Yea Dana said in the press conference "he's talked a lot of trash about Fedor and his management in the past, but the bottom line is they will eventually get Fedor. White said once they finally get Fedor's signature on a contract, they will then set up the now eagerly anticipated Fedor vs. Brock Lesnar fight"
Is Dana nuts? I guess If Lesnar somehow wins he can say I told you so. Truly I don't see Fedor losing standing up but if it get's on the ground I don't see Fedor getting up.

Can Fedor stop Brock from taking him down?
I seriously doubt it.
On top of Brock's outstanding power and wrestling - he has at least 40-50 pounds on Fedor.
C'mon...

Fedor has fought very good wrestlers in Kevin Randleman, and Mark Coleman twice who is about the same size as Lesner. Sure Lesner might get a lucky punch but most likely Fedor would win.

Coleman is NOT the same size as Lesnar.
Coleman fought at UFC 100 as a light heavyweight ... under 200 pounds. When he fought Fedor, he was 205.
Randleman is shorter than Coleman and also fought at 205.
Lesnar's wrestling is also better than both Randleman and Coleman.

Coleman fought this past weekend at 204lbs and when he fought Fedor he was 105kg which is 230lbs.
Still I agree he'd have a heart attack when Brock got a hold of him.

Bottom line ...
Fedor VS Brock .... Brock has NOTHING to lose (except the title) because nobody would expect him to win ... but if he won, and beat an aging Fedor, he's undisputed the best in the world

Thats right Randleman is only 3 inches shorter but the point I was making is he can defend against wrestlers because both are very good wrestlers.
When Fedor fought Coleman at Pride 32 he was running around 230-240 and was strong as hell, similar to Brock. Not quite the same but similar.
Fedor will not be intimidated by Brocks size. He has fought big guys before with different things to offer and very big such as Gary Goodridge and Heath Hearing. Fedor is very good under pressure. He is not 30-0-1 for nothing and a former heavyweight champion of Rings, Pride and Affliction(WAMMA) by accident.

Coleman was that big because there's no roid testing in Japan... Also Donnie I wasn't saying it would be difficult to take Fedor down there's such a huge size difference there I'm sure someone with Lesnar skills would be able to take him down with ease but I'm also sure Fedor would be able to capitalize on any mistake Lesnar could make. I just think Lesnar is ready for a Fedor match yet or even close.

Coleman was huge in Japan and early UFC's. I don't think there was testing then either. He has lost alot of size.
