Silva is 6'3 but he weighs around 195 he barely cuts weight.



I've met Fedor. He was about my height 6'1". He didn't seem thick or very different. I wouldn't have bat at eye at him walking down the street which makes it crazier that he's killing these giants.

I think Fedor got a little lazy with all his non stop winning for a decade. He got too cocky. We won't know until we see him in the cage again but I think that he can still beat anyone on any given day but he's not that invincible emperor that we used to see which is fine because no one is these days. Competition is better than ever.

I won't dispute that but Brett Rogers was a guy who put tires on cars when they had flats. He didn't have any discipline. Fedor seems to have s solid base and isn't afraid of getting hit. To be honest if he would have went to UFC I would like him to go against Mir. I'm not sure who in the HW in Bellator they have to bother him right now.

Mir? Sure, we can feed Fedor a can but let's give him a little more respect and feed him someone that's not completely washed up. Someone Top 10 then Top 5 then the title.

Adequate tune up for a vet that was on the wane and has been out over 24 months
Ok. But after Fedor beats Mir, we'll have learned nothing. Everyone'll just say Fedor beat up a washed up Mir. No big deal. Give him someone that's not pure garbage. Like Travis Browne, Arlovski, Hunt, or Bigfoot.

Definitely a tomato can. What relevant HW isn't with the UFC? Bellator/Scott Coker is tricky though. He'll pull some ninja shyt and get Rampage to fight Fedor or maybe get Randy out of retirement to do it. Maybe he can get Kongo. I can't think of any HW or LHW available.

if Travis beat him it would be "he beat a fedor that is 39 or whatever and hasn't fought in 2 years" . Arlovski was already beaten by him so having them be at 1-1 will only make ppl say "he only beat a rusty fedor". As for Bigfoot another win against fedor proves what? A loss places them at 1 apiece further proving post TRt Silva is absolutely worthless

LOL. No matter what, there's somethign to bytch about. I get it. Maybe I'm biased but Mir and the other no names in HW aren't a good fit for Fedor to fight. It's a waste of a legend's limited fighting time. Mir looked like hot garbage to me. I'm a Mir fan too but his last fight was gross. Anyways, Fedor is a legend and deserves at least an interesting fight.

This conversation is for nothing because it looks like he won't be fighting in the UFC in the foreseeable future and Fedor doesn't have much time left to fight being 38 years old.

So are you guys against just throwing Fedor in with the wolves? JDS, Cain, DC? I'm down to see that and I think Fedor has a better than 50% chance of winning! (I'm Pride fan-boy so I know that's optimistic)

edit: throw in Stipe in there too.
