I'd say Mir or Barnett. I'd like to see Fedor against Brock Lesnar the most though..

I still think Arlovski is the biggest threat to Fedor. He was doin well and outboxing Fedor until he got KTFO by the right hand bomb.

If Arlovski fights smarter and more disciplined in a rematch, he might be able to shock the world.

Yeah, he was winning the fight but it was only a very short distance into the fight and I think Fedor was baiting him to come in and do something stupid. Arlovski does have good boxing skill but his chin is ****. I don't think Arlovski can last for 5 rounds with Fedor who can end the fight with one single punch.

I agree with your first paragraph, but in the end Fedor will always triumph.

It's tough to say, I voted for the juiced up monkey but I'd favor Fedor pretty clearly over any of the above.

its only a matter of time befo Fedor gets complacent and makes a dumb mistake. then he'll lose and come back better than before.

don't think its gonna be Arlovski, he's gettin into boxing (he's fighting on the Winky-PWill undercard apparently). maybe Mir (seems to be refocused and looking very much like the Frank Mir of old) or Cain Velasquez (after he gets some experience against tougher competition).

I can't really say. It would have to be between Arlovski and Lesnar. Mir doesn't do anything distinctly better than Fedor so I can't really pick him. Arlovski has a good standup game and he could out strike Fedor to a decision. And Lesnar has alot of strength and he has a really heavy punch.

Having said that, those guys are the "biggest" threats but in no way do I see them beating Fedor. Fedor is just way too dominant at everything. Fedor will only be losing to old age eventually cuz I don't see anyone out there right now worthy of challenging his reign.

I agree that Mir is definitely resurgent. However, to mention Velasquez at this stage of his career is too soon if you ask me. It's hard to say how he is going to turn out. Even though he does seem a very exciting prospect.

I agree,I think only chance beating Fedor is standing up,and all this guys rely on ground game.and if prime Minotauro couldn't beat Fedor on ground,probably no one can.

Brock has great power and size but he doesn't have stand up skills enough and on the ground,Fedor by armbar

Fedor would just beat him easily.I can't understand why people wanted to see that fight.And my answer to the poll is Josh Barnett.

Randy always surprise a lot of MMA fans. He always has that good game plan.

The biggest threat to Fedor is himself!

He needs to stay focused and train with partners who will push him day in and day out. He needs to venture out of his comfort zone or else he will end up like BJ or Chuck. Those guys should have changed camps or at least brought in some real training partners who could give them both a proper workout (sparring wise).

Follow GSP's recipe for success and Fedor should remain on top for a long time to come.

Brock Lesnar with Randy Couture training and Cornering him :notworthy
Lesnars strength, speed and size with Coutures training and game plan :)
since Brocks already training there with couture i don't really see anyone beating him.

and if rampage, wanderlai silva, or basically any of the elite light heavys move up they are a legit threat to fedor

I'm not so sure about that.

I really can't see what they LHWs would bring to threaten Fedor, particularly Wanderlei (as much as I like him).

Wanderlei doesn't look like a threat to anyone anymore. Especially anyone with a left hook or left high kick.

How is Brock Lesnar getting votes?
Fedor has fought people as big as him in the past with better MMA skills.

No one can beat Fedor IMO.

none of them, only possibly Sergei Kaharitonov could be a threat. he has trained with him, and only his style could match up with fedor's

why just cause they weigh less?

Rampage is probably faster and stronger then fedor maybe not the best overall fighter but hes definetly better then anyone else fedor has fought

Rampage is a light heavyweight with 7 LOSSES

Fedor is the far superior fighter, he's stronger, more explosive, better striker, great sambo, way better jiu jitsu, tougher, more heart, undefeated.

Fedor easily destroys him.

Rampage got picked apart and basically disabled with leg kicks by Forrest. Then he got absolutely dominated on the mat by Forrest, who's GnP game is not even in the same hemisphere Fedors.

I think the deal with Lesnar is that he'd have to get Fedor on his back, control him 100% of the time and drop enough elbows, hammerfists and punches to keep the fight there. If he can keep from being subbed, he can win a decision that everyone will hate.

IMO he can't, and Fedor subs him in the 1st. Fedor really has no legit threats right now. I used to think Barnett would be the 1st to beat him, but he looked ridiculous against Yvel, so that's out.

first of all fedor is not stronger then rampage....

and second of all the question was who is the biggest threat im not sayin rampage is the biggest threat but if they were to fight he would be a threat.

and last time i checked the heavyweight division sucks yea fedor is undefeated he also has fought ****ty competition

fedor has never fought anyone with the combination of speed and power, rampage is just an example too im trying to say elite light heavy's would be a threat to fedor if they fought him.

And your ****in gay for giving me red k for that *****

Just stick to boxing, you don't know jack **** about MMA.

Fedor is the greatest MMA fighter of all time, he has a very very impressive resume.

I actually think Fedor could get himself down to 205 if he wanted to.I think he was something like 220 vs.Arlovski and he has quite a lot of fat to burn.

I'm sorry but I don't see Rampege beating Fedor there's just no ways he could beat Fedor.no chance on ground and he doesn't have strong enough stand up.his only chance is to connect with some lucky punch.

He's been in the 220s for most of his fights, but he actually weighed in north of 240 for the Arlovski fight.

Hopefully he comes in more fit for the rematch if/when it occurs.

He's not a huge heavyweight. I think he puts on weight for a lot of fights so he has a few extra pounds to throw around.

Hasn't had a fight where his cardio has affected his performance yet. :o
