I think they should do the Henderson thing and bring him right into to unify the belts with Couture or Gonzaga.
I want to see Fedor's brother versus Arvloski.

Unification would be a great way to go with fedor but would that mean throwing away their foothold in that area with pride?

Or Sylvia. Both would be fun. They should bring Zentsov too. Zentsov-Cabbage.

I saw Fedor's brother get his ass kicked by Cro Cop. It was really quite exhilirating, actually. I think it's because he looks like such a douchebag.

I'd be down with that as well. In fact, I think Big Tim versus Aleks is now a match I want to see more.

From what i gathered, they said there will be no "show off" matches for Fedor, he's going straight for top fighters or champion.

Probably a byproduct of God knows how many million they had to pay him.

MMA is much like wrestling. They don't get the mega-bucks that boxers make, even though they generate a lot of money. I highly doubt that Fedor got millions.

Fedor got 3 million for his fight with Lindland.
I think he got about 1 million for his big fights in PRIDE.
He's the best Heavyweight in the world so he deserves every penny.
I hope he fights Sylvia as Sylvia did say he wanted to fight Fedor ("Bring on Fedor!")
Then onto Gonzaga/Couture.......and domination of the UFC.

Sylvia: "Yea I've met Fedor. He's a scrawny little shit."

He just made 1.5 million plus another 1.5 for winning against Lindland in BoDog. UFC had to beat that.

Speaking of that fight, I think Lindland probably beats Fedor if the match is in a cage or Fedor does not illegally grab the ropes when Lindland goes for the takedown. Fedor was already bloody and Lindland's a world class wrestler.

Yes without those ropes Fedor cleary is out of his element and would be submitted if not GNP'd by lindlund, his wresting is world class.:verysad

Have any of you actually seen the fight? Do you see how Fedor grabs the ropes and is able to land on top of Lindland because of it. It would have been a totally different story had Fedor not resorted to that illegal tactic. I'm sorry, I know that you guys think that Fedor is God, but he can lose too.

Fedor can lose - but not to Matt Lindland.
That would be absurd.

Seriously, its gettin on my nerves that people speak before taking a good look at the replays... He grabbed ONCE, after that you could see his hand dangling and was just RESTING on top of the ropes. It also happens to be usually not intentional(the first time). After ref told him not to do that he was caunsious of it and didnt do it again.
"Insert what iron duke said here"
QFT.

Bullshit, dude. The ref told Fedor to "let go of the ropes" no less than eight, count 'em, eight times. And if you can't see Fedor grabbing the ropes at the critical point of the takedown, thus causing a reversal, you are either blind or Fedor himself. Lindland was prepared to do Fedor in and he's not even a real heavyweight. Try watching the bout with a non-biased eye next time.

Don't mind Ajax, he's a dumbass.

It is, but Fedor's been in with Coleman twice and Randleman and did well with them so I was suggesting he could handle Lindlund as well.

If you're going to use a cliche at least know it's correct order. It's actually the pot calling the kettle black. Since you're so keen on cliches, I guess I'll leave you with one. It's better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
P.S. Nice way to prove my previous post. :good
I'm glad I removed all dout :smooch

I'm sorry, I know that you guys think that Fedor is God, but he can lose too.Of course he can the probem with your argument is that he has NEVER LOST.He has only 1 loss on a cut that was avenged.Lindland as good a wrestler as he is IS NOT going to beat Fedor.
