    Wow, nice balance, and footwork. Some flat out nasty moves in that clip.

    Yeah, Fedor would pretty much own anyone in the UFC heavyweight division. Shoot, Cro-Cop's going to (I know they offered him a deal, I don't know if he's accepted it) and he's not quite as good as Fedor. Cro-Cop's going to kick Sylvia's head off to take the belt, and barring a huge upset or someone like Fedor coming in he'll hold the belt as long as he wants to.

    The dude is sick. His only loss came six years ago. Nobody has that much speed, power, and balance. The Alexander Kerilin of the MMA world.

    he fights for somethng called "bodog" now -- huge change in MMA as PRIDE is on the skids in Japan - sometimes being Yakuza doesn't work out for ya...

    PS...FWIW - PRIDE's roid testing is lax...and by lax I mean pretty much nonexistent.

    Looking at Fedor, I don't think he's juicing. Not real defined, got a little bit of a roll around the middle (purely for center of gravity purposes I'm assuming). Dude just looks like he gets up every day and busts his butt in training.

    Now someone like Bob Sapp on the other hand... That dude's either on 'roids or he works out 18 hours a day. Hilarious promo work to build up interest in his fights (check some of his stuff on YouTube). Done a bit of wrestling in Japan although he doesn't look terribly good at it (you can tell he's pulling his punches and many times you can see him miss by several inches) but has loads of charisma. He's been offered by WWE and TNA, but he doesn't like WWE's schedule (it wouldn't let him go back to Japan for fights) but TNA's still a small possibility.

    And you think UFC testing is any better. Just look at Tito a few years back when he was the champ.
