There's one fight that might be worth something? Minakov is the undefeated Bellator champ and he's Russian...
I'm seeing folks write about Bobby Lashly, Kimbo, Tito, etc. - but those would truly suck.
Outside of bringing back Cole Konrad (just an idea), Minakov should be the man!
Minakov would be awesome
agreed this is one of the better options
Not gonna happen, they are training partners right now.
Minakov is going to fight on the card, but not against Fedor. They're training partners and Russian nationalists. They'll both be beating up non russians.
Can Anderson Silva compete in Japan? Or even Jon Jones?
Is it guaranteed to be someone on the current Bellator roster?
Hashtag would watch.
Is Randy too old to make that fight happen?
I don't think Fedor is interested in fighting the young Russian heavyweights. I can't imagine him fighting Volkov or Minakov.
Culinary Union Delegate - Minakov is going to fight on the card, but not against Fedor. They're training partners and Russian nationalists. They'll both be beating up non russians.
Ah, I see. Someone else here wrote this as well; if that's the case it makes sense to me too.
This is too bad though, who the hell is Fedor gonna fight?
Happy he's back but all I can wish for is that he'll be UFC-bound after he completes his two fights on the contract (and wins).
I'm no fan of the UFC as a company but I do want to see Fedor fight the best (unless he drops to 205, which he won't, but then there's some competition, at least)...
I think it'll be Fedor crushing Kimbo. He'll raise his stock by Zulu'ing Kimbo on American TV, then he's in the UFC fighting Werdum and Bigfoot
Bellator is also going to showcase their champ Minakov for a big audience.
Ivanov, with their history, would be an obvious choice, but i don't know much about WSOF deals.
i dont think fedor is interested in being champion...much like in strikeforce. overeem was the MIA champ and they had fedor fighting his challengers..
They are training together, not going to happen.
Damien Grabowski would be cool.
Zzzzzzzzzzz
Tito will never fight anyone he doesn't have a weight advantage on. I can see Fedor fighting someone marketable, not necessarily deserving; Randy, Lashley, Kimbo, Shamrock, etc.
If Nick gets released from UFC, I could see Bellator snatching him up for a good ol fashioned Japanese freakshow fight vs Fedor.
Fedor vs Badr Hari!!
hooha - There's one fight that might be worth something? Minakov is the undefeated Bellator champ and he's Russian...Jimmy, Cole Konrad retired.
