that. Kind of like Brock. It looks a little sloppy but the power and reach makes it devastating. Then again, Brock knocked out Couture in the stand up and Couture dominated Tim and even outstruck Chuck before.

by RyanHobbs on Feb 16, 2009 9:20 PM EST up reply actions

yeah his neck is wider then fedors legs are long i dont think you realise how big that neck is, and brock compared to tim sylvia is about 100x the athletic ability and speed if anyone fedor has fought could be compared to brock it might be mark coleman but brocks faster and bigger then him as well

by The Beast on Feb 17, 2009 12:45 PM EST up reply actions  

Dana was just on Bubba the love Sponge, and the issue came up. He said if it ever happened he would put Fedor against whoever was the top guy. So it wouldn’t be a slap in the face to Randy, since he lost to Brock. I don’t see Mir or Brock beating Fedor, but that is why they have the fights, to actually see who wins.

I don’t think it would happen though, the UFC is not going to give up any rights with production or branding, and since Fedor is controlled by the guys at Affliction, you know Affliction will want to co-produce the show. If Dana wouldn’t give up production to HBO or CBS, there is now way he will make that deal with an organization trying to get a foothold in MMA. Too bad, we all want to see Fedor fight the best, and Fedor is quickly going through the few guys in Affliction who are actually considered top opponents. He only has 2-3 more good fights left with solid opponents.

This fight IS going to happen eventually. And when the time comes, I’ll be picking Brock. That’s right, I said it and I’m not proud because I can’t stand him.

Albino gorilla!!! that’s funny. I guess I’m a Lesnar fan mostly because no one else is, or hardly anyone else… I think he can be great in a year or two and his shear size and speed alone can get him through until he gets better at the bjj and more crisp in the stand up. But over all I think he is a good fighter. I also like Fedor I just get tired of all the greatest ever, unstoppable, almost God like following he has. You would think his name was Barak Obama or something, with that kind of hype, except Fedor has earned most of his….

Mir will get destroyed the second time around. Brock is a beast and was all over Mir until he gave up his leg. Some of you don’t understand how strong Brock is as well as fast. Yes he might lose to Fedor by making a mistake against someone as experienced as Fedor, but if he doesn’t make a big mistake he will eat Fedor up. He’s a freak Bigger faster and stronger than Fedor. Fedor will not be able to stand and throw with the 285 pound Brock, he will not be able to out wrestle the beast. He will have to be patient while he’s geating beat on and hope Brock gives him a leg are arm to get ahold of much like Mir will. I hope this fight happens and I can post I told you so. Here’s prediction before the Couture fight as well a prediction if Fedor got to fight Brock that I agree with. Sorry Fedorbaters if this fight happens you will all crying the blues LOL.

As has previously been mentioned in other threads Fedor has been outwrestled before. Good thing this isn’t the WWE and Fedor can submit Brock. And you’re giving Brock WAY too much credit in the standup. Brocks standup is NOT better than Fedors. Oh cool, you found someone on youtube that agrees with your opinion what a compelling argument. If you want to go that route I’ll take a poll and see who’s the people’s favorite.

NO doubt Diceman. If this fool thinks Brock is faster than Fedor he is an idiot! Fedor has the speed of a middleweight, who hits harder than Brock.

Also, Fedor’s sambo will really neutralize Brocks wrestling. in the clinch Fedor can use his hips to put brock on his back!
If Brock chooses to stand with Fedor then Brock gets killed.

If Brock wants to take the fight to the ground, he may end up on his back with Fedor G n P’ing away!

If Brock ends up on top, he will easily get arm bared!

Brock cant win this fight! Sorry!

I think it is still wayy to early to give brock to fedor but in say 2 years at the rate !rock is growing
It would be better for everyone. Brock would have an increased chance at winning and fedor could beat
A more experienced brock.

I dont see fedor armbarring or ground and pounding brock but he could take it ala tim sylviam

Brocks best chance is NOT to keep it on his feet but smother and lay n pray his way to victory
(Realistic)

Either way it would be a MEGA FIGHT and there are a lot of interesting match ups for fedorm.

IF FEDOR REALLY WANTS TO GO DOWN AS THE UNDISPUTED BEST HE NEEDS TO CLEAN OUT THE UFC.

Also even if 6edor were to lose once (if in the ufc) he would probably still go down as the greatest
He just needs to cement it in the UFC.

FEDOR vs brock, carwin, randy, velasquez (later on), mir, are all interesting fights.

I think brock has a real chance if this fight gets put together. Looks at brocks strengths he is huge, athletic, a great wrestler, great reach and i think the most undervalued attribute is he is really fast for a heavy weight. Only 2 people have knocked out Randy the iceman and brock that is pretty good company. Now i am not saying brock kills him but i think he has a real shot. His reach will help him standing up his wrestling helps him control position and the lunch boxes he swings give him knockout power. As long has he learns what to do off his back and how to avoid submissions he has a real shot

Why is it that I’m having this sense of de-ja-vu? I think I heard this before:

“This guy is the one to beat Fedor”,
“It will take this good wrestler to beat Fedor”,
“It will this fast heavyweight to beat Fedor”,

And yet, all these stories always end up the same way. I’m not saying Fedor will keep on winning forever, but until he loses, I’ll always be betting on him.

Fedor has forgotten more about MMA than Lesnar will ever know. I think a lucky punch from one of his frying-pan sized fists is his only shot.

by Big_B on Feb 16, 2009 11:36 PM EST reply actions  

And yes, let’s not forget that while size matters, what really matters more is conditioning, technique and experience. There is just no way Lesnar can match Fedor on that.

And do I think Fedor can armbar Lesnar, hell yeah…Let’s get back to earth, Fedor has armbarred guys like Choi (big) and Ogawa (judo silver medalist).

by aman on Feb 16, 2009 11:43 PM EST reply actions  

aman Brocks conditioning is excellent, the other two your correct except wrestling technique I give to Brock. Brock is one of if not the hardest workers in the gym. Add his size strength and speed = Freak!! He is one of a kind beast. If Fedor can beat him I will even say Fedor is the best HW and PforP fighter in the world. If this fight does happen it won’t be until next year most likely, and every fight that Brock has tell then will increase his chances even more. I hope they can make this fight happen and Brock get the respect he deserve’s!

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves maniacs. Brock poses some interesting problems for Fedor, but Brock still has a LOOOOOONG way to go.

I’m a big Brock fan. I think he’s very gifted and brings excitement to the HW division…but I’m also realistic. Fedor has 30 MMA fights. Brock has 4. Clearly, Brock needs some more experience before he even thinks about stepping into the cage with Fedor.

I think he will easily get by Mir in May based on what we saw in their previous fight (minus the rookie mistake), and he can also move past many other top contenders in the UFC. But until he does so (and I think he will) lets save the Fedor/Lesnar talk for the future.

And besides, we all know that Fedor DOES NOT call the shots. His crazy management does – hence, why he’s still not in the UFC.

by MMA Fanatic on Feb 16, 2009 11:48 PM EST reply actions  

He needs more experience before getting into the cage with Herring and Randy also. Oh wait a minute, he already beat them and he is improving at a fast rate. The fact that Brock has only 4 fights and he jumped right into the deep end from the start, says a lot about how much of a threat he is to any HW. Name one other guy who has (or could) be champion in their 4th MMA fight. A great wrestler can cause problems for anyone. A HUGE, fast, hard hitting(and he does hit EVERYONE he fights) great wrestler can be a nightmare. With another year or so of training before this fight, I could see Brock with an upset. Mind you if Brock rolls through another top 3 HW in the mean time, maybe not very many will consider it an upset.

What do you guys think about Shane Carwin vs. Brock Lesnar?

They see to be about the same size. At that point, it’ll be about skill level.

I certainly agree with you guys on that Brock is getting better by the day. I’ve always been a Fedor fan and really hope that he understands that and doesn’t get overconfident. I am not sure I like that fact that right after the Arlovski fight Fedor went to continue shooting the movie instead of training. He is going to enter the Sambo tournament with very little training.

Also, the way they are talking about it, I am worried Fedor-Barnett fight might not happen this summer. It would really suck. I’ve been looking forward to that fight. Quite frankly, I don’t care to see Fedor fight Belfort.

by cujo on Feb 17, 2009 1:44 AM EST up reply actions  

If Fedor were to come to the UFC, I’d favour Couture over him and call the fight with Brock pretty much even… I don’t think you can call Fedor the “undisputed” best HW in the world when he has never fought in a cage or the UFC – just look at how many former Pride guys have looked awesome in a ring, but have failed or looked very average in the UFC (Cro-Cop, Big Nog, W.Silva, Shogun, Denis Kang, Sokodjou… and others). There are exceptions – notably Rampage and Henderson – but they did both have cage experience before. Until we see Fedor in the Octagon, we just don’t know how he’d adapt to the cage and overall UFC “experience”…

by SteveHulk on Feb 17, 2009 1:37 AM EST reply actions  

the only way fedor will ever lose will be due to a cut that will stop the fight. He does cut easily and it worries me, remember the linland fight he knew he had to finish that one quickly or it would be stopped due to the cut on fedors eye. Other than that he will not lose.

by darth fedor on Feb 17, 2009 2:00 AM EST reply actions  

Fedor and his management are no dummies. They know there is only one big fight left in Affliction and that is Fedor/Barnett. And there’s a good chance they go under after that. And Dana’s no dummy either. He’s already switching gears with his talk about Fedor. Of course, the UFC wants him desperately.

They will find a mutually agreeable situation. Let Fedor fight his Sambo stuff in Russia, etc. The Lesnar/Fedor will happen. Even if Lesnar loses to Mir (but looks good doing so) it’s still a possibility.

Fedor should sign a 3 fight contract. Beat Mir and Lesnar in any order and then Gonzaga or Couture.

by revjames13 on Feb 17, 2009 2:28 AM EST reply actions  

revjames13, I totally agree with you. I hope this case scenario will play out. I also hope that UFC signs Barnett. That would be so awesome. Then UFC can rightfully claim that they have the best HWs.

by Aman on Feb 17, 2009 3:37 AM EST up reply actions  

The only way it will happen is with a 3 fight contract.
No way will Dana go for a one-off fight and the possibility of Fedor walking away with the belt. It will have to be at least a one year commitment. Fedor has nothing to lose but cash and credibility.

by KS on Feb 17, 2009 8:18 AM EST reply actions  

Fedor doesn’t need the UFC to be considered the best HW, he’s already established that a long time ago. Brock wouldn’t stand a chance against Fedor. Brocks standup and ground game aren’t even close to what Fedor brings. Brock will lose to Mir again and I’m gonna even go to say Mir will win by TKO. In all honestly the only UFC HW that I can see giving Fedor any problems would be Gonzaga and thats until he gasses before rd 2 ends then he would just get destroyed in the 3rd.

by rydinlow on Feb 17, 2009 8:46 AM EST reply actions  

Dude, get real! Fedor had his legs buckled from one punch from AA and has been staggered in a couple other fights by lesser fighters than Leasnar. Yes he hits hard but he’s a very small HW. 6’ 230 flabby pounds. He’s quick, hits hard and has great submissions but Brock definitely has a very good chance to beat Fedor. Just like no one thought he had a chance against Randy I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he gets KO’d by Brock.

by Rich on Feb 17, 2009 3:40 PM EST up reply actions  

He may have established that he is the best HW past to present, but if he doesn’t continue to fight decent competition that won’t be the case in the future.
You can speculate about who brings what into the match-up all day long, but until Fedor brings his azz into the octagon it’s all pretty worthless.
UFC doesn’t need Fedor, Fedor doesn’t need the UFC.
The fans sure would like to see Fedor fight in the octagon.
Both sides would benefit by putting the petty squabbles aside, nut up and make it happen.

by KS on Feb 17, 2009 10:01 AM EST reply actions  

I’d like to see Lesnar fight a few more times before he gets a shot at the Emperor. Lesnar was catapulted to a title shot after beating Heath Herring (Heath Herring, whose biggest win of his career IMO was against Igor Vovchanchyn), his skills and abilities are still largely unknown, he should have, or should fight 3-4 more times before he deserves to fight Fedor (of course, in UFC, PPVs trump earning title shots). Win or lose vs Mir (I think lose maybe, Mir either looked really good in his last fight, or Nogueira was absolutely horrible, or both), I’d like to see Lesnar vs Kongo, Carwin or Gonzaga, I think Carwin would KO Lesnar, he’s a monste.

Outside of the UFC, there are still many fights for Fedor, there’s Barnett, Overeem, Bigfoot (I’d love to see him fight Lesnar), Monson, a rematch with Schilt, Melvin Manhoef (he may be 185/205, but he ko’s mucher bigger guys on a regular basis with extreme brutality), Werdum, rematch with Arlovski somewhere down the road, and there’s always few less-top-calibre guys who with a few solid wins could earn a shot (Sylvia?).

by Belisarius on Feb 17, 2009 10:11 AM EST reply actions  

People that say Brock has know chance are funny, he has a way better chance of beating Fedor than AA had. It blows me away that people hate Brock so much, he has mad wrestling skills mixed with his freakish size. This dude is for real and would be one on a very short list of people that I think would even have a remote chance of beating Fedor. If Brock ends up beating Fedor I wont be surprized, thats said he will most likely go down but who knows. I want to see this fight happen.

by broncos12405 on Feb 17, 2009 5:50 PM EST reply actions  

anyone who thinks brock wouldnt have a chance against fedor are idiots…first off there is no way in hell fedor would duplicate that arlovski punch ever again…fedor has only 6 ko’s in 30 fights that has to be the worst ko ratio in mma history…this is the only time he has ever ko’d someone in one punch…therefore its a fluke…it took him what nearly 10 years to end a fight with one punch? dude isnt a knock out artist, he isnt known for his power, like i said, he has the worst ko ratio in mma history..

if this fight happened today i think fedor would win…just because i dont think there is anything at the moment that brock could show him that he hasnt already seen in 30 fights…brock just doesnt have the experience in 4 fights to beat the best fighter in the world…it would probably be by kimora or decision…like mir said he isnt armbarring him, his neck is too big for fedor to get his bicep around…so it would more than likely be a kimora, or something similar to mir with a kneebar or ankle lock, a submission on something that brock’s muscles couldnt save him from like his arms could…

fedor would win today but i dont think fedor could beat a 2010 brock lesnar…a brock with 4 or 5 more fights against guys like mir and nogs and maybe a rematch with randy, guys who can brock the experience he needs to face the best guy in the world…

you take brocks althleticsm and strength and wrestling ability and teach him submissions and submission defenses and just give him more than just the 20 or so minutes that hes fought and he could be unstoppable..

brock isnt there yet, fedor would beat him today….but a year from now i dont think anyone could beat brock

How do you know that? He was a wrestler, he must have some defensive skills.

And for people that say he did nopt deserve a shot….pull your heads out of your ass. Randy did not deserve a shot when he came back, he should of had to work his way back to the top which did not happen because BROCK beat him like dog.

I pick fedor to beat brock but i think he’ll have to come out, get inside and swing for the fences like he did against sylvia. Apparently Fedor didn’t train properly for Arlovski and he did look a bit tentative so for this fight he’d better train his bollocks off. WAR FEDOR. whatever that means lol
