Wanderlei-Fedor would be a of a war and not a stretch b/c Wandy has fought at HW before.

I was just thinking about this today too!
Fedor would GnP the smile off Silva's face. That's the truth, Fedor is still #1 until he loses again or retires.
The style of Fedor would be too much for Silva.
Silva is a set up fighter and Fedor would not let him do that. Sonnen did the same - he engaged quickly.
Fedor comes in and catches you throws you down and g&p.
Really a motivated Fedor would have more chances then you expect.
But Silva do not like an idea of going up the division
Fedor would kick Silva's ass, but there's a few HW's in UFC that would crush Fedor now.
Fedor wins
i never believed the Fedor hype, he never fought any of the top UFC guys and fought tons of guys out of his weight class and all those freak fights
He's IMO immensely over-rated from the Pride days.. His biggest wins were against Nog and Cro-Cop. Neither of them did much of anything in the UFC.. I think Cain would run right over Fedor..
You guys are ing nuts. Fedor would destroy any of the HW's in the UFC right now. He will win this absurd SF bull , and then we'll discuss this again.
imo fedor is done, and is nothing more than window dressing for this strikeforce grand pre. i got antonio silva over fedor. and i also have spider silva completely walking all over fedor in an imaginary fight.
He is never gonna fight in the UFC so there is not really much to discuss win or lose at SF..
I seriously question if any of you followed MMA during the PRIDE days. The UFC had NO top 5, maybe top 10 HW fighters. Sylvia and Andrei were it. straight scrubs were getting le shots. It was a huge deal when freakin Heath Herring came to the UFC. The UFC was widely seen as the inferior organization until about late 2006/early 2007 when PRIDE was dying.
Cro Cop and Nog came to the UFC at the back end of two careers straight from . Cro cop had been pounded in the head for 10-15 years through k-1 and mma. Nog had been a human punching bag for about the same time. They were both done before they came to the UFC tbh.. Dana just used them as hype because the UFC HW was SOOOOO bad at the time it was a joke. Fedor was a legitimate p4p best in the world for about 7 years. Inactivity and m1-global has destroyed him, but you cannot forget how dominate he was. He was the most feared man in MMA for the entire decade. Not to mention an extremely small HW..
This is the problem i have with the Fedor argument. Everyone just makes excuses for his lack of compe ion or guys that were once great fighters in Pride and then came to the UFC and fell short. Nobody said CC is done and a punching bag when he came to the UFC. They were all talking UFC le for him right away. All the Pride fans scrambled to rewrite that history once CC failed in the UFC. Suddenly he was old and washed up. Fedor was at his best when the UFC HW division was weak for sure but he never came over and showed his stuff when the division got really good. Now people question how great he really was and that is 100% fair to me. The man's resume outside of Nog and CC is filled with guys like Coleman, Lindland and Hong-Man Choi. You can talk about Fedor being small for a HW but he fought tons of guys that were his size and the bigger guys he fought were mostly big stiffs with limited skills..
LOL, don't forget about the great Jeff Monson.
I think the only thing the UFC had on Pride at the time was the 170 lbers. Pride had HW, LHW (or MW as they called it) an LW locked up.
