Even though he outpointed Tim Silvia, will he even have a chance at Fedor? or even Mirko at that matter?

Even though he outpointed Tim Silvia, will he even have a chance at Fedor? or even Mirko at that matter?
although i wouldnt pick him against those two I dont think it would be as one sided as some do
I think Fedor is better than Mirko, but I think Randy would have a better chance with Fedor. Randy can go to the ground with anyone, and Fedor would go there with him. Randy has always had a rough time with dominant strikers like Mirko though.
I think Butterbean beats em all
Randy would get eaten alive by Fedor :-X
I'm no longer sure of that. Randy is one hell of an athlete.
Fedor is an ATG, but I don't really think he's the Superman everyone makes him out to be. He's a very smart fighter, in that he gets himself in positions where things could go horribly wrong for him, yet he still wins. I don't think Fedor's stand-up would bother Couture that much, and even though Fedor has a lot of ground game, Randy's as good as anyone on the ground. Definitely a fight I'd like to see.
Everyone is high on Randy now..... which he is a hell of an athlete and deserves his props, but lets not forget he beat a tomato can in Sylvia. Seriously folks Fedor is the best MMA fighter in the world BAR NONE Fedor has fast Heavy hands and Excellent takedown and Takedown defense... I know everyone is sentimental towards Randy for a good win... Same as people were high on Hopkins after he beat Tarver
Tarver and Sylvia are both Way Overrated... Fedor absolutely Murders Randy within the 1st round
When I think about Fedor's opponents and who did the best I personally thought Coleman looked the best in their first fight up until the point Fedor pulled off that sick arm bar from the bottom. Coleman had taken his back and was controlling the fight. The man to beat fedor has to be able to physically impose himself on Fedor. Your not going to win a slugfest(the man took Fujita's best shots) w/him so either you use excellent grappling technique combined w/ superior athleticism to keep the fight standing up and wear him down or take your chances w/GNP(not suggested). Randy has shown great wrestling and athleticism, but he has also shown that he can be ko'd. Randy would be game and have some good moments but eventually would either be brutally TKO'd or ref stoppage from a sick submission.
In MMA, moreso even than in boxing, styles make fights. Randy has the style and skillset to make Fedor's life a living hell. In fact, I'd give Randy a better chance against Fedor than I'd give him against Mirko, or even Liddell again. Fedor is a better fighter than either, but styles make fights.
hate to say it but fedor would murder captain america.
fedor!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i doubt this fight will ever happen though.
This will be an interesting fight with Fedor being the favorite, but hey Randy always comes up surprising us.

I agree. this bout would lead to the first death in MMA.Quote:

imo, the only reason he came out of retirement was to take the HW title from Sylvia, b/c too many mma fans dislike Sylvia, and Dana wants a friendly face as the HW champ.
so long story short ;D Fedor would murder captain america.
Dont be so sure. As we all know anything can happen in MMA. Granted rodriguez and barnett he had tough times with. Big imposing grapplers tend to give Randy troubles BUT we all know he is great at executing a gameplan. I have to say as much as i love Randy i couldn't see him pulling off a win against Fedor.
Saying that no one should count Randy out. FFS the guy is 43 and we are talking about a matchup between him and the most dominant MMA exponent the world has ever seen.
Before anything though he would have to beat Gonzaga. The guy seems like an animal to be honest and i think Mirko would have been by far a better match for Randy but lets see what gameplan Captain America tries to bring to the table when/if they fight.
So many people are saying Gonzaga is now an animal and only Fedor would be a match for him. Mirko was caught napping in their fight. He wasn't prepared and i think he had a wakeup call by getting elbowed on the deck.
Anyway. Fedor wins BUT there's a part of me that would like to think Randy could pull off the impossible.
Fedor doesn't get caught napping & would destroy any heavyweight in either ufc or pride
Now that everybody is off of the Mirko bandwagon we might as well put our hope into Fedor, Randy would have no chance in this fight, it's a shame that his miracle win over Sylvia would even cause us to believe that he would have a chance in this fight. Gonzaga will beat Randy and then we will be ready for Fedor to come in and take the championship away from Gonzaga.
How would Fedor's stand up not bother Couture? He is a way better puncher than Liddell... look how he stood his ground agaisnt Crocop when they fought stand up. He has a lot of power and accuracy with his punches which is why he is so good at the ground and pound.Quote:

I hope fedor and rampage OR wanderlie silva both dominate the UFC.
I'm a crocop fan so yea i'm still hopeful that crocop comes back better then ever.
Zuffa is still sorting through Prides contracts....Fedor's pride contract was not exclusive and Dana says he wont sign him unless its an exclusive contract...His last fight was in Bodog. I find it hard to believe that he will stay away from UFC for long though.....Silva has stated that he wont fight this year, but I'm sure he will be back to the octagon at some point. I do expect UFC to bring Shogun in as well as Kang and Fihlo.
Van you should be a mod here in the MMA forum, your always around to help.
:coolclick: buddy ;D

Fedor would dispose of him in no time, it would look something like the second wanderlei cro cop fight i reckon
