Jouster:
Damn...if that happened...I'd feel sorry for Randy.  I'm really happy to see him win and defend the title...but Fedor is a monster.

ChadTower:

I wouldn't be surprised to see Lesnar vs Couture first to set up a future Lesnar vs Fedor.  If the UFC has one hope to withstand Fedor it may be Lesnar... if Lesnar can get his weight down under the UFC's limit.  Lesnar is that big and strong, has an elite grappling background, and is one mean SOB on top of that.

shardian:
I've only seen one Fedor fight, but that was enough to know I wold NEVER, EVER ---fudgesicle--- with that guy. The other guy actually landed a huge punch that most believe knocked Fedor out. The dude, recovered immediately, and even caught himself before falling down. It looked odd, but in replay you could see his eyes glass over, then light back up mid fall. He then proceeded to pwn the other guy.

I have never seen anyone else recover from a devastating punch like that.

ChadTower:

Of course, it should be noted that Hua was "the world's best light heavyweight" and was pwn3d by the third or fourth ranked LH in UFC... and Cro Cop was "one of the world's most dangerous strikers" and got knocked the eff out by a guy that was later beaten handily by Couture.

I won't be surprised if Wanderei Silva comes in and gets similarly pwn3d...  Fedor, on the other hand, I don't think he will.  They have definitely learned their lesson on "feeding midcard guys" to the top Pride fighters as warmups for main events.

lordtodd75:
Fedor is a monster, but if there is one thing I learned watching MMA over the years it is this, don't ever count Randy Couture out. People did when he fought Vitor Belfor and Randy won. People did it when he fought liddell the first time, Randy won again. People did it when he fought sylvia and Randy made the heavy weight champion of the world look bad as he claimed the heavyweight belt. Fedor is a monster, but Randy is THE most strategic fighter I have ever seen and he has a gift of being able to take fighters out of there game and win fights, that on paper, he should never have won. Fedor vs. Couture, I say Couture by decision.
