It is very difficult to catch Fedor, Nogueira couldn’t do it 3 times. Randy Couture might have a 5% chance if he can get him cut or maybe go thru 5 rounds of torturing(needs tremendous stamina from 32yo and a 46 yo) and get a decision like Rampage vs Griffin. Or the Russian Mafia suddenly kidnapped Fedor’s wife and daughter and threaten him to take a fall becas the odds is going to be high and there is money to be made??
Other than that, I think “The Natural” needs to be a bit supernatural and perform some sort of miracle for the victory.
Even if Fedor was victorious, I think some people would still deny him by saying the age difference and other excuses. Truth is, He is the best I have seen and people should look at the fighter not where he is from or whether he got some fat padding on him or not. The guy is so tough even other pro fighters attend his master class around Europe to learn MMA and Sambo. Thats commitment and love for the sport for yah. One more thing Fedor dominates his weight class in any organization he is in, so other HW will move weight class or go to other organization to get a championship belt on their waist. They know they got no chance of the belt if Fedor is there. Now he just signed with Affliction in the US and everyone wants to fight the best but after a while, you’ll see. THe Maniac got it bad and soon many HW fighters will feel the same like Tim Silvia. Shameful to lost 6 months of training in just 36 seconds.People say he needs to be tested?? Who would wanna go test it out?Perhaps You or Randy Couture or maybe Brock Lesnar, Kimbo?? Jake Obrien? Gonzaga? Werdum? or Current UFC HW champ Nog??Why dont UFC hold a fight btn Nogueira and Spider silva? and the winner will fight Fedor. I know put him in a cage with three big starving polar bears, maybe that will give Fedor a test. No one wants to be a loser and when you are in a winning streak you stay away from Fedor cas if you cross path with him you will end up in the loser section. Even Dana White Took back his words on Fedor. Some of you have the guts to say Affliction has nothin but a bunch off hasbeens, Rampage , Anderson Silva, Dan Henderson, Rodrigo Nogueira, Wandelei Silva and many fighters can be considered as has beens as well, issit, cas before they went to UFC they were at Pride, warring it out..Nuff said.

Apparently nobody here read the entire article. If any noticed, his predicitions try to look at the pros and cons of both fighters. To me, you all sound like a bunch of babies who have a strange obsession with Fedor. We all know he is a phenomenal fighter. If you look at the last line, Pat picks Fedor to win?????? He mentioned there’s no reason to put money on Fedor because he was such a huge favorite and the payout is not really worth it. He did say, it’s worth putting some extra money on Sylvia in the small chance he could win (stranger things have happened in MMA). So, until you read the entire article, please calm down because you are all starting to sound stupid. Not trying to be rude….

I agree with you “HumilityDeadly” people misjudged fedor coming into this fight, i believe mostly because first, theyve never been Pride fans, secondly, all they know is the last 3 years of UFC..so they are used to high publicity of fighters such as chuck liddel, tim sylvia, etc. fighters who have been the conversation for just a short while and thats all they know. Fools like this chump who made the prediction, take after so called AMERICAN critics who bash fedor when they said “fedor hasnt fought good competions in his last three fights” well what bout the other freaking fights hes fought? top competitors? excuses excuses…ive been a pride FC fan as long as i have been a UFC fan..witness of ufc fighters fighting in pride and getting their butts kicked and then coming back to ufc because they couldnt win..because the rules are too different, because thats not their fighting style..its easier to win in UFC. and im glad fedor is smart enuf to not let DANA WHITE controll him into fighting in the ufc..im glad he whooped TIm sylvias ass outside the ufc, or else he would have embarrased every NOOB ufc fan out there.

That was really embarrassing for tim… specially when he cried at the end… shoot I would be too… all that talk and couldn’t handle Fedor for 1 minute.. Fedor came in early, close the distance, put one hand behind tim’s head to secure the distance, render tim’s long reach n jab useless… then went to work with powerful punches that brought tim to the ground! Figuring out that he is a bit wide for him so instead of wasting energy GnP, he went for the rear naked choke.. 36 seconds later…

anderson silva? he would be like cro cop. he will run in circles just to get away from fedor’s submission and striking. don’t forget that fedor can box too and has KO power.
