The athletic commissions are strict he'd be suspended and hated more than he is for his antics. So I doubt he's juice'n as well. I don't like him and would love to see Lesnar lose but he'd would end Fedors reign for sure.

100% disagree here bro.

While you cannot question Lesnar's speed and size he has HUGE holes in his game. Hell Randy Couture was getting the better end of the exchange when it came to standup against him for a little bit. If Randy could penetrate his standup game, Fedor would absolute tear him apart.

Size and speed yeah, he's an animal. Against the Last Emperor...he'd get ZULU'd

Maybe some day we can see the fight.

As far as better end of exchanges Rodgers was doing well and lost.

You really think he'd stand with Fedor.

I think he'd be forced to try as Fedor's ground game is far superior. His submissions would devastate Lesnar. And since I think Lesnar is a fairly intelligent fighter he would sense that and either be forced to stand or try the lay and pray method.

I think my overall point is that while Lesnar is good and has earned my respect, he's not on the same level.

I would have to disagree with you here. I've watched this fight about a dozen times and Fedor gave him rubber legs several times and of course, the big KO. Rodgers never phased Fedor and only landed about 7 clean shots and half of those were on the ground. That first jab Rogers landed looked more than it was because it opened a previous cut Fedor sustained while sparring with his brother during training a month ago.

I think Lesnar would try to take him to the ground. That is where he feels most comfortable being a wresting champion. Every fighter that Lesnar has fought has had a superior ground game and he took them down and smothered them. Granted, I think Fedor would be just fine if that happened but I don't see Lesnar trying to stand with him. I do agree with Dustin, Fedor is just on a different level.....than everyone.

Thought the fights were pretty good. Some how 2 seconds can mean everything and it was the difference in Miller getting a W or L. Shields had a dominate ground control but Miller was never in danger. | Rogers gained some respect from during the fight and lost 10 fold after. I was surprised to see him active on the ground and able to stand up and I was disgusted at his post fight arrogance & stupidity.

Don't forget your talking about a gut with virtually no experience doing "well" against the "Last Emperor".

All I'm saying is put him in there against a top 5 HW that's all.

If you call being being knocked and thrown around, getting 3 sub attempts and two takedowns on him and being KO'd "well", ok. Rogers did have good control against the fence but that's it.

Fedor dominated him and has nothing to prove to anyone. At the time they fought both Arlovski and Big Timmy were top 5.

Top 5? Oh, no! Brett Rogers looked great compared to....Brett Rogers from a few months ago. What makes him dangerous is his puching power, thats all he has. It humurous that Fedor was able to out wrestle him and throw him around.

He showed vast improvement. I definately think if he stays training full time he will be top 10 soon. They called out Overeem, I think they may be bitting off a little more than he can chew, again. But Alistair has disapointed in the past, so...

Fedor is 33. How much longer do you think he will keep fighting?

That's a great question. He has said he will fight till he no longer enjoys the competition. Who knows? Whenever that is, I hope he doesn't end up like CroCop.

Top 15 as of October:

1 Fedor Emelianenko
2 Brock Lesnar
3 Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira
4 Frank Mir
5 Josh Barnett
6 Shane Carwin
7 Junior dos Santos
8 Brett Rogers
9 Randy Couture
10 Andrei Arlovski
11 Alistair Overeem
11 Cain Velasquez
13 Fabricio Werdum
14 Jeff Monson
15 Gabriel Gonzaga

Mir is a joke being that high, imo. Fedor dominated NOG and was supposed to fight Barnett until Barnett got caught juicing. He is going to face Werdum next. If he wins, he will fight Overeem for the title. That will be the 3 fights on his current contract. After that, who knows. Maybe Dana will get his head out of his arse and promote the biggest fight in MMA history. I kinda doubt it.

If Rogers thinks he is going to get Overeem next, he is dreaming. You don't lose and get a shot at the Champ.

HA! I know. Did you listen to that post fight blah, blah, blah he puked? " If he (Fedor) wants a rematch, I'll give it to him."

WHAT? Brett - Homie- you lost. Not Fedor.

You should read this article. While Dana may be boneheaded on some things, giving up 50% stake in a company is not an option.
