I always get shit for saying it but AA.
Tim has a good chance at beating Fedor. I mean if Tim can keep fedor from taking him down, its possible he could just jab out a decision.
I would like to see Werdum vs Fedor in another year or so. Maybe sooner, depending how fast his stand up improves.
Barnett has a chance.

Roger Gracie, Fabricio Werdum, and Arlovski have the best chances... in that order.
Roger can sub him today but Fedor would probably hurt him, with more training and refining of his skills he will be the biggest threat.
Werdum is similar to Roger but he isn't as good in BJJ, he does however have the size. If his standup looks good in his next fight then I say he moves to the top of the list
Arlovski has the power to put him away maybe, but Fedor is too smart and AA can't take Fedor's punches.
of course everyone has a chance, btw for the poll I voted "other"

Fedor's ground game is way better then Mir's, and with his sambo backround and Brock's horrible submission D he could probably leg lock Brock from anywhere.
dmc tim has so far come off as an idiot to me, I would like to know why he thinks Vera has the best chance to beat Fedor.

IMO
Barnett has the best chance, and is in the Top 3 HWs right now.. I think in MMA being too well rounded can be dangerous.. fighters like GSP who arent great at one area, but good at everything.. it can be bad cuz someone who is elite in one area can just dominate you in that one area.. but I think Josh Barnett has a good balance and would make it very tough for Fedor.. if Josh Barnett has a bad wrestling day.. hes developing a pretty sound boxing game and might have a chance on the feet vs Fedor.. if Barnett is having a bad striking day he can take Fedor to the ground and test his submission game.. just well-rounded enough to fight Fedor anywhere.. take Fedors best and give Fedor his best.. in the end.. Fedor will win as usual but it will be his hardest earn win to date.
AA.. would give Fedor problems on the feet but in the end.. Fedor has a better Sambo game.. can take it to the ground.. and on the feet.. AA's chin will always, always, always be his Achilles heel.
Werdum.. the more he trains with chute box, the better his striking game becomes, the worse it becomes for Fedors unbeaten streak.. cuz Werdum will be the best grappler Fedor has ever faced and is probably of only two HWs that can submit Fedor. (Emphasis the word "can" not saying he will)
Roger Gracie.. highest chance of submitting Fedor.
The rest.. no better then guys Fedor has already beaten.

Arlovski, Barnett and Sylvia.
Werdum and Couture also have a shot.
Sylvia needs to jab and make sure Fedor gets opened up real fast. I just dont want to see the fight end in that way.

-Barnett realistically looks like he may have the best chances but I think Fedor still takes him out.
-Tim will fight a very conservative approach and try to jab but its hard to stop Fedor's explosions.. I guess we'll see in July though.
-As for Werdum or Vera, I will wait till after this Saturday to make that judgement.
