yeah, and if ever the fight goes to the ground what is going to happen ?
Fedor is one of the best ground fighter at heavyweight, he knows how to wrestle opponents, taking them to the ground and hitting them really hard, he has this special thing to hit opponents to the ground constantly.
He's very skilful and smart on Submissions, one of the best, in my opinion. We often seems to forget that Fedor has good submissions skills, he's very good at it, submitted Silva in 36 seconds :-).
Plus, Fedor has astonishing fast hands, his boxing skills seems limited, but in fact if you take a look closer, he knows a lot about avoiding punches and counter-punching. In his training DVD, you can see him doing his 3 steps backward while hitting left right combinations. it's the perfect tool against people like Arlovski who tries to put pressure.
Even Mousasi told it during an interview in Holland : Thinking that Fedor has not kickboxing and Boxing skills is just pretty laughable. like he said, maybe he wont KO you with a high kick, but his low kicks and punches are really good.
To conclude, with a good stamina, and exceptional "fighting" spirit, I don't think we can say that Fedor would be "easily" beaten by any heavyweight...
Sure Brett Rodgers has a chance to KO him, but if that fight goes to the ground, I have strong doubt that Rodgers will keep that undefeated record.
