Jon much taller, hard to hit, hard to grapple succesfully. Would be a tough out for Fedor. Prime Fedor probably weighed around the same/slightly more than Jon after rehydrating Question is how ould Jon react to getting cracked by one of Fedor's hard to read and fast looping punches. Fast enough to catch LHW but hard enough to KO HW.

Been going back and forth about this. No pride rules is a disadvantage for Fedor and prime bones was methodical and great at distance control, also some unorthodox tools like the oblique kicks. Fedor had fast hands and great recovery but Jon would probably pick him apart like he did the rest during his run. I'll go with Johnny

I hate Jones because he hates on other successful black fighters, but he would mount and destroy Fedor. Two very different eras and Fedor’s most competitive fights were with other fairly agile, quick fighters.

I voted Jones but I could just be biased. It might be a push. I have to admit I barely watched Fedor's career.

Different weight classes, but I'll still say Bones easily. Would have picked him apart then blood bash ground and pound.

Bones' era of fighters are far more well-rounded.
