I just read that they are trying to set up Kyle/Mousasi for the February card as well.

Barnett should beat Rogers. I don't know who wins between Arlovski and Sergei. Barnett has a good chance of beating either one of them. Hopefully Fedor beats Silva. Don't forget the size difference and the fact that Silva is pretty decent. If he can take Fedor down he might be able to pound him out. I am sure he can defend subs well enough, he is a black belt. Whatever happens, I hope Overeem wins. I know he would crush Giant Silva and I think he would crush Fedor. I would bet both pretty hard.

I don't see what advantages you think Fedor holds. Honestly I think he gets crushed or he lands a lucky punch.

After seeing the way Silva got dropped by Kyle, I can see Fedor Knocking him out early.

[poopoo333]

Yeah I am concerned Bigfoot will use his size and keep Fedor up against the cage/get takedowns and stay there

[edman5555]

It can go either way.

I'm reading that everytime the title is on the line its going to be a 5 round fight ,the rest will be 3 round fights . I guess thats how it should be but it justs seems odd to me some fights are 3 rounds and some are 5 .

Fedor will whup Bigfoot easily. Bigfoot's bjj is not good enough to stop Fedor. Even though Bigfoot is pretty big, he isn't really any bigger than Werdum. Actually, when they fought, Werdum looked like the bigger of the two to me.

I can't believe how quickly people are changing their tune on Fedor. Last year, he was totally unstoppable and Werdum had no chance. He damn near finished Werdum in 30 seconds, ends up making a tactical mistake by not respecting Werdum's guard, and now he might lose to Bigfoot? GTFO, Fedor is and should be the favorite in the tournament. He can beat Overeem in a number of ways... by just outlasting the initial onslaught the fight changes dramatically. I wouldn't be surprised to see Fedor knock Overeem out either. Or take him down and wail on him, or even submit him. I never thought Fedor was invincible, but I don't sell him short either. He is the greatest MMA fighter of all time, and he lost to a legit opponent who he dropped seconds into the fight.

Truth.

I still think fedor is one of the best, I was just throwing out possible ways he may lose. I think fedor will be -450 or worse.

[edman5555]

I don't see how Fedor holds advantages on Reem. Oreem probably has about 40 pounds of muscle on Fedor. He is huge compared to Fedor. His striking is better than Fedors. It has to be at this point. He is the K1 grand prix champ. Grappling is hard to call. Let's say Fedor is better than Reem. How much of that is negated by the fact that Reem is so much stronger than him. He can power out of some sub attempts that most people wouldnt be able to. Wrestling....Fedor will have trouble getting Reem down just because he is so god damn big and strong. He tossed Brett Rogers around like he was a little girl. Brett GNP'd Fedor.

Fedor is the man but the days of one dimensional fighters is over and those are the guys Fedor excelled at beating.

[poopoo333]

^^Did you not see Fedor basically throwing Rogers to the floor as well?

[edman5555]

i dont remember that
