Thanks for the interview , you guys going to do a followup with Millen after all the big news?

I think Matt sounds very prepared and game but I don't think his style of fighting is going to match up well with Fedor. I see him on the losing end of Fedor because Fedor is better at every aspect of the game.

lindland is definitely acting pretty damn cocky, I think there are some middle weights he needs to beat before he gets his panties in a bunch. I hope fedor ends his ego

I'm pretty sure that Cruz was trying to get ahold of him to find out what was going on with the "Pride isn't being sold stuff" but I don't know if he ever got a hold of Millen.

He might end more than his ego if Linland keeps running his mouth

matt can outwrestle him; but fedor has it over him in every other tech categiory groundwork and standup...

i think matt can clinch him up and work him down..maybe even get some work in on the ground; but i don't know that he has the power to really hurt or stop fedor, an if he can't don't see how he can eff control fedor....and keep him from sweeping or subbing him from guard.

matt is strong, he would have to be to go back and forth w/rampage; but that being siad if quinton can slam or throw him..fedor will do a huge number.

now matt is tough..conditioned..physical and strong; but the same can be said for fedor, an he is a better all round fighter...

i commend matt..but i think he will lose.

Anyone have predictions? I think Matt has pretty good chances but the size difference will be the factor in this fight.
