I have just been watching a few of fedor's old fights and he is without the most dominate fighter i have ever seen in MMA. That slam from Randleman still turns my stomach. That being said if history has shown us anything, it is that no matter how good a fighter you are, there is someone out there with a style that can beat yours. With the exception of Maricano no one has went undefeated at the highest levels of the fight game (i know fedor has one "loss" but i dont count that). So my question is who do you guys think will be the first to get a legit win of Fedor? I have thought about the options and too be honest I just dont know. But if i had to pick one guy it would be Cro Cop prolly and he has already had his shot and lost, but hey with those kicks who knows.

Cro Cop was dominated in that fight and I really don't see Cro Cop beating Fedor in a rematch. I stated this in anoher thread but I will state it again.

The thing about Fedor is that he has defeated the top ranked fighters in each of their disciplines. Take Nog who is the #2 ranked HW in the world and the #1 ranked grappler in the world, Fedor Dominated him x2. Cro Cop the best HW striker in the world of MMA and Fedor dominated him. Then Take Herring, Coleman and Randleman 3 world class wrestlers and Fedor Dominated all 3 of them via tko, armbar and kimura.

He also put on a clinic in his fight against Fujita after being stuck with a huge right hand that cut him and dazed him. Fedor regained composure about 40 seconds later after hanging on wiht everything he had and then ended the fight with one of the most impressive and devistating finishes I have seen in MMA. It was a nasty liver kick wiht the left leg followed by a huge right hand and left hand which dropped Fujita, then a rear naked choke and at the end you could see Fujita and he looked really fucked up. The doctors were attending to him for a good few minutes after the fight was over, Fujita was just layed out on the floor.

With all of that being said, the only fighter IMO that has a legit shot at possibly beating him is Barnett, he is in phenominal shape right now, certainly the best of his career as he has always had that baby fat but he is ripped now and the way he dominated Hunt was very impressive. He could cause some problems for Fedor and I picked him to win the OWGP.

However I do not think anyone at the moment will beat Fedor, certainly many fighters posess the skills needed to do so but Fedor is too intelligent of a fighter backed with his ridiculous skills, it is going to be vrey very hard for anyone to beat him unless it is a lucky punch or kick (not really lucky if they are world class fighters but crtainly some luck as his record speaks for itself and has been faced wiht such fighters time and time again so I would have to say it would be somewhat of a lucky win if anyone beats him) however if barnett beats him it would not be by luck IMO as it would not be a 1 punch or kick KO as that is not Barnetts game so if he beats Fedor via sub or GNP stoppage it would be more so validated than a flash KO.

Tim Sylvia.

Im going to have to say Jesus.

Who would win in a fight between Fedor and the Terminator.

Fedor because he is even more cyborg than the terminator.

"Who has the best chance to beat Fedor?" Prolly Fedor himself, if he starts to live to good life and neglects trainning...

If I had to pick someone it would be Silva, for two reasons:

1. IMO Fedor can't be submited, so it would have to be a great striker.

2. Fedor always puts pressure on his opponents, so fighters who like a chess match are put out of their game (like CroCop). IMO you have to apply pressure on Fedor non-stop to have a chance of beating him. Wandy can do that.


The whole size issue reminds me of Jack Johnson, how they keept trowing huge (white) guys at him in hope of geting rid of a black HW champion and tecnical fighter like JJ beat them silly. IMO same goes for Fedor, size doesn't matter, it's heart and skill that you need to beat him.

Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira even though he lost oh....2 times to him :lol:

Serious answer...

for a decent punchers chance I'd go with Crocop. No reason why he can't catch Fedor with a ko shot, but I'm not sure he'll want to try again - certainly got owned on the ground.

Interesting answer...

Aleksander.

He must know Fedor's game better than anyone, and there's also the possibility that Fedor will hesitate slightly when going for a ko or submission against his bro. For Alek, that brotherly hesitation could be nullified by the additional motivation of gaining huge respect.

Those 2 would never fight for any amount of money.

Jesus or Sampson before the hair cut, maybe King Kong, but that is a stretch
