I think Coleman has the right style to put Fedor on his back and keep him there for a boring JD, even if he is old.

I bet Coleman could do the same to Cro Cop, but I believe I read that he is fighting the guy who beat Kerr........

I heard Yammy LOST his spot.

I would have agreed had I seen this post a while back... but rewatch Coleman Vs Nog/Frye.... he looked so old, he is no longer the irrespressible take down machine he once was... he only got Nog on the floor because he slipped going for a high-kick!

Fedor's boxing is too angry for Coleman. If the fight goes to the floor, it will be because Coleman extends to far for a shoot and Fedor will sprawl and take his back.

after seeing Fedor's wrestling against Arona I would have to say that if Coleman does put Fedor down it wont be for very long. If the fight stays standing then Coleman will get slaughtered.

I think if anyone can upset Fedor in the first round, it's gonna be Coleman. One way or another Fedor would end up on his back. I don't remember seeing him on his back yet.

I think nog had him on his back two times, but Nog(!!) was reversed by Fedor quickly. I think Fedor could get to his feet against almost anyone.

I don't know man. Coleman can hold down the best of them.

'least they dont have fedor fighting one of the laughable entries :)

I haven't seen the Fedor/Arona fight. Where is it?
