Again, I dont think anyone can beat fedor at this point. For years I was bitter that the UFC would go out of there way to avoid the mention of his name. Once in a while rogan would let it slip, and no one would make a comment. I am happy to see fedor has made it center stage where he belongs. Brock continues to get better, and has a huge genetic advantage over any other heavy weight. Rany is not the same fighter josh beat in 2002. I think Rany is better than ever, his stand up continues to get better and his ground game is solid. I would not place Josh in the top 4 heavy weights at this point. We will need to agree to disagree about Josh. I agree he is the real deal, but more at the level of Mir or Nog. Yes Mir beat Brock with a lucky heel hook, but he took a serious beating up to that point. I dont think brock will make the same mistake again. Most of joshes recent wins have been aginst average fighters, like monson, rizzo and yoshida. As far as CroCop, I really thought he was going to do much better than he did when he came over to the UFC. I am certainly no noob, I have followed the sport for most of my life. I realize who would have the best shot against fedor is just a guess at this point. But who ever he fights next, I will be watching.
Anyone Doubt Fedor Now?

....
I would like to see Fedor versus Brock. Brock looks hungry... another year or so and... No being able to take your opponent down in this game CAN limit your ability to be in control of the fight in every aspect needed... Brock can take Fedor down.
I will go out on a limb and say Brock will win. Fedor does have the strength in submissions to sub him and has the experience too. Going out on another limb(lol), I think Brock would threw Fedor around like a Rag Doll. That is a BOLD statement. I know no one has done it yet but... This could be the guy.

By going out on two limbs you have no legs to stand on...=)
Just kidding, I am not sure if we see that fight until/unless affliction goes under.
I have been hearing rumors that Overeem wants a piece of Brock.
I am not sure what to make of that as this moment.
Overeem could turtle if Brock got him on his back, however
on the other side he could knock out Brock...

He seemed not to check leg kicks too well, i have seen other fighters chop opponents down like a tree.......don't think anyone can last taking repeated kicks to the leg for very long.
Exposed weakness? Hmmm......

Randy doesnt stand a chance with Fedor, Mir will lose to Brock this time, I almost think Fedor didnt want to end the fight so fast with Arlovski, Brock would be a good match, but I lean towards Fedor on that one. Just some rambling comments.

I'm going to have to disagree with the guys that say Randy couldn't do it. He would have won his last fight against Brock but Brock grabbed the fence three times when Randy picked him up with a high crotch. That old man who doesn't have any fight left picked up a guy that wieghs 40 pounds more then him. It would have been a completely diffrent fight if Brock got put on his back. I think Mir will have another repeat of that same ankle lock. Brock can't defend jiu jitsu because he refuses to learn any. As far as Tito he is like Mr. Potato head nothing but head. I thought Arlovski would have lasted longer but Fedor is the man.
I was very impressed with Randy in that fight. It was sureal to see a Randy pressuring a guy of 270+ pounds of solid muscle. Pound for pound I think randy is hands down a better fighter than brock, unfortunatly brock has like 60 pounds on him to close the gap. I think Randy is better now than he ever was and he continues to get better.

You know, you never hear too much about Fedor, as far as his training camp, social life, or anything else for that matter. I think that is a big edge for him. He is focused on fighting and winning. He doesn't train in the states, doesn't go out and go crazy partying at the after party's after he wins fight's. It seems like he gets to the ring, punches his time card, and goes to work. When he wins he shows no emotions, he just gets up, maybe he smiles and raises his arm to the crowd, punches out and goes home. The guy is simply amazing, he lures you into a false sense of security and then goes in for the kill after he has had enough of you. I am not sure who would be a formidible opponent for him at this point. Not that it would ever happen, but Mir might be good, it seems that he greatly improved his standup and he is fantastic on the ground. From what I've seen on line, Barnet will be next in line. Neither of them, (Fedor or Barnet) is happy about it because they are friends. Should be interesting none the less...
Fedor is amazing. I hope he continues his glorious winning ways.
