Weird, I just talked with Guy Mezger about him the other day. He said something about a meeting with Fedor but didn't know what he was talking about.

Say what you want but I would love to see Fedor in the UFC. I have a feeling he would do well, at least for a couple of fights. I would take him vs. Werdum right now.

"the bunker"
I suspect he`d go to bellator.....he has prior connections with coker...I doubt that fedor would mesh well with a tyrant like white(you`d think a guy with fedor`s gravitas would want to call the shots)....

I'm very serious. If the fight was set up this week and the line came out I would play Fedor. I know he won the first fight but Fedor wasn't himself and in all reality he dominated Werdum. He just got stupid or the fix was in and went into Werdums guard. If he keeps the fight standing then it wouldn't have been close. Fedor was doing that with everyone though. He wanted to beat them where they were the strongest and it caught up with him. If it was any other HW I might be a little hesitant because I would worry about Fedors chin but not with Werdum.

IMO Werdum is the weakest champ in the UFC.

I was at that Fedor/Werdum fight. The speed difference was insane. Fedor made a stupid mistake. I still can't believe he lost that fight even years later. Greatest HW ever.

I agree. That fight was so lopsided it was crazy. I'm not one to think sports are ever fixed but I still look a that one and wonder. If you look at how it happened it just doesn't make sense. Either it was fixed or Fedor had grown tired of the crap he had to deal with from the people around him.
