I woulda thought the exact opposite. Lesnar has brute strength and wrestling behind him, but Fedor is a way more rounded fighter. His submission skills make Frank Mir's look silly, and I haven't seen anything out of Lesnar that looks like submission... ground and pound, but thats it.I'll say it again-Lesnar will take Fedor in MMA.
outside a ring, I think Fedor would rip lesnars' face off and eat it, but IF Fedor ever fights Lesnar in a MMA octagon, Brock has my vote.
That was the first time I had the opportunity to actually see Fedor fight other than clips on the web. I know he is acknowledged as the best fighter in MMA, but I must say i wasn't all that impressed with this fight against Rogers. For all the accolades he's given I was expecting a dominant performance. Fedor seems small as a heavyweight and Rogers size looked to be giving him trouble. Fedor indeed landed a nice punch that floored Rogers in the 2nd round but up until that point it looked to me like Rogers was in control and slightly ahead in the match. In my opinion the ref stepped in a bit too quickly after the knockdown.
As fighters, pound for pound, Anderson Silva and GSP are much more impressive to me. I would love to see Fedor in the UFC. I think Lesnar's sheer size and strength would give Fedor problems. I don't know who would win but it would be a very interesting match.

first off if you ever watch mma and wasn't up fedor's arse then you know that fight was called early..........granted fedor put rodgers on his butt but if the fight was called the same way in the second then rodgers should have won in the first when fedor was clearly not guarding.......if you watch rodgers block every punch when he was on the ground and then looked in big johns face and was like really?!?!?!.....that fight IMO was a joke......Fedor doesn't train and takes fights easy....and if you think I am lying he got married in the middle of training for this fight and lets be honest you just dont clound your head for your first "big" fight in the US like that......watch the whole fight again it was a little rigged in fedor favor(again he did knock rodgers off his feet but he blocked every shot) I honestly think that fedor is scared to fight in the UFC there is way way way way way way way more talent in the UFC.....not a huge Lasner fan but I am a believer and I believe that Lasner would destroy fedor on the ground on his pure wrestling and strength alone.......Fedor is a fat slob in Heavyweight and could easily cut to 205 but I dont think he can handle it(notice his HUGE beer belly in this and it is supposedly the best shape he has ever fought common....now rogers that guy was in amazing shape compared to his fights).....either way I dont think fedor is worthy of the "1" spot in mma....anderson silva has out classed so many fighter its not even funny easily number 1 followed extremely close by GSP......fedor is just looking for his big payday and then when dana white turned down his "offer" to own part of the UFC and make M1 a partner it hit him because IMO strike force has three fighter in the stable the are truly worth a damn other then who is fedor gonna keep fight tim silva and andri what a joke until fedor really beats some then I will believe the only fight he won that he earned was Nog and the first fight Nog had heim beat until his illegal headbutt...............
not again....
fedor is recognized by the experts, and even other fighters as the best heavyweight in the world.....
and yet people still want to argue, because they think some former WWE wrestler with 5 MMA fights can beat him.
Fedor has 33 MMA fights, and one loss.....
look into his record, his a mutli time Russian National Judo Champion, Eastern EUropean Champion...
8 times Russian Sambo Champion
5 times world Sambo Champion
and has destroyed all challenger in PRIDE, M-1, BoDog and Affliction.....
he destroyed Silvia in 30 seconds.....
to truly appreciate who this guy is...you need to look at what he has done for the last ten years, he has dominated the world since before most people even knew what MMA was, and while UFC was still fighting in warehouses.
