Would Fedor lose in the Octagon via cuts from elbows?

We've seen how easily he bleeds in Rings and Pride and then we saw Yves Edwards take a loss due to cuts in UFC 61 doesn't it seem likely if Fedor ever fought in the UFC this would happen to him?

if there was anyone who could get fedor to the ground and land elbows maybe, but i doubt it, considering Nog spent 85% of the time on his back and he is an elite grappler. maybe if he fought Barnett in the cage

No.

As said above that would assume someone would get him on his back and then get the the mount (or at least a dominant guard). Ain't going to happen.

It is very possible someone could get Fedor mounted against the cage, even if he defended perfectly and they could not effectively attack him I think his inexperience with elbows would be a problem. Unlike punches and knees which you can see coming, elbows are close up and even if it wasn't hurting him they'd probably cause some bleeding.

if you think Fedor would be on the recieving end of those elbows... you need to watch more MMA!

Randy would have had one of the best chances (maybe even still).. only due to getting inside and getting a clinch takedown (and then having the wrestling experience to hold Fedor down for a bit)

I'm pretty sure from the clinch, Fedor would be taking Randy down.

Coleman could maybe do it. He is big and strong, and was able to take him down, with the cage, it would have been possible for Coleman to get top position, or clinched against the cage and land a good elbow or few.

Man, in the UFC Fedor would be the one fucking everybody up with elbows. Not people cutting him with elbows.
