bjornmma1 Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Bas Rutten just said on his FB that Fedor signed for the UFC. Man, I really hope this is true. And I would love to see him at LHW. Would be good for the LHW division, the UFC and Fedor! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stpierrecanada Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Please please please.. And I really want him to stay at HW the way the UFC HW division looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shockg Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 God if this was 2005... If it's true though. WAR FEDOR! Even if it's just the check and he loses. He deserves the cash or the glory or both! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentor Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 God if this was 2005... With how crap the 265lbs division is, i am pretty sure he could do well even now 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce7 Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 And thus brings us back to our discussion a month or two ago; Fedor probably stands a chance against most of the heavyweights that are not in the top 4 (JDS, Velasquez, Werdum, Miocic).

bjornmma1 Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 And thus brings us back to our discussion a month or two ago; Fedor probably stands a chance against most of the heavyweights that are not in the top 4 (JDS, Velasquez, Werdum, Miocic). At HW, realistically everyone can beat everyone, even more than in other divisions. But to be honest, some of these wins are just highly unlikely. I am a big fan of JDS, but I think Fedor can beat him. He might be able to beat velasquez as well. Miocic is a bit of a less powerfull JDS in my opinion and is beatable also for Fedor. But Werdum? No, that I doubt. Just to be clear, I would much rather see him at LHW now as there is even a bigger need for superstar there now in my opinion.

I don't want to say who can he beat, because well he has been away for a long time. We dont know his shape or mindset 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacky67 Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 I don't want to say who can he beat, because well he has been away for a long time. We dont know his shape or mindset pretty much three years is a lot, and he fight like 15-20 years previously his boddy must have lot of pain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 I would love him to face bigfoot, if he can't finish biggy than he doesn't deserve to be in the UFC. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornmma1 Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Bwah, not interested in Bigfoot. Fedor should get a bigger fight to start with. At HW vs Mir or Arlovski and at LHW vs gustaffson, AJ or Evans perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 That would be suicide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Fedor vs Mir would be good. Mir isn't exactly a massive threat these days but still dangerous enough where if you can't beat him you won't make it + it would still sell a lot for the UFC. I doubt Fedor will make serious title run, i see the UFC using him as a novelty fighter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornmma1 Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Fedor vs Mir or Arlvoski would be my go to fight. Or perhaps Overeem vs Fedor could be fun as well, but I would rather like to see him face Mir /Arlvoski if he goes to HW. But yeah, I strongly believe that he should fight at LHW. He walks around at a weight that is fine for a LHW and he would be huge for LHW. Not in height, but he is very strong and explosive. He would do more damage at LHW than at HW in the UFC in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacman Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 I would like to see a Cro Cop rematch as well as the match ups with Mir and Arlovski. Haven't been excited in the HW division since the JDS/Cain trilogy and it's with a bunch of old guys. Fedor is better suited for the LHW division but I think because of the lack of depth, talent, and youth in the HW division he should stay there where he can have more success and there are way better match ups for him there.

He would do more damage at LHW than at HW in the UFC in my opinion. I would really like to see him at LHW, but I just don't know if he has the work ethic to cut the weight. I think he matches up well with more of the guys at LHW then he does at HW. Remember guys, Fedor has already fought Bigfoot and Arlovski. Given Arlovski's position in the rankings right now I don't see that fight happening. A rematch with Bigfoot I could see because of the way their fight ended (Bigfoot TKO'd Fedor) and Fedor wanting redemption would probably sell even more.
