I agree Fedor will lose but not soon...

[wanfan_ha]

feature this scenario:

fedor comes into the ufc

he has ring rust

he has no experience fighting in the octagon

he is facing fighters he's never faced before who've seen tons of tape on him and are gunning for his title as best HW fighter

he's looked okay but not perfect in his last few fights

he doesn't have ko power standing, has a tendency to get mounted by good wrestlers, is cut prone, and can be gnped from his guard with elbows

GG is a big, excellent grappler with KO power

Look - fedor is right now the best, but he's not untouchable. There are a lot of factors conspiring against his retaining his perfect record (I don't recognize the TK fight as a loss)

To say no one is good enough to beat fedor is stupid, especially given all of the upsets as of late.

I like Couture, met him a few times and won a lot of money off him at UFC 31. He actually took a picture with me after the beating he took from Rizzo yet still won the fight.
But he is not good enough to beat Fedor, no one is.
And he's not a bigger legend than saku, no one is.

Couture being able to dominate Fedor is a joke. Don't let your pride overcome the facts.

You've got to understand, and it took a while for me to admit this as a diehard Nog fan, but
FEDOR = MACHINE
He won't lose. He's untouchable.

And jokes like Gonzaga or Sylvia or whoever you people are throwing out are even funnier than Couture.

it was pretty sad when people thought BJ had a chance against hughes and din thomas. it was pretty sad when people thought serra had a chance against GSP. it was pretty sad when people thought randy had a shot against timmy.

you saying its sad shows your MMA ignorance. one of the few sure things about MMA is that nothing is for sure. i might be able to go KO fedor tomorrow. 99.999999999 percent unlikely, but still not impossible

The original post is pretty much correct. Although, Randy and Gonzaga have had some accomplishments, they are nowhere near Fedor's level.

Great Q&A with Fedor talking about fighting in UFC and being able to throw elbow:

You're comparing hughes, thomas, and gsp to Fedor? Retire from sherdog.

Seriously, what is this guy talking about? I'm so confused by this.

[texuspete00]

Yeah Gonzaga is a real fucking joke. Does Fedor finish fights against guys not named Zulu by anything but an armbar? Would he armbar GG? Maybe since Fedor has all you cock gobblers on his perm #1 status we can watch him fight nobodies. We'll start with ignoramuses posting on Sherdog.

Couture got knocked out by Chuck Leedelll twice!!!!
He will get knocked out a third time if Chuck moved to heavyweight.
