I gotta say, I'm worried about him fighting Timmy. I really think this is a bad matchup for him. Fedor as you pointed out is best at the upper body TDs. He is good at countering others' attempts at upper body TD's as well. Tim is not going to have anything to do with that. I think he may be able to keep Fedor away and he can sprawl well. I don't want Fedor standing with Timmy the whole fight. Tim could shoot for the decision and force Fedor to make a rare mistake.

Fedor is Fedor and if he wins in stunning fashion, it will only increase my respect for him.
The upper body takedowns are the main reason im NOT concerned... a certain man over 40 year old with great upper body takedowns recently dominated Tim with them. He can sprawl shots, but he cannot defend trips.
