Maybe Josh Barnett.He's pretty well rounded and a feud between him and Fedor has been kind of building up recently.

Im Telling You.. Whoever Wins Out Of Wand Or Cro Cop Will Beat Fedor...and Since Chuck And Wand Is Most Likely Off... I Hope Wand Smashes That Fool!!

i dont think anyone will take him for a while. But the only one who will get closest to beating him will be mirko... his take down defence is getting better with every fight. fedor will still take him down but in there first match he didnt really sustain any real damage. his guard is good. stand up they will be even. He just cant gas like he did in the first..

Whomever said to let Arlovski get back into a groove then maybe him I agree with. I don't want anyone flipping out I don't think Arlovski (along with anyone else) could beat him right now, not Wand, not CroCop, no one. But if AA can get back on track, he's young, I think he's only 27 (i didn't feel like looking it up). I think that with his great striking and Sambo expertise that he would at least have an outside shot down the road, if he keeps improving.

Tim Sylvia I think would be an interesting matchup, I think he might be able to keep Fedor at bay for a little while, not forever, but for a while. The eventual outcome would be Fedor beating him, but I think Tim could fend him off for a while... That was tough to type, my dislike for Sylvia is well documented.

Well on down the road maybe Aleksander could beat him.When they were both in the OWGP they said they'd fight each other if matched up against each other so I think it would be possible.They're very similar ,but Aleksander would have a size advantage so maybe he'd have a chance.Also Sylvia might be able to fend Fedor off for awhile ,but I think eventually Fedor's speed would catch up with Tim.

I also think that Jason Thacker could beat Fedor.Fedor would certainly be intimidated by the monster that Thacker is and I think that would give him a huge advantage.

as much as i am bias towards tim slyvia because i hate him i still dont think he would stand a chance with fedor

[the ruler]

Josh Barnett is the guy I'd pick to dethrown the champ ....I really wanna say Big Nog cuz hes my favoraite fighter, I think if Nog came out hard he might be able to take Fedor..Antonio Silva might give him a go or Edson Draggo could get that punchers chance he has dangerous power ....A side from that I bet theirs a journey man out their thats beenin greatly over looked ......I bet werdium would give him a descent shot too...I don't think its out of the question for shogun to catch him with a knee or a hook and Wandy also ....

But after saying all that at this moment I don't think Fedors beatable , the fact is hes the hw champ who is really yet to be beaten (i know cut tk stoppage ) he kind of has a unbeatable mystik about him and that alone can play a heavy factor on the outcome as it can be intimidating ....I think the main problem with fighters fighting him is that they are afraid go all out and make mistakes and lose their shot against him .....It'll either take a fighter with nothin to prove or someone who can out control him on the ground or a freak injury on Fedors part . Aisde from that only one word Rickson ....lol

From what I have seen of Fedor's fights, it seems to me it will be a lucky punch or kick that dazes him and he gets taken down. I do not think it will be a "skilled" strike so much as a "lucky, skilled" strike.

As for hestating on knocking the crap out of his brother, come on, get real. Machines don't have feelings! Besides, as far as I can tell, the old Soviet Union cloned these two monsters during the cold war as superior fighters. The only emotions I can imagine these two having are hungry, angry, and horny. May God have mercy on your soul if you fight one of these guys on a night when he is angry AND horny.
