    Fedor's got concrete slabs for hands. That was just silly. Arlovski looked legit and then in 2 seconds it was over.

    Seriously, who else could even pose a threat to this guy? AA was looking great but Fedor is just so smart and crafty. God I want to see him fight Lesnar.

    Honestly, I watched the beginning and started thinking, "this might be it... Arlovski's punching too fast for him to even react and when he does, he's not hitting". Then he rotated Arlovski's entire body with one punch to the head.

    Lesnar vs. Fedor would be incredible. But I wonder if Lesnar is so freakishly powerful, he'd really give Fedor problems. I only say that because at some point people get so damn big and powerful combined with fast, that it can overcome talent. Then again, Frank Mir showed all it takes is one mistake to overtake speed and power, and Fedor would absolutely take advantage every mistake he made. It would be an interesting fight. If it happens and Fedor wins, he should just retire a legend.

    Arlovski looks like the greatest ever until his opponent lands that first good shot and then it's over. I remember watching him destroy everyone on his way up the UFC ladder, he just ran through everyone with a barrage of punches that no opponent could withstand; Iwas amazed by the guy, and then I saw someone hit him and it's been the same every time, he gets hit he goes to sleep.

    I think it was Tim Silva who exposed the pitbull as a chihuahua and he's been an ankle biter ever since, glass jaw for sure.

    The only two people I gave a CHANCE to beat Fedor was AA and Barnett. He KOed AA with one shot. AA was out cold before he even hit the ground.


    I don't give Lesnar much of a chance. He's not going to beat Fedor anytime soon. He's strong but that's it. Fedor has WAY better striking, submission, and Ground and Pound. Lesnar won't be able to do anything to Fedor. If I was Lesnar, I wouldn't want this fight... Not yet at least.


    Now the question is... Who's next? Barnett? What happens after he beats Barnett (if he does)? FEDOR is a bad dude...

    About 3 minutes. It still cracks me up that Arlovski got knocked out in mid-air.

    Lesnar is gaining more skill and experience as time goes on. He has the physical tools to beat Fedor. If Lesnar can avoid making any silly mistakes I could see a very competitive fight.

    If so he better be working at it all the time. His striking is no wear near Fedor. His punches aren't crisp and his technique isn't great. He's strong with great athleticism but that's about it.

    I'm a HUGE Brock fan too.. But I don't see how he'd win. I'd imagine he takes Fedor down (highly possible) but I don't see what he could do. His G&P isn't great... Fedor would probably either reverse him/scramble or sub him off his back (highly possible).

    Brock need to work on his striking, G&P, and Submission defense if hes going to be anywhere near Fedor.

    Arlovski looks like a bum that's sleeping next to a building downtown every time he gets knocked out with that damn grizzly beard of his.

    Brock would get destroyed by Fedor. NO question. Brock has the physical tools and some talent, but Fedor is on another level. That dude seems to be able to do it all.

    Until the end of the Couture fight, Randy looked to be holding his own for the most part. Take into account that at some point age catches up and he'd had a year off. Brock looked good in that one, but not good enough to challenge the best.

    Shouldn't Lesnar at least beat Frank Mir before he is even in the conversation about fighting Fedor ?

    Good point. If he does, he should sneak into the conversation. Lesnar is physically there.
