    Lets do some hypothetics here for a bit, just for fun. Pretend for a second that Lesnar does indeed beat Couture tomorrow night, which can be likely because of his strength,size, speed and wrestling ability. Then he turns around beats Big Nog afterwards to be the unquestioned UFC Heavyweight champion. Do you think the UFC would try to pursue a Lesnar/Fedor fight somehow?

    And if by some chance they did manage to get this fight done, do you think the wrestling ability of Lesnar could make it a difficult matchup for Fedor?

    Again, I know this is all hypothetics, and we have to see how he can do against Couture first. I just thought maybe it could be fun to think longterm, and what this could be like.

    I think the only way Fedor fights anyone in the UFC is if he signs with the UFC. No copromotion or anything like that. Sign a exclusive deal or not happening.

    As far as the fight goes... I have Fedor easily taking it. I have Fedor easily taking it against anyone. No one has shown me anything that says otherwise. I would say the best chance right now is Arlovski. But I actually think the Randy fight is stupid. I think randy is over rated and I don't think he would have a chance against Fedor.

    I don't think anybody but us (the MMA truthers) care about Fedor. In five fights Brock would've had wins over Big Nog, Couture, and Herring. That is all the validation he requires.

    IMO Fedor's legacy is being hurt by his horrible handlers who should aren't worried about his legacy but making as much money of him as he can.

    UFC haters agree with this approach, but it's not good IMO for an MMA fan.

    If Fedor detroys Arlovski and Barnett, I don't think anyone will think anyone can beat Fedor and he will be the #1 P4P fighter in the world.

    Problem is, I think it'll take 2 years to get these 2 fights done at the rate Fedor fights and Affliction has events...

    Tough to say cause we've never actually seen Brock take a punch and if he fights Fedor hes definately gonna get hit. But Brocks agility and ability to take people down and keep them down is no joke so if can take him down then maybe. Then again he'd probably get arm barred or triangled or something like that. Realistically I don't think he'd win againist Fedor.

    Right now, Brock is pretty much a bigger, stronger Kevin Randelman. That isn't *bad*, but it isn't enough against a guy like Fedor. It's just too bad he didn't begin MMA training straight out of college. All those years he wasted on pro wrasslin and football may keep him from ever reaching his full potential.

    I wouldn't put it past Brock to land a lucky shot. He is so powerful and strong.

    yeah but Fedor has been hit with a solid lucky shot before and still recovered and subbed his oppenent soon afterwards regardless of how rocked he was.

    dude is on another level.

    No such thing as a lucky shot, unless by that you mean he shuts his eyes and whips around a crazy overhand right.
