bulletmagnet - IMO fedor is too small.
dont forget fedor is a giant killer!

WickedWonder -daba - Brock was impressive tonight, but Fedor would win easily.
Nobody beats Brock easily. Fedor would probably win but i could see him looking like Mir did tonight.
Smith1234 - Fedor would have to land a flying knee. Otherwise he gets taken down and tooled on the ground.

mir beat brock fairly easily in the first fight
it's possible
brock has only fought 5 fight...in japan vs can't remember, mir, herring, couture, and mir
seriously that's not saying much
don't hop on the frate trane too quickly

Mazzagatti saved Mir in 1st fight. He was getting pounded like he did in 2nd fight.
"Wouldnt it be awesome to see fedor decimate brock "
Dude, you obviously have no fucking clue as to what the word "decimate" actually means, do you?

no he wasn't
I dont know Mir's stand up looked dangerous against Brock and he doesnt have the TD defense, foot work or striking that Fedor does.
I dont think Brock could hang with Fedor but his size would definitely be a huge factor.

not only that, but to take out brock, bit by bit...would be fucking awesome
for him to fucking DECIMATE brock
would be awesome
MickColins - Fedor and a healthy big Nog are the only guys right now who have a shot against Lesnar. Dude is just too large.
IF(when) brock took fedor to side control he would end the fight there. its as simple as that, hes not going to get elevatored like randleman did.
he will not get ko'ed standing
fedor will not stop his shot
fedor is not invincible
Fedor will lose bad. He's 20 lbs lighter than BJJ Black Belt Mir, and Mir couldnt get up.
Brock will fight anyone, Fedor's camp won't.
I would pay to see this fight.
everyone likes to generalize on both sides about this...
"brock will kill fedor...fedor is too small...blah blah blah"
or
"fedor would destroy brock...fedor is faster, etc"
but the truth is...we don't know. if we look at each fighter without being an overzealous fanboy, its one of the most interesting fights ever imo.
brocks size and athleticism are amazing, he really is a new kind of heavy.
fedor is one of the most tested and intuitive fighters in mma history.
brocks performance last night was his best yet imo. without trying to take away what he's done in such a short time...his previous fights were kind of underwhelming after all the hype and expectation that was built up. but last night he appeared to be in control and comfortable, and didn't display much of the clumsiness and nerves that seemed obvious to me in his first few fights. Id wager if he keeps progressing at this rate he'll run through typical heavies with no problems.
fedor is the quintessential champion...mysterious, and often misunderstood, but dangerous and undefeated...arguably not even losing a single round in the last 9 years. people like to analyze fights based on physical attributes, and even after fedor consistently proving over and over again he is not hindered by being physically outgunned, people still dont understand. its not his physical traits that win his fights, its his will and intuition.
the quotes about him from other fighters that circulated for a while, and his own quotes about his motivation tell the story...he fights for his life every time, like its life of death. IIRC it was Nog who said it best (paraphrasing) when he said "you can't beat someone that fights like that...you can feel it when you fight him, that its life or death". not an exact quote but along those lines (dont feel like looking it up). or even the fedor quote where he said he grew up poor with little food, and he looks at his opponent as trying to take food away from his family.
for this reason, I tend toward fedor in any matchup (including brock), regardless of size, strength, or stats.
jason hornbuckle - it would be more awesome to see the number of suicide threads on here if Brock beat Fedor
