Fedor vs. Werdum set for April on CBS

[gracie bjj]

i know its different orginizations but imo brock and carwin are the only guys that have the style to dethrone fedor, imo to beat fedor a guy needs to be a great wrestler with a good knowledge of submission defense and have some quick and powerful hands, oh yeah, a decent chin wouldnt hurt either. brock and carwin seem to fit that mold for the most part imo, i was gonna say cain also before but cains punching power aint where it needs to be for a hw imo. brock or carwin can put you to sleep with one shot where cain hasnt shown that ability yet, dont get me wrong,werdum is a worthy opponant as well as afew of the other hw's also but im just stating who id like to see clash with fedor

[MindSpin]

most people agree with you gracie bjj, but unfortunately we're not likely to see Fedor fight any of the top ten ranked heavyweights anytime soon.

Question for you - have you done any bjj tournaments?  Now that I have a good/convenient place to train, I've been focusing more on my BJJ and I would like to compete sometime this year...

[MindSpin]

not to mention mindspin is so conveniently leaving out Tim Sylvia,Andrei arlvoski,& Brett rogers which are three guys that could come in and clear out 90% of the UFC heavys by themselves....then throw in fedor and overeem and they would clear out the rest.....

I'm not conveniently leaving those guys out Tim, Andre AND Nog are past their prime and not the fighters they once were.  Actually, I never thought much of Andre or Tim even when they were in the UFC.  Neither one of them could get past the lower tier fighters in the UFC today.  Brett Rogers?  Have you seen his record?  Other than catching a washed up Arlovski, he has not fought anyone.  The guy has never been tested.

same could be said for carwin....yet he gets his props....

we will have to agree to disagree....besides I'm an MMA fan not a UFC or stikeforce fan....you obviously have an unhealthy obsession for all things UFC to the point were you come off quite immature and unable to look at things from an unbiased point of view....

[MindSpin]

I beg to differ.  I too am an MMA fan and watch nearly all events regardless of the org.  However, as I've said before, I am a proponent of having one dominant organization, so that we can avoid the same pitfalls boxing fell into.  I want undisputed champions and uniform rules.  Whether it's the UFC, Strikeforce or some other org doesn't matter.

What you all seem to forget is that when Spin signed his UFC gym contract he is held to place Danas' / UFCs' balls in his mouth and no other organization/male is allowed to grace his chin. (while under contract)

Not only that but he seems to have an extremely over the top unhealthy obsession with all things Fedor....Look at his post history Fedor dominates his mind & sole....I mean damn...seriously...Fedor would have to personally do something negative to me or my family to show him even half as much hate & attention as spin shows him on a daily basis...I mean I love MMA but at the end of a day it's just entertainment & a sport....It's not that serious....

I can't speak for Mindspin, but Fedor is a sore subject for TRUE MMA fans. It is very frustrating to see a #1 ranked HW not fight the most entertaining match-ups. Like you said...MMA is entertainment first and foremost. Even though talent may or may not be better in Strikeforce, who wouldn't want to see Fedor smash OR get destroyed by the top HW's in the UFC?

  Yeah, and Brock has been tested by a tomato can and an old man past his prime who is 40 lbs lighter than him. Get real. At least Rogers is a genuine 270 lbs and won all of his previous 10 fights before the one with Fedor by KO, including a KO over a guy who was once the number 2 in the UFC - go watch UFC 62 when he fought Sylvia, who was the champ, for the heavyweight title. So Fedor has beat both number 1 and 2 in the UFC heavyweight division and also the guy who knocked out number 2.

Regarding Overeem, I don't know how he passes drug tests. Have you seen him lately?
