As for comments regarding his cardio. I have two guarantees:

1) Fedor will be in better shape than Tim.
2) It won't matter, because this fight isn't seeing round 2.


How is HMC such a freak show on sherdog? Tim has slightly better ground game, but is nowhere near as dangerous standing.

HMC gets called a freak show too often here, I agree. That being said, he was not a huge challenge for Fedor.

I really really really really hope it happens. But I wouldn't hold my breathe.
I don't think this fight will happen.....like you, I hope it does.....but something always seems to get in the way lately to stop Fedor from fighting....I don't think we will ever see this fight....

It also gives Fedor more exposure in the US, which can only be a good thing.
MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY, PLUS I DONT THINK TIMMY IS WELL ROUNDED ENOUGH TO WIN, WHEN HE ENDS UP ON HIS BACK WITH FEDOR ON TOP, TIM WILL BE A FISH OUT OF WATER. THE THREE FIGHTERS YOU MENTIONED ALL HAVE THE SKILL SETS NEEDED TO HANG WITH FEDOR. I THINK ITLL BE A GOOD FIGHT BUT ULTIMATELY I SEE FEDOR TAKING THIS WITHOUT MUCH DOUBT

I'll go with Fedor. But I think big Tim's got a chance here. A solid punch could KO Fedor I believe. I don't think this figth is gonna be boring!

WAR MMA!

Half a year ago, I would have been rooting for Fedor without a doubt. Now, after the Nog-Sylvia fight, I actually kinda like Tim.

Definitely rooting for Fedor; however, this fight will not be easy.

I've met Tim so I guess I'll root for him. This said -- and I'm praying this fight does happen -- I'm saying Fedor has a 70% chance of getting the W.

Rooting for Timmah; If he beats Fedor than we get to see Fedor fight more because his stock would fall far enough for him to quit thinking he shits golden nuggets and will start just fighting.
