in your opinion between Fedor and Anderson Silva?
Silva weighing around 205 and Fedor weighing around 230 at catch weight.

Id pick Fedor. Only because even if Anderson was at 205 Fedor is still alot bigger and stronger than him. His striking is just as good and the guy can pick punches like you wouldnt believe. I believe that Anderson couldnt get him as your not going to KO Fedor and if he took Fedor to the ground not only is he bigger and stronger than Anderson but he has a solid groundgame to boot.

As one of the biggest Anderson Silva fans walking the earth, Fedor would demolish him like he's demolished so many others.
This takes away nothing from Anderson Silva, who I personally think will go down as one of the greatest fighters of all time.
Fedor is either supremely masochistic or a robot when it comes to absorbing punishment in an MMA contest. No matter how bad a position it seems he's in, he can flip it around in an instant and all of a sudden win the match.
If it ever happened, here's what I think would go down: Silva's mainly a counter fighter, and Fedor will chase him. Anderson will land some shots, probably a couple big ones and some knees. Fedor will just keep coming, and eventually he'll land something and either TKO Silva or get him to the ground. Even though Silva's long legs will make it difficult, if it goes to the ground I think Fedor could sub Silva.

Fedor by death.
... And that's absolutely no disrespect to Anderson Silva.
Giving Fedor a weight advantage is like giving Mike Tyson (in his prime) a pair of brass knuckles.

Not really, it would be around the same weight advantage or possibly of a large heavyweight like Lesnar or Carwin would have on a smaller heavyweight like Couture. I dont see why everyone is making a deal out of the weight, also i said around that weight not exactly 205, Silva probably walks around at 215. Yes weight does mean alot, but when a guy as skilled as Anderson Silva is 20lbs lighter than his opponent, it doesnt mean he will be overwhelmed. Also if this topic is so ridiculous please by all means lock.

I dont think a fighter wants to put themselves in a position to have to cut 30 lbs. Just saying....

Hell, Jon Fitch walks around 215-220 and fights at 170.

Thats why he tested light heavyweight waters because its so much closer to his normal weight.

I never said I knew for sure. I never seen anything where he stated he walked around at 215 so I didnt know. Thanks for informing me though. Idk I just didnt think fighters would wantto cut 30 lbs. seems like a diffacult task... that kid got owned as for that. I dont really care. I learned something new, lol

Fujita almost knocked out Fedor by making Fedor chase him, and I think Anderson could make Fedor make the same mistake and capitolize where Fujita couldn't. Not to say the exact opposite couldn't happen, with Fedor killing the Spider, but I would not be surprised by either result to be honest.

Water weight can be quickly dropped...you just have to be careful not to dehydrate yourself in the process.

Stays standing, remains controlled, and ends the fight in the next minute. The guy is not human.

Watch the Randleman Fedor fight, Randleman is dominating, then suddenly Fedor sneaks in the arm. Randleman landed one of the prettiest suplexes in MMA, it looked like it killed Fedor, then he slipped the arm and won the fight.
Coleman did the same thing, was dominating and overpowering, then bam, the arm and its over.

That's the thing about Fedor... He can be getting tooled and yet, it still seems pretty obvious that he's going to somehow turn it around and win in a convincing fashion.

I find it amusing still how Fedor almost got taken out by a pro-wrestler.

And around Weigh-in time fighters have to be VERY careful not to drink much liquids at all because water weight can be gaines back extremely quickly.
