So who do you think is next in line to fight Fedor and get BEAT!

......and please nobody say Brock Lesner. IMO Fedor is on a whole differant level than Brock and most MMA heavyweights out there.
By the look of it Fedor will never be in the UFC so it's hard to say. I would like to see him fight the best people but the Heavyweight division doesn't seem to be that good now days. Fedor is on a completely different level then the most of the HW that I have seen, just like Silva is for the 185s. Maybe Cain Valesques after he gets a few more fights under his belt. He seems to be very determined to be the best and he is very critical of himself which most really good fighters are.
Here is one just for chuckles: BIG COUNTRY! LOL
So who do you think is next in line to fight Fedor and get BEAT!
Somebody that's not good enough to fight in the UFC.:laugh

ohh shit EXACTLY, cuz there in NOONE in UFC that can beat him, so they have to find alternative sources, hmmmmm oh the advertising of UFC, youd almost think they are the only MMA organization in the world!!!
Maybe the UFC can get Rogers over to run some tests.

I think Overeem would be a decent fight with Fedor.

I would have liked to see Barnett fight Fedor, but that ain't happening anytime soon now.
The ****ing UFC has most of the better heavyweights under contract now, but the fight I'd like to see is Fedor/Silva at a catchweight... Even though it will probably never happen.
Overeem is probably the best fight that can happen right now.
Kimbo slice anytime anywere haha.Just wait until the knee pain is going.

Seems the hype of the UFC has died down a little...not to much people talking much about it now a days...:)
The UFC is definitely getting worse and worse since it's all about the business and not about fighting any more. Dana White is slowly killing it. Even on TUF 10 you can see how he is pressuring people into fighting and hurting themselves just for the show. He doesn't care if the fighter is fighting smart as long as there is a lot of blood and someone gets hurt really badly. To their face he says "I don't want you to do what you don't want to do" but then behind their back he calls them pussies and says "I can't believe that guy doesn't want to ****ing fight". I would love to see a fighter just clock Dana once for saying some stupid shit.

Amen brother.
Dana White is a ****ing parasite. Paying guys so little that they have to fight 4 or 5 times a year just to make a decent living.
It also says a lot that Shane McMahon cashed out 50 million in WWE stock to buy into the UFC. The UFC and WWE are getting closer and closer in terms of the way their run.

the sad thing is that mma needs the ufc...strikeforce is putting together a great stable of fighters but without the ufc keeping mma in primetime, no one will end up watching strikeforce.
it's a sad reality, but most viewers STILL don't have a clue what MMA is..."my buddy is training UFC"
fedor vs big foot silva is likely next...fedor will retire UNDEFEATED (BS loss)

Retire undefeated.Fedor sucks the same way Don King and whatever fighter he was promoting and protecting did in the past.Remember how ****in' long he kept Lennox Lewis at bay from King's boy Bowe.Fedor could have come to the UFC and made plenty of cash,all he had do to do was win.He was scared.

I gotta strongly disagree with that bro.
Riddick bowe actually vacated the title instead of fighting lewis. Lewis fought everybody, check out his record on Boxrec.
If you think the 400k that Lesner gets ( hes the highest paid ) is a lot of cash..... its not. Bob Arum is guaranteeing Pachaio 25 million to fight mayweather........... fedor would not make that in a lifetime in the UFC. Mike Tyson made 400 million in the ring.
I honestly don't think fedor is scared of anything besides being ****ed in the ass by Dana White IMHO.
Dana White on the other hand is scared of doing a co-promotion with Fedors people though because that would mean people outside of Zuffa would see what their actually making.

Yeah,Bowe dropped the belt in the garbage rather than fight olympic champ Lennox.Do you think all the fighters headlining could see that kind of cash?Where is the heavyweight boxing division today?Nobody gives a **** anymore because of all the endless bs games played by the likes of Don King.Like it or not the UFC is considered the standard.Can anybody name the opponents of the last man Fedor fought?Fedor is just mucking it up,he wasn't offered small cash apparently.

Yeah, seeing as the UFC is considered the standard, and gets about the same amount of PPV buys as big boxing matches, it could afford to give out that kind of cash. But because the UFC has a monopoly on MMA like the WWE has on wrestling, either the fighters take what Dana offers or they don't fight.
The Heavyweight division in boxing is weak, but the middleweights are as good as they've ever been. It goes in cycles, always has.
The last opponent Brett Rogers fought was Arlovski, who with Tim Silvia were the top 2 UFC heavys for years.
Of those 3, Rogers was the only one that saw the second round. All of Fedors Pride fights are on youtube, he's no joke.
Lets say...... Dana offered to DOUBLE what the highest paid UFC fighter gets to Fedor. Fedor gets 800k guaranteed..... LOLOL. Meanwhile Mayweather and Pachaio are looking at 25-35 million guaranteed. And they even get to make their own endorsment deals.
I wonder if Dana offered Fedor any lube with that contract.

I also would have to disagree with you. LOOOK @ the terms of a UFC contract, no wonder Fedor wont make a deal. Good fighters are leaving cuz UFC is ran by a bunch of clowns. got this of a website i cannot recall..
Strict Contract Terms in the UFC:
(Information taken from Fedor’s January 21st, 2008 interview with Eddie Goldman on the No Holds Barred Podcast)
Automatic Contract Renewal for the World Champion - If Fedor was the current UFC World Champion when his contract ran out, his contract would be automatically renewed. That meant that as long as he remained undefeated he would be contractually obligated to stay in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Prohibited from Competing in Russian Sambo - Signing the UFC contract would also have prevented Fedor from being able to compete in Sambo, the national sport in his home country of Russia.
Unfair Rights to Name and Likeness - Many fighter contracts in the UFC require the fighter to grant the UFC permission to use their name and likeness in perpetuity. The fighter is left with almost no legal right to use their own name and image to promote themselves outside the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Even after they have resigned or been let go from the UFC. The result is that fighters make a very small percentage of merchandising revenue while they’re in the organization, and after they’ve left, Zuffa continues to earn money from their image.
A Growing Contingent of Fighters are Backing Away From the UFC
Fedor Emelianenko is not the only high-profile mixed martial artist to be disenchanted with the way that the UFC treats its fighters. Other notable MMA personalities who have publicly voiced their opposition to the business and management practices of Zuffa and the UFC are:
Frank Shamrock
Randy Couture
Matt Lindland
Tim Sylvia
Don Frye
Tank Abbott
Big John McCarthy

I will agree the rights to image are concerning..are you sure about perpetuity?Fitch got a slap about that,dark matches all of a sudden but he has not gone away.It's America,anybody that doesn't like it can start up their own outfit,right?
I agree that the UFC has the monopoly over MMA and they are at the top of the game. To be the best you have to a UFC champ. Dana and Fertita's are business men and that's what they care about. The less money to the fighters the more to them and they will do anything possible for that to happen. The way MMA is now days in order to make any decent money you have to fight for the UFC and you have to deal with Dana. Many have tried to go around it but at the end they all come back since there really isn't much else for them out there. It's sad but true. Once Strikefore, Bodog, elite and all the other little organizations become bigger and more popular and can afford to pay their fighters more the UFC will have to step up as well. However, I don't see that happening any time soon.
Do you guys remember when Chuck Liddell fought in the Pride championship and Dana put up a $250k bet on Chuck to win? That was back in 03-04 and the UFC wasn’t nearly as big then. To be able to throw money like that back then I can just imagine the money they are raking in now. Fighters were making peanuts until they brought in Crocop and paid him $350k.

it's very hard to take anyone seriously who actually said "fedor sucks" or acts as if the UFC is the be all and end all of MMA.
I hate to break it to you cog, but fedor would dummy everyone in the UFC...just because they are hyped more doesn't mean they are better.
Fedor has beaten the best already, and has submitted guys as big as Brock...
Just because lesnar beat "the natural light heavy" and Frank "I was back to being a nobody 2 fights ago" Mir doesn't mean he could beat the greatest heavyweight of all time.
Who in the UFC can claim multiple victories over Big Nog, Arona, and Cro Cop in his hay day? Before you say "cro cop sucks" please go watch his pride fights...if he sucked, UFC wouldn't have been so horny to bring him in...he's lost what he once had, but when he fought Fedor, he was #2 in the world!
The UFC's flavour of the month Heavyweights will always get more respect than they deserve, and Fedor will never get enough because of Dana White's dumbass mouth...it's a shame.

I'm glad you mentioned Arona,Chunk.Can you say with a straight face that the judges calling it a draw at first was a good decision?Arona DOMINATED Fedor.Arona is 5'11,200 lbs,he has lost to Rampage,Rua,Sokoudjou,and Silva.

unfortunately right now dana and the ufc are the ones running the show when it comes to mma. No other organizations can afford to pay fighters what dana does, and the ufc pays alot compared to the shows these guys were fighting in before they made it to the ufc. I think most of them are pretty happy with the chance to make a name for themselves and be able to make enough money to live doing what they love, its either ufc or bounce around from show to show trying to scrape up paychecks. And as for Fedor, i think everyone wishes he was in the ufc fighting the best names... his pride days were amazing but lately he has fought ufc has beens or just plain nobodys... i agree with overeem being the best match for him, especially since he put on a few pounds... overeem is a great striker and a big strong grapeller as well... i think fedor is not in the ufc because he is scared to give up the rights to his name... dana doe love to own his fighters and play god. Fedor also ove sambo and would never give up being able to compete in that. As for brock and fedor..fedor would destoy him.

Fedor is the best P4P fighter in the world
-Randy Couture, UFC HW Champion
Fedor is the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world aside from BJ Penn, those 2 are the best fighters in the world.
-Rampage Jackson, UFC LHW Champion
As far as Fedor, I think that guy is the baddest mother****er on the planet, that guy's a savage. He's one of those rare HW's that's dangerous on all positions....His submissions are nasty...he can **** you up from any position.
-Joe Rogan, UFC commentator and BJJ brown belt
Fedor has no weakness! I have seen so many fights, and even the best fighters in the world have a flaw in their game but I have yet to find one in Fedor Emelianenko.
– Bas Rutten, former King of Pancrese and UFC HW Champion FSN
Probably the best ever lived….he’s a living legend right now and I don’t think there’s a man on this planet who can beat him; the man is unreal. Pound for pound the best in the world
–Diego Sanchez, hooterandgreenway radio show
"What do I think of Fedor? I think Fedor is a phenomenal fighter. He's extremely well-rounded.... And skill-wise he's probably the top guy in the world right now"
-Big John McCarthy, legendary referee
Fedor is my favorite
-BJ Penn, former UFC Welterweight Champion and BJJworld Champion, NWFS 7/9/06
Fedor is just too dominant, too good at punching people in the face. The way he punches people man he's trying to kill people, with both hands. He's in a whole different class by himself.
-Brandon Vera
NOBODY wants to fight fedor
-Wanderlei Silva, former Pride MW Champion and GP winner
Our great champion, he is the BEST in the world.
-Josh Barnett, former UFC HW Champion and adcc Champion
He hasn't really ever lost and he's pound-for-pound the best fighter.
-Jeff Monson, ADCC Submission Wrestling World Champion
He is the BEST
-Mark Coleman, former UFC HW Champion and Pride GP Champion
"...and obviously Fedor"
-Dana White, UFC President on who the best fighter is
"It's between Fedor and my wife"
-Gary Shaw, Elite XC President on who the best fighter is
The best in the world, no doubt
-Phil Baroni
Look, I’ve fought many people from around the world, so I’ve seen many strong fighters. But like him, never
-Renato Sobral
Fedor would be absolutely great in K-1
-Ernesto Hoost, 4-time K-1 World Champion
Fedor is the most incredible fighter you'll ever see
-Frank Trigg
Fedor is pound-for-pound best in the world
-Shamada (Pride referee)
The best fighter to climb into ANY areana is Emelianenko Fedor. He is in his own league and you can't compare nobody.
-Kevin Randleman, former UFC HW Champion
He is the best and undefeated... His striking game and his ground game is the best, so that's why he is the best... He is the shit
-Mark Hunt, K-1 World Champion
He’s the total package; looks can be deceiving. He’s incredibly strong, his hips are amazing, probably his best asset. Hard to hold down, hard to do anything with the guy………shit he’s just the best, that’s why he’s the best. He gets in position to throw the big bombs, he throws just as hard on the ground as he does on the feet. That’s why he’s the world Champion.
– Mark Coleman, former UFC Champion and GP winner
He’s the fastest I’ve ever seen. Much faster than Mirko. And he’s got a great reaction. Technically he may not have such a big advantage, but physically he is the fastest heavy guy in MMA history. He tries a punch, misses it, then immediately shoots again, Cro Cop for example didn’t even see them coming. He must practise that a lot, because it’s not easy to improvise that kind of thing. He is really with a good combination of styles, he can go from one art to the other, that’s what makes him different.
– Antonio Rodorigo Nogueira, former Pride Champion
He has a fast eye, good for counter-attacking. And in every fight he shows up with something new under his sleeve. Against Filipovic he used a great clinch-strike combo: he’d go for the uchi-mata, quickly following with a powerful hook.
- Pedro Rizzo
Fedor is the best P4P fighter in the world
-Randy Couture, UFC HW Champion
Fedor is the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world aside from BJ Penn, those 2 are the best fighters in the world.

–Diego Sanchez, hooterandgreenway radio show
"What do I think of Fedor? I think Fedor is a phenomenal fighter. He's extremely well-rounded.... And skill-wise he's probably the top guy in the world right now"
-Big John McCarthy, legendary referee
Fedor is my favorite
-BJ Penn, former UFC Welterweight Champion and BJJworld Champion, NWFS 7/9/06
Fedor is just too dominant, too good at punching people in the face. The way he punches people man he's trying to kill people, with both hands. He's in a whole different class by himself.
-Brandon Vera
NOBODY wants to fight fedor
-Wanderlei Silva, former Pride MW Champion and GP winner
Our great champion, he is the BEST in the world.
-Josh Barnett, former UFC HW Champion and adcc Champion
He hasn't really ever lost and he's pound-for-pound the best fighter.
-Jeff Monson, ADCC Submission Wrestling World Champion
He is the BEST
-Mark Coleman, former UFC HW Champion and Pride GP Champion
"...and obviously Fedor"
-Dana White, UFC President on who the best fighter is
"It's between Fedor and my wife"
-Gary Shaw, Elite XC President on who the best fighter is
The best in the world, no doubt
-Phil Baroni
Look, I’ve fought many people from around the world, so I’ve seen many strong fighters. But like him, never
-Renato Sobral
Fedor would be absolutely great in K-1
-Ernesto Hoost, 4-time K-1 World Champion
Fedor is the most incredible fighter you'll ever see
-Frank Trigg
Fedor is pound-for-pound best in the world
-Shamada (Pride referee)
The best fighter to climb into ANY areana is Emelianenko Fedor. He is in his own league and you can't compare nobody.
-Kevin Randleman, former UFC HW Champion
He is the best and undefeated... His striking game and his ground game is the best, so that's why he is the best... He is the shit
-Mark Hunt, K-1 World Champion
He’s the total package; looks can be deceiving. He’s incredibly strong, his hips are amazing, probably his best asset. Hard to hold down, hard to do anything with the guy………shit he’s just the best, that’s why he’s the best. He gets in position to throw the big bombs, he throws just as hard on the ground as he does on the feet. That’s why he’s the world Champion.
– Mark Coleman, former UFC Champion and GP winner
He’s the fastest I’ve ever seen. Much faster than Mirko. And he’s got a great reaction. Technically he may not have such a big advantage, but physically he is the fastest heavy guy in MMA history. He tries a punch, misses it, then immediately shoots again, Cro Cop for example didn’t even see them coming. He must practise that a lot, because it’s not easy to improvise that kind of thing. He is really with a good combination of styles, he can go from one art to the other, that’s what makes him different.
– Antonio Rodorigo Nogueira, former Pride Champion
He has a fast eye, good for counter-attacking. And in every fight he shows up with something new under his sleeve. Against Filipovic he used a great clinch-strike combo: he’d go for the uchi-mata, quickly following with a powerful hook.
- Pedro Rizzo

Nobody cared enough to ask him lol.
Everybody had their moment against Fedor.... Rogers for a second, hell Arlovski was dominating for a while...... Randleman dropped him on his head.... But all it takes is one second.

^^^ The door was basically made of cardboard. ^^^
All these great fighters lying on the floor shaking their heads. Fedor fights like Kasparov plays chess. One wrong move and game over.

Hasn't Kasparov been dodging that guy from India for a looong time?

Not sure. Kasparov retired 5 years ago. The number one ranked chess player in the world right now is a young guy from Norway named Magnus Carlsen. He's coached by Kasparov. I only know because after making the Kasparov reference I started reading about chess grand masters. I now realize the reference would have been better suited (although more obscure) to Anatoly Karpov.
The only chess player you could be thinking of is this guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viswanathan_Anand
One of only 5 people to have an Elo rating over 2800 and the only really notable chess player from India.
Anyways...Fedor kicks ass.

The UFC is definitely getting worse and worse since it's all about the business and not about fighting any more. Dana White is slowly killing it. Even on TUF 10 you can see how he is pressuring people into fighting and hurting themselves just for the show. He doesn't care if the fighter is fighting smart as long as there is a lot of blood and someone gets hurt really badly. To their face he says "I don't want you to do what you don't want to do" but then behind their back he calls them pussies and says "I can't believe that guy doesn't want to ****ing fight". I would love to see a fighter just clock Dana once for saying some stupid shit.
I think with other mma organizations coming around,it just could happen
