Dana White: Brock Lesnar would smash Fedor Emelianenko

Props: LA Times

Quoteworthy:

"CBS would be out of their mind to put that rinky-dink [Strikeforce] . . . on the air again ... and without that backing, [promoters] won't have the money to pay [Emelianenko]. The guy just got his face smashed in by Brett Rogers. Do you know what Brock or [UFC heavyweights] Frank Mir and Cain Velasquez would do to Brett Rogers? It's time to bring [Fedor] in, to see Brock Lesnar smash his head."

UFC President Dana White has some unkind words for the CBS broadcast of "Saturday Night Fights." The event featured a main event of Brett Rogers taking on Fedor Emelianenko and while "The Grim" was hanging tough, ultimately fell to an overhand right from the "Last Emperor." White was not impressed with either fighter, claiming Zuffa champ Brock Lesnar would "smash" the Russian -- and also suggesting fellow heavyweights Frank Mir and Cain Velasquez would do likewise against Brett Rogers. Anyone want to take a guess at the outcome of Strikeforce putting their top three heavyweights against the three best 265-pounders the UFC has to offer?

…and the claws finally come out

brett rogers would smash frank mir and cain velasquez. he’s just naturally bigger,stronger, meaner, and tougher than either of those 2. lesnar and carwin are a different story though, they should be, they outweigh every opponent they’ve ever faced by at least 30 lbs. tell me, when lesnar fights fedor, if brock wins, will it be because of his superior fighting skills, or will it be because he’s fighting a man 50 lbs. smaller than he is. would the world go crazy if forrest griffin beat bj penn? the size difference between brock and fedor is equivalent to the size difference between forrest and bj. Brock SHOULD beat fedor, well duhhhhhhhh!! if brock were to lose to a man he outweighs by 50 lbs. he should be ridiculed as the laughing stock of combat sport!

I think Cain would probably beat him but he certainly wouldn’t beat Fedor. And Frank mir wouldn’t have a chance in hell at best Frank Mir is like a worse version of Werdum.

And Fedor would knock out Brock just like he did Brett.

Yeap. Even I am getting irritated by some of Dana’s Fedor comments. Fedor would destroy any heavyweight in the UFC including Lesnar. Even if Lesnar can take the fight to the ground I don’t see any way that he finishes Fedor. And on the feet it’s a brutal knockout waiting to happen. I love the UFC but Dana’s talking some stupid sh*t.

Lesnar has trained as a wrestler (amateur) just as long as Fedor has done Sambo. Fedor has beaten a lot of guys bigger than Brock. If Fedor ever puts his big boy pants on and comes to the UFC so we can see this fight and Brock wins, maybe it’s just because Brock is a damn good fighter with a unique skill set.

Brock is a very good fighter, he’s gonna be a great fighter undoubtedly but right now he hasn’t shown anything that can beat Fedor. Making Mir quit with strikes is not impressive. Doing what he did to Herring was very impressive IMO. But Herring is what he is. Please don’t bring up Couture because he was able to escape from underhim and bully him in the clinch. Let me start with this – Fedor can’t wrestle because you don’t really double leg people in Sambo so he will get taken down by Brock just like he got taken down by Coleman. But he would surely sub him(which he 100% would, long live King Nog) like he almost did to brett. I don’t understand like i said why people say that Big Nog would sub brock but not fedor? They’ve both been grappling for a long time and Fedor has done bigger things in sambo than Nog in BJJ. Standing isn’t even close. Brock’s standup is about as slow and mechanical as Nate Quarry’s.

He said Mir would beat Rogers not Fedor. Although I think thats a stetch as well. A wrestling background is not a rare skill set in the UFC either, its actually quite common. Its just not everyday that a train learns to wrestle and succeeds in the octagon with only that skill. Brock is way to green to beat Fedor and would have get better stand up to even think about that match. I’m very disappointed to see that Dana is now attacking SF when before he was complimenting them on their ability to hold a decent show. That was a great card imo and even tho I hated the Shields fight it still didn’t bring down the value of the card. Fedor got jabbed once and then punched in the face maybe five times by a man who was throwing bombs. I promise those hits would have killed Mir or any lesser man. I like what you said at the end there Jesse about if SF would take their top three against the UFCs top three and I would have to say they would. I would even go so far as to say that Brett wouldn’t be their choice of top three, it’d be Fedor, Alistar, and Arlovski imo. and the UFC would put up Brock, Cain, and Mir… I would say go with Nog but for some reason Dana likes to undermind the old PRIDE fighters.

PW—how about Brock Lesnar goes to Strikeforce if he wants to prove he’s the best. Since when does the #1 guy have to seek out the #2 guy (actually I don’t consider brock to be #2 but just a working assumption). Because the #2 happens to be in the all-mighty UFC?

Fedor would crush Brock inside of a minute! Brock isn’t even the top dog in the UFC!
I think Junior Dos Santos would stand the best chance against Fedor. you won’t win a fight on just wrestling, infact wrestling s’cks! just look at Shields he is the definition of a loser.

Frost — same reason the Pittsburgh Steelers won’t be playing the Grey Cup champions from last season.

Roberto — Brock has a big shiny belt that says he is the top dog in the UFC. And are you seriously comparing what Brock does to what Shields does? Really?

by PW on Nov 10, 2009 12:31 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Good post guys! PW, I love you and Im a big Lesnar fan, but you are Foking delusional on this one buddy!

Frosnt: GREAT POST MAN! Fedor has been the best HW for the better part of a Decade. Brock who I like, has had 5 fights in mma, and already lost 1 of them. iMO, Brock hasnt beaten ANYONE to even deserve a shot at Fedor. Herring, I am a fan of but is a gatekeeper. Mir is trash, Randy is vastly over rated….If Brock and Dana are so confident and have something to prove…They should go to SF to challenge Fedor, or at least co-promote. If you arent willing to do that, then STFU! If Dana is going to run his mouth, then Back it up….If Not, shut your trap. After the great night of fights that CBS and SF provided fr us, he just sounds like a jealous idiot making comments like that!

FYI: Dana better pray that Fedor/Brock doesnt happen for at least 2 years…cause TOday, it wouldnt even be a question that Fedor would finish Brock in a round or 2 tops!

Great post Duece! Eventually Fedor will lose, and all the haters will run their mouth as if 1 loss, tarnishes everything Fedor has accomplished…When he does lose, I really hope its not against a guy that weighs 50 lbs more then him…Like you said, would we really get excited about Forrest beating bJ Penn?

sheilds has more mma skill in his pinky then brock does in his entire body! Compare that! and this is coming from someone who loves Brock and hates sheilds! just real talk!

Yeah Dana is telling the truth Brock would destroy the chubby Russian that has only fought two top five in his life none compared to the abilities of Brock who by the way has more strength in his third leg than shield and his punched do damage unlike shields john G LOL.

You guys who think skill skill skill don’t understand athleticism and training go a long way. GSP isn’t better at BJJ than BJ but…. Lesnar isn’t more skilled than Mir but….

on and on.

So comparing Brock to Shields is like comparing Shaq to some college player that had the best skills in the world but didn’t go pro.

Natural talent and training matter in the UFC

by JeremyJackscan on Nov 10, 2009 12:38 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Any knowledgable fan would know that Fedor fought a ton of top ten HWs in PRIDE, he crushed them all. He’s fought a who’s who of HWs and still owns them all. Lesnar can’t stand and he’s terrible at finishing people. Sure he uses hammer fist but keep doing that with Fedor and he’ll armbar you. Shields is a very boring fighter but he using technique to get position and control the fight. Brock uses sheer size.

by Cogito Ergo Sum on Nov 10, 2009 12:44 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Yo JJ, natural training and talent will get you so far. What people are trying to say is that Fedor has no technique. He charges in using sheer force and doesn’t really have the kind of reaction time that most fighters do. Fedor would capitalize on that and would easily pick him apart standing or submit him on the ground. I’m not saying he wouldn’t catcha few fierce punches to the face but sheer power will not beat Fedor.

by Cogito Ergo Sum on Nov 10, 2009 12:49 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

vitor belfort would DESTROY fedor, fedor leaving his chin open like that to throw those bombs is EXTREMELY dangerous, sure if fedor lands one it’s done, but at the same time you give belfort any slight opening you’re done and that fight would interest me more than any heavyweight in the world fighting fedor right now. fedor has the absolute fastest brawling hands you will ever see, he makes brawling almost look like a science

Oh and you dummys should understand fedor chooses to fight at HW its not Brocks fault he has a bigger more powerful frame so you can compare brock and fedor to penn and griffin but maybe you should all think first before writing your shit down morons

Roberto, what did you see saturday that made you think he would smash Brock in a minute? Was it him getting pounded in the face by Roger’s gnp? He was on his back against BRETT ROGERS! Just imagine what Brock would do to hm on the ground? He couldnt sub BRETT ROGERS, but he could sub Brock? I hate Brock, but I would put money on him over Fedor any day! Brett Rogers sucks and he won that first round over Fedor! After this past weekend, I am absolutely convinced that Fedor would lose to Brock, and badly!

how the fck did he win that first round?he caught him with 1 jab,a bit of gnp and a few seconds of cage control.fedor had him in trouble with a combo,locked in 3 submissions and had more top comtrol.even cecil peoples wouldve scored that one to fedor!!!!

I like UFC but Dana rubs me the wrong way. I think Coker is awesome and I hope SF gets bigger then UFC. By the way UFC doesn´t really have a better HW div then Strikeforce. Since SF co-promotes they can sign Aleks, Barnett, Kharitonov and many rising heavyweights.

Lol at the guy who pretends he knows something about PRIDE and the UFC fighters back in the day. even funnier yet that he thinks Mir could submit Fedor. Maybe if Fedor agreed to a grappling match with one arm behind his back. haha what a novice post. I’m just going to stop arguing about it because anyone who thinks its Fedors responsibility to prove himself is delusional, he proves it time and time again. If Brock is so damn good let him co promote with Fedor and M1 just one time and I bet you Brock gets beaten standing and laying. btw to the wise man who doesn’t realize that Fedor is amazing off his back as well as on the top position. It doesn’t matter where that guy goes he’ll find a way to finish the fight in more than just caveman fashion. also Rogers punches on the ground to Fedor looked harder than any punch I’ve ever seen Lesnar throw.

by Cogito Ergo Sum on Nov 10, 2009 2:39 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Key word looks cogito fact of the matter you give Brock taht many strikes from that position it’s game over when he hit’s his opponent with only pulling back six inches from their he does as much damage as Rogers would. It’s funny you should speak of Pride that is the last time Fedor has faced a top five kind of sad some theink #1 but then again Finkledink the modern day Don king has the hype machine working luckily their isn’t as many fooled now days only those with introverted IQ’s LOL.

Its wierd that people are still arguing that Fedor is worthless. I believe Dana has done a good job “educating” his fans. People keep saying Brett got top position when in fact Fedor was on top and gave Brett the position in his attempt to secure the Kimura. When he could not and got punched in the face a couple of times, which admittedly looked very hard, he quickly went for an armbar which allowed him to find the escape. That GnP of 4 punches and that first jab are all that Rogers did in the first, The only people who would score that round for Rogers are Dana fans and UFC judges…In my humble opinion….

Introverted huh? Andrei Arlovski could kill everyone in the UFC right now. You think he isn’t a tough fighter? You want to write him off? I think thats pretty pathetic. Fedor knocked him out standing. Fedor stood with the guy. Could Brock do that? Please don’t answer that because everyone thinks that Herring punch was some amazing crap but it was just lucky punch. I think that fight would have been a lot different had it not been for that punch. Either way Fedors next opponent after AA was going to be the number 3 hw in the world Barnett. I don’t see that as running away especially since at the time everyone considered AA and Barnett to be the unvarifiable number 2 and 3 of the sport… Now he stands with Brett and knocks him out and your going to say its nothing? He’s going to face Werdum who many people feel was a loss to the UFC when he was still in title contention and a win doesn’t matter because Fedor out classes him? and when Fedor beats Alistar it won’t matter? The problem with all of you is your spewing this crap and its getting stuck in your own ears. Your talking about a fighter who isn’t afraid of other fighters but doesn’t want to sign his soul to Dana White who will never let him off contract ever again. Who continually talks trash about him. Who challenges him but never offers a co promotion or a one time fight deal. Then you take it even farther and go on to say that Brock has incredible power in rabit punches that only bother people. Frank Mir is a marshmellow when he gets hit in the face. Randy Couture was beating the man on his feat. And he couldn’t even finish a one eyed Heath… its incredible the crap your trying to make me believe and then you take it even farther and try to call me retarded? Learn to think for yourself and compare the facts, Fedor doesn’t run from competition. I can’t wait to see Nog rip Brocks foot off cause then you’ll understand what a farce he really is. Brock is not skilled, he’s only a very strong wrestler. His stand up is pathetic and his take downs are good but stoppable, his ground game relies on his massive size to pin his opponents down. Fedor has proven that he can handle much larger fighters, he can handle their reach. Has Brock ever proven he can beat a legitimate top five HW? IMO Heath, Mir, and Randy were never top fives. If you think they are then your even more delisional than you think. I’ve watched Brock fight and I’m not impressed. I think Fedor would be more afraid of facing Barnett than Brock any day.

Fedor can’t handle Brock’s size and strength. He had trouble w/ Grim’s size and strength, and Lesnar is much more powerful. Fedor and other fighters may have more MMA skill, but strength, power, athleticism all factor in. I’m not even convinced that Fedor would win a rematch w/ Grim! He is far from invincible like some of you guys swinging from his sack make him out to be. Now lets watch Werdum jump to the top 10 charts to make his fight w/ Fedor look legit.

Cain, Carwin and Junior would kill Rogers, Mir’s standup is horrible and I think Kongo is going to beat him..Fedor is the best but it’s disappointing he is not fighting guys on the above list…I give Rogers a pass for calling out Fedor right after the fight but Rogers and his trainer did the same thing at the post fight press conference saying he just caught and that he wasnt himself..guys admit that you got knocked out!!!!
ps Brock has a small chance against Fedor just by his size but I still say he looks like a clown when striking and Randy and Mir are not exactly the poster boys for striking…I need to see Brock face a good striker and take some shots first before this fight gets exciting to me

I don’t understand. Fedor gets handled by a guy who sold tires a year ago on the ground, yet somehow Fedor can handle a guy who is physically stronger and has wrestled over a decade at the highest level?

Rodgers broke Fedor’s face. Lesnar >>>> Rodgers on the ground!

Please someone answer, who is better and wrestling and ground and pound?

Rodgers or Lesnar?

LESNAR.

How did Fedor almost lose? on the ground. You can’t sub a man twice your size that is a phenomenal athlete and trains harder than you.

Dude i dont think Dana ever hyped Brock to be “The Best Ever” because hes just basically starting out,thats something you came up with.Beating a top ranked hall of famer and some previously well respected heavy weights in the world with only like 2 professional fights under his belt starting out is pretty damn impressive.Give me a list of top 5 ranked heavyweights thats done this even in the past of their careers…Fedor the can crusher Emelianstinko definantly isnt on the list.Being unbiased from a true mma fans perspective thats very impressive and if he takes the right road he has the potential to be one of the best if not the best heavyweight ever by far.True story.

JJ, Wes, and Legacy……………..i remember my first UFC PPV.

Its a shame how loudmouth new fans of the sport are touting brock as the best ever. I agree he is the next big thing but there is a reason Fedor is ahead of Brock on both Sherdogs Heavyweight and P4P lists (the consensus most legit mma rankings)and theres a reason while most professionals (fighters/press/etc.) will tell you that Fedor is #1

If you were able to see what Fedor has done and how he has done it (which you cant caus Zuffa owns the Pride footage)you can see what he has done. He has very little holes in his game.

Until somebody proves optherwise you cannot take that away from him.

Dont say Rogers did that. Rogers got handled in the fight. Fedor was tossing him around and dropping bombs on him. Fedor has been prone to cuts in the past and he was remaining very calm and collected when Rogers was landing those heavy shots and was able to escape.

Bottom line. all 31 of Fedors opponents have been flattened.

at this point in his career Brock stands very little chance of dethroning Fedor. spend more time watching the sport before you start trying to act as an authority on it.

no no. I give it a 50/50 actually.

50% chance Fedor hits brock lights out and 50% chance Lesnar gets it on the ground and Fedor is lights out.

But I will say this, Fedor could get hit by one of those lunch box fists and its lights out too.

deuce 4 – you can’t discredit a guy for his size. that’s just how the HW division is. you can’t compare a fight between forrest and bj to brock and fedor. that’s ridiculous. there is a significant weight difference, but fedor chooses to fight in HW so he is accepting the challenge to fight guys like brock. a fight between brock and fedor would go just like brocks fight with mir. he would take him down and pound him out.

Ridiculous thoughts here. The weight difference is irrelevant in the heavyweight division. It’s the weight class you fight in the if you (Fedor) are too fat and unmotivated to change your workout/nutrition habits then you deserve to get your ass beaten.

Seriously, if Fedor would get in shape and drop the tire around his waist, he could probably make 205. Fedor is a joke and quite frankly is disrespecting the sport. I realize this is a business but the best should fight the best but he is denying great matchups. It’s probably because he is unsure he could be Brock.

Keep in mind that Fedor is not the one using weight difference or anything else as an excuse. His nut hugger fans are the ones talking about all this. Fedor handles his business and doesn’t make excuses. I’m not a big Fedor fan, but am smart enough to realize that he is a top HW. I personally think he would have big problems w/ Lesnar, and after watching Rogers overpower him, I’m even more convinced that Brock would be able to control him and beat him.

Fedor can deal with larger fighters but, Brock is an exception to that, I am sure he is the strongest most explosive fighter in MMA I would think. I don’t like him at all and sure he doesn’t have the fastest hands or the best technique but he seems to do just fine despite these handicaps.
I would bet my house Brock would toss Rogers and Fedor around like rag dolls and you should keep in mind Brock is serious about his training and getting better in all areas so just because he got hit or was put in a challenging position in a previous fight doesn’t mean it will happen as easily again.

BTW Mir is doing a lot of strength building and adding size as is now over 255lbs+ and lean. Mir, Cain and Nog would dispose of Rodgers easily as long as they avoided getting caught with a bomb.

Brock Lesnar would smash Fedor?? Who has brock beaten, to deserve such praise. hmmm. Frank Mir, didn’t Brandon Vera, destroy Mir, not to long ago. Mir, who has Mir ever beaten??? A half dead, barely able to do anything, Nogeira,. NOt to long ago, Dana was saying how Randy would destroy Fedor. ummm, didn’t Nogeira just whoop Randy’s ass. yet Fedor threw Nogeira around the ring like a rag doll. twice. Back to Brock, he also beat Heath Herring, big freaken deal. Heath is a decent fighter, but not a top 10 heavyweight. and then, Brock fought Randy, lets go back to that fight, 1st round, randy was beating brock, randy opened up a cut on brocks eye. Brock couldn’t get Randy down. Brock was tired, even Joe rogan noted that Brock was breathing very heavy. Yes, Brock caught Randy, with a punch, and brock finished him. but lets get real here, Randy has a very bad record when it comes to heavyweights. If you compared Fedors last 3 fights against Brocks last 3, lets see, who had the tougher fights. thats laughable. Fedor knocked out Arlovski, with one punch. under 4 minutes. At the time, Arlovski was coming off of a 5 fight win streak and was ranked #2 in the world. Dana says fedor hasn’t fought anyone good in the last 3 years, well, who has brock ever fought. and please, randy is a 46 yr old guy, that was knocked out by a light heavyweight. not exactly the solid chin he once had. and in that fight, randy was winning. Brock is big and strong and can wrestle, but Fedor would either submit him, or knock him out. i’m thinking knocking him out. cause after 2 rounds, if it goes that long, brock will be so dead tired, he won’t be able to get fedor down any longer, and fedor would put him out. Its going to take a good wrestler to beat Fedor, wheres brocks stand up, its laughable. he has that one right hand, thats it.

Ok, fedor’s only loss is due to a cut and he would have won via DQ had it not been a tourney.

Hmm, correct me if i am wrong here, but didnt GSP lose in the last 5 seconds because he was thinking ahead and was cocky and didn’t train for Serra and lost?

didnt Anderson silva lose by a bad arm triangle in Pride and is also the victim of one of the sickest submissions in MMA?

Didn’t Brock try to use pure strength to dominate Mir in the first fight they had?

My point is that in Mixed Martial Arts, anyone, even us, has a punchers chance. Accidents and mistakes happen. In 31 fights, why is it that he has never had a “mistake” or a “fluke”. He beats the no names like he should and he has done nothing but dominate the top names. Even UFC heavyweights, such as cain velasquez(source: video on MMA Mania last week),dont think Brock can beat Fedor.

Dana I think is a good face and I think we can all agree that if Fedor went to the UFC and beat Brock, Dana would be touting him as a living legend. He is protecting his brand.

Very true David, Dana White is soooo un proffessional, he is the least classy guy in mma. He pissed off Hendo and Rampage, and the thing that I really truly fail to understand about him, is that he spends soooo much time insulting fedor and saying how terrible he is and then is actually surprized when Fedor doesn’t want to work with him.

If anything I think that Fedor coming to the UFC would be Dana’s worst nightmare, because there is a chance that Fedor would beat Brock, Cain and co and that would legitamize everything that Dana has spent so long trying to destroy (ie. other orgs that Fedor has fought in) and make him and the UFC look pretty stupid and knock them right off of their high horse!!

Dana doesn’t need to talk about the competition, you don’t see Pepsi and Coca Cola talking about each other as that’s free advertising to the competition. Making a controversial statement about a fight and a promotion will encourage those who missed SF and Fedor to watch the next SF show or Fedor fight, plus it makes him look dumb for bashing a great card and a great fighter who he tried to sign for $6 million a fight.

Dana probabaly did more advertising for SF and Fedor-Grim than CBS did and I bet his Mayweather bashing helped promote his fight with JMM better and made him and the UFC look small-time when their numbers got killed by a big boxing card.

Also, if he kept contract negotiations private like any other professional sports manager/owner/promoter does then maybe Fedor, Rampage and Hendo wouldn’t get pissed off by Dana trying to turn the media and public against them.

The card on Saturday did not even come close to a UFC fight night. For having such high caliber fighters, the co-main event and the first fight were really boring. There were too many commercials, bad commentators, and really bad WWE entrances. MMA fans are grown man and we do not need pyro to get excited.

Also, take any fighter from the upcoming UFC events, even some from the prelims put them in Strikeforce and see how they instantly become contenders and the best fighters in the world to hardcore fans.

Although there is much hate for the UFC, they at least try to make MMA a legitimate sport and not just entertainment like they do in Japan were the sport comes second. Also, did you notice that Saturday Night Fights on CBS was not hosted by CBS Sports? Interesting, not even CBS looks at MMA like a sport.

Did you see the fight? Fedor was handled against the cage by a guy who is not even a wrestler and Brett’s strength got the better of Fedor with that arm bar. Of course Dana believes Brock can beat Fedor. A good wrestler who can grind Fedor against the cage and control him with ground and pound for 5 rounds can definitely take Fedor out. Unlike Rogers, Brock has been in main events and has been able to handle the pressure, Rogers was already sweating before he even walked into the cage.

So what if the bigger guy pressed him against the cage for a while…..what did you expect?

Pushing someone against the cage does not win you fights but really takes all the cardio from the opponent, taking out his explosiveness, but the point is that he got handled by a bigger stronger guy against the cage and on the ground, keeping in mind that Rogers is not a wrestler. Do you think Rogers is as good at wrestling as Brock? If you ask Dana or course he is going to say Brock will beat Fedor, but looking at the fight on Saturday I think that Brock, Randy, and even guys like Cain can beat Fedor, why? because they are strong wrestlers that can nullify Fedors skills and explosiveness. But Fedor KO’d Rogers…yeah but Rogers was gassed and got careless in the second round, something I doubt will happen to any of the guys listed above.

I’m watching the fight were a mediocre fighter with sublevel wrestling and submission defense got the best of Fedor at the 2min mark were he couldn’t keep him down, or were he got reversed in that kimura attempt. Then if Roger was an experienced fighter he would have not lost the position were he pounded on Fedor and got put in that arm bar.

Again, the point here is can Brock beat Fedor? before last Saturday everyone would have said no, because some have this image of Fedor of being a fighter with no weaknesses. After this Saturday, I agree with Dana that fighters with a set of skills like Brock’s and Randy’s can definitely do the job.

Well hopefully we agree that Brock learned from that mistake in his following fights. Herring, Randy, and Mir could not put him in a position were he was vulnerable to a submission. If Fedor cannot control Rogers on the ground, why would you think he can do this to Brock, or Randy, or even Cain for that matter.

If Fedor can’t control Brock on the ground…he’d knock his head off standing.

There is a difference between “controlled” and “neutralized”.

Rogers neutralized him (at points)…but never controlled him….ever.

Even when he started punching from Fedors guard…Fedor slapped on an armbar.

Im sorry i ment that his submissions can be neutralized,and he can definantly be controlled by a stronger man Rogers wasnt playing ground with him for long but thats one of the kinks I seen in his armor based on the whole fight.

Rogers hurt Fedor with that jab…there’s no doubt about it…fmx, make sure you watch that part and notice how hard Rogers hit him…supposedly broke his nose…its amazing Fedor wasn’t on the ground earlier…he went to the ground and had no problems getting up from whatever Rogers had for him…THATS the sign of a champion…outweighed by 30+ pounds, with a broken nose he STILL manages to beat Rogers EVERYWHERE and KO him in the process

by McArthur on Nov 10, 2009 2:58 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Than you also saw how Rogers had no problems getting up from whatever Fedor had for him including that Kimura and Armbar. I disagree that Fedor beat Rogers everywhere like you say, Fedor ko’d Rogers, but when he got hurt he tried to take it to the ground and could not submit him and as you can see in the video even hold him in the ground. In the second round Rogers gassed, got sloppy, and got ko’d due to his inexperience.

I do not understand why many put Fedor head and shoulders above the rest of the heavyweights in the UFC like he could walk through them like a machine. Saturday we were shown that there are some weak points, especially in the cage. Also, in my opinion it is the first time that Fedor faces a truly big and strong heavy weight. The freaks he fought in Pride may have been over 300 pounds and had big muscles, but that doesn’t mean that they have great core strength like Brock, Carwin, and another example can be someone like GSP in the lower weight divisions. Fedor knows the US is not Japan and that going to the UFC poses a threat to his unbeaten record which is what he and his management bank on to make money. Nog put money aside came to the UFC and is now doing well, also Anderson Silva, Lyoto Machida, Shogun, and others, why was Fedor different, because he saw what happened to CroCop and decided not to risk it. Who can blame him for securing his future, but don’t put him above the rest on the presumption that he is invincible.

In the end to each is own, I’m looking forward to fights between Nog, Brock, Carwin, Cain, Dos Santos and others next year, and then wait to see Fedor fight another can who could not make it in the UFC and claim his glory as number 1.

The only reason Fedor caught Grim with that right is because Grim had his hands down to his nipples practicly the whole time it was on the feet.When Grim had his hands up blocking them sloppy ass haymakers Fedor was throwing in the 2nd round not 1 landed they clinched and he turned Fedor into the cage like he was 3 year old toddler.If Grim had even the smallest wrestling background kept his hand high and shot on Fedor in between his sloppy exchanges it would of been a ground and pound clinic until it was stopped.What the heck do you think brock would do to him.lol.You guys crack me up.

Fedors post fight interview he stated that he studied Rogers’ footwork and knew when to throw the right hand.

I’m normally pretty quite on these blogs, but I can’t take this shit anymore. If Brock got his hands on Fedor, he would crush him. All you dumb asses need to realize that Fedor’s mythical status is due to the fact that he was using Russian level roids and HGH back in his Pride days. He’s said time and time again that his most difficult fight was against Crocop. Why do you guys think Crocop is so inferior in the UFC? Its cause he can’t juice anymore and he hasn’t evolved as a fighter. I don’t think Bret Rogers would of won this fight under any condition, but that’s only cause he’s a C or at best B level heavyweight. Congo would smash Bret Rogers…shit Pat Barry would beat Rogers. All of you Fedor nutthuggers need to shut the fuck up and pay attention. Your boy ain’t shit but a puggie Russian who has to go through other organizations and cherry pick his fights so his legacy lives on. It’s like some Euro League basketball player claiming he’s the best basketball player in the world. You can’t make that statement unless you play in the NBA (UFC). UFC has the best fighters and to be the best, you have to be fighting the best. There’s no easy fights in the UFC. Now he’s going to fight Verdum? WTF kind of joke is that!!! Verdum was 2-2 in the UFC.

i dont see how anyone can say anything bad about Fedor. He has ruled his division for a decade. 30-1. doesnt talk smack and is humble.

I still enjoy the fact that talk of the best fighter in the world has a sentence with the name Brock Lesnar in it. Really? Really?? He’s just a big guy who can wrestle. His GNP is beyond overrated and he’s about as one-dimensional as they come. Elbow jiggle FTW? Hardly. He would get handled. His best case scenario would be to take Fedor down . . . and then what? Seriously. Come on. He would get GNP’ed himself, subbed, or KO/TKO’ed on the feet. Sure, it’s just another opinion, but at least it’s an opinion not based on being blind to the UFC hype machine and knowing that Herring (now) and Mir (anytime) are not good. Mir just laid in the his half guard, held on for dear life, and has never had a good bottom game. Couture is a different story. But Randy is a wrestler too (better than Brock), was outweighed by 60 lbs. or so, has never done well against big guys who can wrestle like that, AND his reaction/chin are not what they used to be.

I understand your point, but this argument doesn’t work. Randy lost due to a punch and then so-called GNP, not by being out-wrestled. Rogers lost by punch that pretty much knocked him lifeless. Rogers landed a jab and 2-3 punches on the ground. Fedor hit him better and more often.

BTW, personally, I think Brock did out-wrestle Couture. Not by much though—especially given his obscene weight advantage.

Bahahaha Lesnar is 4-1 and Fedor 31-1. If Lesnar can go 27 fights in a row without losing then maybe he might be on Fedor’s level. But then again he would be out weighing everyone he fights by 40 pounds. And Fedor fights everyone who is 30-40 pounds heavier then him.

Dana should do a tourney with Strikeforce. Put his money where his mouth is.

Quarter Finals

Fedor vs Carwin
Overeem vs Valasquez
Rogers vs Lesnar
Werdum vs Mir

Semi-Finals would look like this…

Fedor vs Overeem
Rogers vs werdum

Final

Fedor vs Rogers……again.

Prove me wrong, Dana…..I dare you.

You’re retarded… That’s the way it would go because the number 1 Mania troll says so?
For a guy who says other people need to watch MMA and not just UFC, where are all your posts on topics that aren’t UFC related? I never see you say anything in any other thread that is about Sengoku or Dream or those ADCC threads. Face it you are a UFC fan and probably haven’t seen a Bellator fight or any small org. for that matter. Now as far as your imaginary tourney where you’ve picked the match ups to fit your scheme here’s one for you with the same guys almost.

Fedor vs. Cro Cop
Overeem vs. Brock
Rogers vs. Shane
Werdum vs. Dos Santos

Fedor vs. Dos Santos
Brock vs. Shane

Brock vs. Fedor

Brock is the champ, that is if Fedor even got past Dos Santos.

Making a tourney with the matches that help your cause is easy.

I’m a little pissed about Buakaw getting robbed in his last fight, though.

I thought Dana said Mir would beat Rogers….why not match them up?

Oh ya…’cause Rogers would knock his head off.

I doubt it.

It basically uses the same guys in your tourney( you didn’t even use good UFC guys) except flips the script for a better draw showing you that it could go the opposite way. I even used Cro Cop to give you a nice early advantage, it still doesn’t work out well for the SF boys though.

Dana made comparisons between Brock, Cain, Carwin, Mir and the SF guys.

I agree, great idea! But showtime would never take a chance on having their best fighter losing. It would only prove their inferiority as an organization. Which everyone knows they are. They have about 5 or 6 really good fighters, the rest of them are ufc wanna-be’s or has-beens. Like it or not the ufc is the premiere organization in mma. Just as the NFL is for football and the NBA for basketball.

U all r missing the point! Dana is saying this because he is a mma fan just like all of us. Yes he wants to promote his brand, but i really believe he just like all of us just wants to see the best fighters fight the best fighters. Who wouldnt want to see Fedor fight any of those guys mentioned. Brett Rogers is a beast but come on he is not ready to be fighting on that stage. U should hate Fedor for not joining the UFC. Anyone who is supposedly the best at his craft WANTS to compete against the BEST. And whether or not if u like Dana, the majority of the best fighters r in the UFC.

Fedor is signed with M-1…which Dana won’t deal with.

All Dana has to do is co-promote with M-1, and you’ll get to see Fedor fight Brock…but of course all you Dana lovers do is side with Dana and say “screw those commie basterds….don’t co-promote”. Then Dana never has to do it, and you can all bash Fedor for “ducking”.

If you guys want to see Fedor fight Brock…all you have to do is stop acting like you are all Dana’s business advisors and start demanding the fight.

But, you won’t.

Do you even listen to yourself? M1 wants to co-promote, but what do they do to co-promote? They manage a fighters life, that’s it. What did M1 do for SF this weekend that they couldn’t have done for themselves? They took up advertising space in the cage that could have gone to actual PAYING customers. Is M1 going to foot half of the bill if SF doesn’t make enough money to stay afloat after their next show? NO, they are going to sue SF, just like they are suing Affliction. M1 will kill SF and you are wondering why UFC didn’t want to get in bed with them? What sort of business do you run? Mind if I co-promote with you? I don’t have anything to offer, just want my name in all you advertisements.

Jay,

you’ve just summed up everything I just said…

You need to stop acting like a Dana fanboy, business advisor and start demanding the fight.

You are the reason this fight will never happen.

I don’t disagree with you that it would not make business sense for the UFC to do it…I’ve never stated otherwise.

The difference between you and I is simple… don’t care…I’m an MMA fan….not a guy who is worried about how many Ferraris Dana White can afford.

M1 Finklestein is the modern day Don King he has made Fedor tons of money and fame and fooling many since his Pride days wich really Fedors #1 has been standing because of beating one fighter NOG. Guaranteed they are making it sound back in Russia like Fedor beat the best American HW. Think about what kind of record guys like BJ Penn would have fighting guys ranked #10 in the world he would destroy them just look at his opponents there is only one fighter on it that is in the top five today and he only beat two top five fighters in his life M1 has made a lot of fools money I’ll give them that hey intro LOL.

How would doing one fight with M-1 ruin the UFC?

Please explain.

As much of a UFC fanboy as you are, you sure aren’t giving the UFC much credit by assuming they’d forfeit their whole orginization somehow by co-promoting one event.

Can you explain why you think doing one co-promoted event with M-1, and giving all of us the fight we want to see, would ruin the UFC’s enterprise?

Dana won’t do it for one reason only…

He’d be left holding nothing but his d!ck in his hand after the fight was over…..that’s it.

I’m a fan man. I want to see the best fighters fight. But from a business perspective, I understand it would be stupid for Dana to give away a piece of the business he and his partners built to a promotional company that dosen’t know what the hell they are doing. M-1 are idiots, they are small potatoes and shouldn’t have any promotional right/partnership to the ufc. The ufc made mma! And Fedor is stupid for letting them run his career into the ground as of late.

I agree with the “business perspective” thing…I really do.

But, seeing the best fights available trumps any “business dealings” for me.

M-1 would not ruin the UFC over 1 fight…..like I said, give Dana and the bros. more credit than that.

You know something funny, Fedor may never come to the UFC but i am willing to bet that if Lesnar holds the title for a few years he will be the one who leaves and he would go to whatever org that fedor fights for just so he can test himself and prove to himself that he is the best. He seems like that type of guy.. screw loyalty he does these things for himself. I liked the fedor fight a lot and i didnt really like fedor before, No i dont think Rogers would fair well in the UFC, He may have a hell of a punch but he is one sloppy guy.

Those punches were not from the mount, they were from the guard. The only mount that Rodgers had was a reverse mount when he slipped out of the arm bar attempt and he only had that for about 5 sec.

It is time for Dana to put up or shut up. After Fedor’s next 2 fights Dana should sign him to a one fight deal, slap M-1s stupid name by the UFCs for one show and lets do this. Unless he’s afraid that title might go back to Russia.

Of course Fedor has been hurt plenty of times , He been CUT , Taken down , hmm , STUNNED once by fujjita , And maybe hurt but we will never find that out because he never makes any emotions with his face when he is hitting someone or when he gets hit.

But the fact is , No matter what you do , He always finds your weakness and turns the table and wins.

And as for the ppl saying ’what’s Dana supposed to say about FEDOR? That he’s the best etc?’ He doesn’t have to say anything. There’s a solution. Or he could do what coker does and say ’they’ve got some great talent’. Dana could also say, ‘it wasn’t the best show IMO but check us out saturday for free n see what ya think’. He can say numerous things without attacking them. An opinion is just that. Attacking them is different.

Fedor is a bleeder and Saturday showed that the cage can get in the way of his submission attempts. A bigger UFC HW can easily press Fedor against the cage and drop elbows which Fedor never had to deal with.

Fact is Fedor will NEVER be ‘allowed’ to sign with the UFC while M-1 controls his life. Until he’s signs with the UFC all the hate should go towards all those russian douchebags in suits that surrounded Fedor after the fight like little leaches.

I’m sure even jay would agree with me (for a change) that we all like a good MMA debate, but to read a post with no grammar or punctuation is a solid waste of time.

Just put some periods and commas in your post so you don’t have to get into arguments over stupid crap like punctuation.

Dude if you can’t work a shift button or use paragraphs or proper sentence structure, what am I going to learn from you? You probably don’t know what you are talking about if you don’t know how to write a sentence. I would like to give you some feed back since that is what I enjoy doing.

I think more tenured fans are delusional with their hate for Dana and Brock into convincing themselves that Fedor is more than he is and that Brock is less of a fighter than he really is. I’m sorry guys but when a man with a 700lb bench press holds you down and pounds your face it’s over. Fedor is actually one of my favorite fighters and has been forever but this is a very bad matchup for him. Quick strikers that can get a KO before the takedown is the only way to beat Brock. I know of you are gonna type about how Frank caught him in that Kneebar but Brock has obviously gotten better since then and using his strengths better. Brock will not reign forever because I do not believe he can take a punch but great wrestling with a 700 plus pound bench press means something as a heavyweight.

Next I do not believe it would be wise for Fedor to fight Brock or any other top heavyweight right away. Although Brett is very tough and is evolving at a very fast pace Fedor is obviously not ready for top competition anymore. I think that Fedor’s enablers have not surrounded him with enough good quality sparring partners and fighters to set him up for top level competition.

Dana has done a lot for this sport by thinking about the fans, and thats awesome but just because of this it does not mean that we as fans should take all his decisions and try to understand them..

Well if Frank Mir can out-strike Lesnar on his feet, then Fedor would crush Lesnar, he leaves himself so open. Brock has become “the best” in many peoples’ eyes, but has only beaten Mir and Couture and two cans, you could say he has only one credible win, and that was over Mir depending on how you view Couture (who was winning that fight before he ate that punch. Fedor would beat Brock, Overeem would beat Brock, I’d even give Rogers a good shot if he can keep the distance and rain a few bombs on Lesnar.

Lesnar can’t even fight Carwin because of mono. Nog fought Mir when his training camp was messed up due to injuries and a staph infection.

Questions for all you wannabe UFC executives…..

How would doing one fight with M-1 ruin the UFC?

Please explain.

As much of a UFC fanboy as you all are, you sure aren’t giving the UFC much credit by assuming they’d forfeit their whole orginization somehow by co-promoting one event.

Can you explain why you think doing one co-promoted event with M-1, and giving all of us the fight we want to see, would ruin the UFC’s enterprise?

You’d think Dana’s fanclub would give the UFC a little more credit than what they do….thinking M-1 would bury the UFC for cross-promoting one measly event.

I say….email Dana and demand one cross-promoted event, so we can clear this thing up. I for one will give the UFC enough credit and say that M-1 will not ruin their enterprise after one cross-promoted event.

I apologize if this has been posted in the above 200+ comments but I just wanted to see why people are saying that if Brock or another large HW beats Fedor that it doesn’t mean anything because they outweigh him by like 50lb? So why fight in a division where you are going to be the smaller guy Because that’s what MMA is all about style, strength and conditioning to win a fight not just size.
 Its not like Fedor can’t fight at a lower weight he chooses to fight at HW so if the time comes that he loses to a bigger man its pretty sad that REAL Fedor fans would complain that he lost to another fighter that outweighed him when he has been beating the bigger man almost his whole career. So if you are a true Fedor or MMA fan don’t make yourself look like a retard and say that it doesn’t mean anything if he loses to a real sized HW.

2nd post on the page gents.

brett rogers would smash frank mir and cain velasquez. he’s just naturally bigger,stronger, meaner, and tougher than either of those 2. lesnar and carwin are a different story though, they should be, they outweigh every opponent they’ve ever faced by at least 30 lbs. tell me, when lesnar fights fedor, if brock wins, will it be because of his superior fighting skills, or will it be because he’s fighting a man 50 lbs. smaller than he is. would the world go crazy if forrest griffin beat bj penn? the size difference between brock and fedor is equivalent to the size difference between forrest and bj. Brock SHOULD beat fedor, well duhhhhhhhh!! if brock were to lose to a man he outweighs by 50 lbs. he should be ridiculed as the laughing stock of combat sport

I guess i worded it wrong OJR it was put that if he did lose to someone that had 50lb on him would anyone be excited about it.

Post from above:

Great post Duece! Eventually Fedor will lose, and all the haters will run their mouth as if 1 loss, tarnishes everything Fedor has accomplished…When he does lose, I really hope its not against a guy that weighs 50 lbs more then him…Like you said, would we really get excited about Forrest beating bJ Penn?

Now thats comparing a LHW to a LW not the same weight class. AND yes i know HW has a massive gap but still its his choice to fight there and to say that it would not be somthing remarkable for someone to beat him even though they have 50+ on him is weak.

I’ll just say as a fan, I’d love to see that fight. Fedor has gone against some huge dudes but Lesnar is kind of a freak in that he’s not just big and strong but pretty quick and smart enough to know how to get somebody in a bad position and take advantage of that (Mir fight). But experience is still a big deal and that’s why Fedor has a big advantage. Who really knows how this plays out but damn, I’d love to see it. Dana doesn’t need to be bashing Fedor just because he’s in another promotion. Really, he just needs to be ready to pull the trigger when the opportunity comes by to maybe sign Fedor again. Also, needs to get Mousasi.

Isn’t it interesting that Strikeforce now has the network deal and we all just watched Fedor and Mousasi for free?

Before seeing the fight last Saturday, my money was on Lesnar to beat Fedor. But after watching Fedor beat Rogers it is clear Fedor would beat Lesnar just on the fact that he is “Too Cool for School”. What I mean by that is Fedor got his nose busted and in a dangerous ground/pound situation and neither time did he freak out or get excited. He took care of business. The only thing Lesnar has in his favor is the famously stupid “PUNCHERS CHANCE”. Lesnar is too all over the place and gets too excited which would more than likely result in Fedor choking Lesnar out.

Oh one more thing… Velasquez or Mir would get impregnated by Rogers (In other words FUCKED). Sorry Dana… get your head out of your ass.

I didnt say anything about Rogers beating Brock. That would be foolish to assume that. But Rogers would smoke the other two.

Yes, I’m pretty sure if the worst striker in MMA which is Marcio Cruz can tko Frank Mir as well as Brandon Vera who isn’t even a top 10 205er, I am pretty sure Brett Rogers would handle him easy. Velasquez hasn’r proven shit with his 7-0 record. He has been given good matchups for his style. Kongo has zero take down defence and Rothwell blows. And those are the only 2 names he has faced. Lesnar is 4-1 and has also been given non-dangerous matchups. Put lesnar against a good striker with good take down defence and he would get murdered. Fedor is the greatest of all time and his 31-1 record is proof.

First of all , CAIN dont have any chin , He got stunned like 3 to 4 times by Cheick Kongo , Ima give him credit because he dident get knocked out , But think about this , If Fedor connected on Cain , The result would be ( GOOD NIGHT CAIN )

Some of you are suggesting ranking MMA fighters is really not smart at all, after all who are you WAMMA. UFC, Strikeforce, DREAM and other don’t even fight under the same rules, competition r fighters and even the stage they fight on is different. I guess next Josh Barnett will move up in rankings because of his recent victory? Come on, enough already! Brock is the champ of UFC, Overeem is Strikeforce champ and so on. Leave it at that. You sound like VH1 insisting on ranking everything under the sun. (However the top ten songs of the 80’s were alright

One thing is for sure the #1 HW in the world is disputed let’s leave it at that we can all think this guy is better or that guy is better in the end it’s all opinion some intelligent opinion some not so much(hey intro) but none the less it’s all opinion unless these fighters actually face each other it’s going to be disputed who the best is that’s a fact not a opinion by the way intro. So right now in this day and time the fans of MMA are disputed on who the best is in the world and that’s the way it should be the fans who decide not Finklestein or Don King a wesite or a Magazine but the fans and trust me I’ve been around the websites and it’s disputed.

I genuinely believe Lesnar would have a very good chance at beating Fedor. Does Fedor have KO power, of course, but Lesnar wins that fight if it goes to the ground. And you can bet your bottom ruble that is where it’ll end up. Brock isn’t goint to stand there taking shots. Bret won round one of that fight, AA, won round one in his fight. Both of them tried to keep it standing, Lesnar will have none of that and take it to the ground.

I am not a fan of Brett Rogers, but he earned my respect by how well he did, I honestly thought he was going to get destroyed. I fall somewhere in between with Fedor, I am not a nuthugger and I am not a hater. Fedor is human and certainly has looked beatable in his last couple of outings.

He needs to step up and start fighting better competition, other than AA and perhaps BR, who else has he fought that was even note worthy or for that matter, top ten?

I like Fedor, but I’d like to see him fight better competition.

im tired of dana white, for a while it was kind of funny, then dumb, not i see hes just an arrogant prick. Im calling for a comlete boycot of the UFC due to dana white being a disrespectful, power hungry a-hol. power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. dana thinks he is this power

gypsy you are a moron… maybe you should get your head out of your ass. brock would smash fedor so would many in the ufc, and i believe “the great white hyp” / “biggest can of all time” fedor knows it and is scared. if fedor comes to the ufc the myth is over he would no longer be viewed as a great and would be forgotten in history and he doesnt want that he wants to be remembered…… if you ask me fedor is a russian punk and i couldnt care less what he does hes a piece of shiiiit

we all know if fedor signed for ufc dana would be the first to hail him as the best ever. brock beat ageing randy and no good mir! get real dana white ,we all know you are an arsehole !

Then lets co-promote Dana…not the whole event just the main event. M-1 Global Fedor vs. UFC Bock…the biggest drawing UFC fight of all-time. Then we can see who really is the best in the world. Dana, your happy that M-1 Global wants to co-porpmote because, its giving you an out from seeing your current draw from getting knocked out. Brock couldn’t even beat a cold. He’s beat a 46year old man who had a year lay-off, he beat heath herring who hasn’t been relevant in a long time and he beat Frank Mir post motorcycle accident whose had one impressive victory over a battered Nog. Dana White knows Brett Rogers is good and a lot better then Rothwell, Kongo, Hardnok, Cro Cop. He knows Arlovski is better then about 85% of his heavyweights even with time-off and he knows deep down inside he’s impressed with Fedor. Dana White says he’s a man for the people, The people all agree Fedor is the best and they want him in the UFC. You have to fucking co-promote one fight on a card which will make you absolute millions, moron

dana is an ass, he is worried about strileforce. the fedor v. rogers fight was more entertaining than the last ufc and the entire season of tuf combined. if hendo goes over there they will have another marketable big name fighter to promote.

ufc put it all on the table to make this imaginary fights happen, and Fedor didn’t take it.

Fedor’s people want him to be the best fighter that ever fought. Only problem is he will be known as the best fighter who ever fought everywhere but the UFC, and the guy that beat former UFC champions, that UFC let go because they were useless.

I’m not knocking Fedor as a fighter, but to be the best, you have to beat the best.

So far, everyone with name that Fedor has beat is either out of UFC, or has not been impressive in the UFC, and that goes for Noguera too.

If he ever signed with UFC, he would loose and the excuse would be age…….he had his chances……

FEDOR, the best heavyweight that never fought in the top organization and top talent. Fights would have, could haves and has beens. It’s sad.

And as far as weight, HW goes from 206 to 265. That’s not Lesnar’s fault. If he smashes Fedor some day, this would be the weakest excuse. Fedor isn’t a small guy. He has a gut. If he was in shape, he still couldn’t make 205 though.

Should there be a 230-240 cutoff and above called Super Heavy Weight? I don’t think Brock could make 240.

The only reason Fedor didn’t go to the Ufc is because he doesn’t like Dana. As for Brock beating Fedor….not a chance, Dana you7 didn’t get Fedor because of you saying you have better fighters than him isn’t going to magically bring to the UFC, so shut the fuck up, and deal without him. FEDOR WOULD SMASH BROCK AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT.

Fedor is a joke…

Dana is dead on in the interview, lesnar will never lose a fight for the rest of his carrer, and a pussy like Fedor dosnt stand a chance against him.

Ha ha ha, if size and strength are the only thing to be a the UFC heavyweight champion, than mariusz pudzianowski is going to be the next champion. If you people think lesnar is stonger than fedor, than you will be shocked at how much stronger pudzianowski is over lesnar, he is having his first mma fight in december.

Lesnar could not smash Fedor, Althoug it would be an interesting fight. Lesnar is pretty much the only UFC heavyweight that could give Fedor a solid fight. Carwin is too slow and has no head movement, velasquez has no submissions and can’t hurt people with his striking. Lesnar would get KO’ed like rogers did, lesnar has poor stand up, his punches are sloppy and aren’t damaging other than that straight right.

dana dana dana… if fedor was in the ufc he would be telling a different story. He’s just bashing fedor because hes in another organization. If dana was a true mma fan he wouldnt be saying this bullshit

kinda funny how I remember when Brock was 1-0 and he had so many haters. People said he had no MMA skills and wouldn’t be successful. As soon as he improved and went on a tear, so many people got on the bandwagon. I can just imagine when he loses people will get off the bandwagon just as fast and say that he never was legit. All he has is wrestling. yada yada yada. That will be interesting when the day comes.

I can’t believe anyone gives any credence to Brocks achievements in MMA.
He’s massively out-weighed all his opponents, by more than 2-stone (30lbs) in some cases, the equivalent of Anderson Silva (185 lbs) vs BJ Penn (155 lbs). And this is fair, how??
Brocks an incredible wrestler, I struggle to list his “MMA Skills” though, I’m willing to admit otherwise though if theres any evidence to the contrary.

Thats just DANA SELLING HIS BRAND. We all know if Fedor was with the UFC Dana would have him as the best fighter alive. JUST LOOK AT HOW HE HYPED KIMBO EVEN AFTER A LOSS TO ROY NELSON. DANA you are so predictable.

%100 correct, Dana sell the UFC brand and Strikforce want a peace of the action. I have to say that M-1 is full of a bunch of promoters that are douche bags

I would beg to differ about smashing fedor i really believe that dana is trying to pump up fedors camp and make a move….HOWEVER—— fedors camp said they are willing to work with dana but hes to stubburn to cross promote to make it happen,,,dana says why make them money….HEY DANA…its us the fans that make your paycheck nice….stop being tight and make a deal….you will get money,fedors camp will get money, and US the mma fans will pay to see it so theres more money…stop bashing strikeforce cause if they was not around lord knows how much you would charge for a fight on ppv

Brocks a great wrestler. Brocks also freakishly big & strong.
To my mind, the last fighter to dominate a division with only a wrestling skill-set was Matt Hughes. What else was he really good at?? The comparison stops there though because Matt Hughes never out-weighed an opponent by more than 30 pounds.
My point??
Would Brock beat the majority of Heavyweights without the size advantage?
People keep talking up Brocks credentials but to me he’s a little 1-dimensional, and, would not have beat Frank Mir without a 30-lb handicap.
I mean, the Heavy Weight division is the only division where such a gulf in weight isn’t questioned. If all UFCs HW fighters were the same size Im pretty certain Brock wouldn’t be at the top of the tree.
Don’t you guys n gals think there should be a super Heavy Weight division to accomodate guys over a certain weight?
Look at what happened in the GSP BJ Penn fight. A very good LW vs a very good WW, and we have a mis-match. A good HW vs a good HW weighing 30lbs less and everyone sees that as a fair fight??
Hmmmm…

ITS VERY POSSIBLE THAT BROCK COULD MAN HANDLE. VERRRY POSSIBLE, SO ALL Y’ALL PPL THAT ARE GIVING HIM no CHANCE, THEN Y’ALLL ALLL ARE IN 4 A BIG SURPRISE!!!
