Dana White says Fedor Emelianenko will fight in the UFC, Brock Lesnar fight imminent

[Tailback U]

Speed + Power + Technical ability = dominance. Fedor has it all. Brock has power and is a great wrestler. Right now, the UFC really has no competition for Lesnar. Cain Velasquez is a great wrestler, but, his striking and stand-up need more work. Nogs may be the default #1 contender depending on what happens with Couture at UFC 102. All in all, there just isn't much out there for Lesnar now.

A matchup of Fedor vs Lesnar would create huge PPV numbers! However, Fedor would make quick work of Lesnar. Fedor would basically take that horse shoe that Lesnar pulled out of Mir's ass and shove it down Lesnar's throat and pull it out his asshole...and then fuck Sable for good measure.

Fedor > Lesnar

I'd love to see it though.

Here's the thing, Brock is way too big and powerful for pretty much every HW out there. His wrestling is great and he can shoot and takedown anyone. So for somebody to beat him, they are going to have to be very good on their back and very calm because it is not easy for anyone to hold guard on a 290 pound albino gorilla (stole that from someone here and love it).

I think Fedor would tap Brock because he is the greatest ever but it wouldn't surprise me if Brock was able to just overwhelm Fedor with hammerfists because he is just so fucking big and strong.

Brock has never had his jaw tested. Brock has never been hurt.

I'm not comfortable handicapping this fight until that happens.

Besides, Fedor needs to get through another pro wrestler first, Josh Barnett. Won't be easy, even for an inhuman cyborg.

Brock has no even shown great takedown ability yet, he hasnt had a competitive wrestling match in years

Mir and Heath have never, I repeat never shown an ounce of takedown defense

The only guy Brock fought that has takedown defense is Randy, Brock got stuffed in the 2nd round by Randy and couldnt hold him down in the first, also Randy would have taken Brock down besides the blantant fence grab

Also, Randy has been taken down and beaten by stronger, bigger grapplers in the past like Barnett and Ricco, plus Brock had like 50 lbs on Randy

Of course Brock has the wrestling background, but to think he has great takedowns at this point is silly, he is big and powerful, but Randy was able to fend them off and actually bully Brock into the cage when he wanted too

Since the first Mir fight, the matchmaking for Brock has been good and played on his strengths

You're probably right, I'm probably giving Brock's wrestling background too much credit, he isn't at the elite level that he once was at. c

And for some reason I can't remember much of the Couture/Lesnar fight even though I watched it.

Couture was winning that fight until he got caught.

Before anyone writes off Fedor.. you have to consider that hes pretty much not human. Legitimate human beings arent supposed to survive this kind of shit..

After watching the fight on Saturday, I cannot say anyone would definitely win over Lesnar. The same people here saying Lesnar doesn't stand a chance against Fedor were the ones who said Lesnar doesn't stand a chance to beat Mir or Coutier or to ever be a great heavyweight.

If Brock is focused and patient like against Mir, he looks absolutely amazing. I'm not saying he'd definitely win, but I think if he fights like that, Fedor might have trouble against him simply because of Brock's immense physical advantage over just about any heavyweight on the planet.

Were they really that many people saying that Lesnar "didn't stand a chance" against Mir or Couture? Picking against Lesnar is not the same as saying he "can't win". I don't think you have to watch much MMA to realize that there's no such thing as "no chance".

Its entirely possible that Lesnar's size and explosiveness gives Fedor problems. The biggest issue that I see is that Lesnar has yet to prove he's complete as a fighter. How strong is his chin? How is he from the bottom? Has he learned submission defense yet? There are questions. But we know things for sure about Fedor... Fedor has fought guys as big - and bigger - than Lesnar. But Lesnar has never faced someone with the diverse skills and lack of notable weaknesses as the Russian...
