If Fedor did sign with the UFC at the end of the year, would he make it through this new UFC HW gautlet unbeaten?

I do not see fedor being crushed standing by carwin like mir did. It would end up on the ground where i think Fedor would be savvy enough to catch carwin due to his lack of experience with great grapplers. Brock seems to know how to neutralize the ground game judging by his fight with Mir so he may beat Fedor. I don't know how Fedor would get JDS to the ground and JDS has heavy technical striking. I see it as a better version of the AA fight until AA made a dumb flying knee. Cain could easily win a decision with non-stop takedowns.

Sp Fedor can get Carwin to the ground, but you don't know how Fedor would get JDS to the ground? what? The order of these fighters toughest to easiest fights for Fedro is Brock, Carwin, Cain, JDS, and that opposite the order of my fanhood.

LOL LA. Muay I think has been hittin the sauce a little too hard

LOL... Let me see... Gonzaga cracked Carwin and I do believe Fedor would be able to do the same. Fedor would not take Carwin down NO WAY! BUT Carwin would take fedor down and fedor would catch him there. JDS would pick apart Fedor standing. MMA evolves fellas which is being proven all the time. Am I and was I a big Fedor supporter? YES! Am I and was I a big Gomi supporter? Yes! Am I a and was I a big Tito supporter? Yes! But everyone gets surpassed and these new HWs are for real.

LOL at this mess of broken sentences, that was hard to get through. I would have just stopped after Wolfy laughed at ur post too. Carwin is a wrestler, combine this with his strength and size advantages, he dictates where a fight with Fedor takes place. If he wants to take it to the ground, he probably could, but I'd expect him to play it smart like he did against Mir. Overall, much like Brock, his size and strength advantages would give Fedor trouble. Dos Santos on the otherhand may have the best standup in MMA right now, but he's still been unproven on the ground, which is where Fedor would immediately try to take it. IDK man but you have ur thoughts on these fights completely mixed up.

I'm not so sure about that, at least not immediately. Fedor DID try to stand for a while with Brett Rogers who was a huge threat standing and was untested on the ground. The problem with JDS fighting Fedor is Fedor has a knack for timing guys and picking that "golden moment" to throw a huge over hand right. Ain't but a handful of guys who can take a shot like that when he lands it clean.

If I was Carwin and I am fighting Fedor, I am not taking him to the ground, where the guy has access to abilities conducive to Sambo. I am not standing back trying to outslug the guy, because everybody knows he has a monster KO punch. I am putting his ass up against the cage and I will beat him in the clinch. If I can tag him a bit and eventually hurt him, you can then just stand and thrash him at will. I think Brock may be the only HW who can take Fedor to the ground, control him, and beat him.
