Fedor would lose MAJOR credibility as a fighter, especially when Nog and Randy beat him.
If Fedor wins (which he will) this will be what.........the gazillionth UFC champion he has defeated?
Let's see...
He's beaten Goodridge, Coleman x 2, Randleman, and Nog x 2.
All he would need to do is beat Ricco, Couture, and Barnett to have beat all other UFC HW champions I can think of. Oh wait, and Arlovski.

fedor wouldn't lose ANY credibility in my book. the only people screaming he was overrated are the haters and fair weather fans. i think someone once posted something along the lines "even if he never wins another fight in his life, his martial arts career has been one of great success" about bj penn. same thing applies to fedor... sambo champion, last rings champion and undefeated pride champion for many years is more than any other fighter has achieved.
as far as the fight goes, i could see tim winning this. fedor hasn't looked the same since his beating of mirko, i think his cardio is not where it should be. and we know for a fact he bleeds like a stuck pig when he gets anything more than bitchslapped. the longer this fight goes, the better for tim.
it would surprise me quite a bit if fedor came out and mopped the floor with tim. but then again he's had quite a few fights where many predicted he'd finally lose and he always came out on top.
