Fedor vs Spider

I disagree somewhat. Gracie BJJ is still very much a part of MMA and definitely worthy of todays fighters. I guess my point on the match-up was that Lyoto tends to frustrate his opponents by "running" around the ring. Goes in just enough to get ahead on points, but doesn't kill himself. He's a smart fighter. That forces fighters knowing they are behind to go at him with reckless abandon. That's when he tags them with a good kick, punch, or what have you. Gracie has great patience and I am wondering if that, along with his good chin, and lethal ground game... would it be enough to beat him. I feel like Lyoto may actually wind up the chaser in this one. I mean come on, Tito almost subbed him and Tito isn't exactly a submission specialist, unless beating someone into submission counts. I may be wrong, but that's my opinion. Lyoto may light him up, who knows?
