I've been a fan of both fighters and after seeing this I believe this is a perfect match. You don't need to be a matchmaker to see that these two were meant to met eachother.

You don't need to be a matchmaker to see that these two were meant to met eachother. why is it such a great match? Because Couture just lost his last fight and Fedor is still at the top? makes no sense at all and I doubt they will fight.... That vid. is so old and so stupid.... Barnett vs. Fedor is the only HW match I want to see right now for fedor then maybe UFC matches if posible...

Oh I guess you don't have a sense of humor. Barnett is a good fight for him and a good tune up for Fedor would be Buentello so we could see him at least 2 time more this year instead of once every 18 months. I'd personally like to see him fight Evans too. I don't think Evans/Emelianko comes off due to conflicting organizations that share bad blood but it would be interesting to see.

You mean Rashad Evans? A LHW not a HW? Different weight classes buddy. Buentello would get destroyed. Its already been said many times that if Barnett wonn and Fedor won that was the next fight. That video is stupid IMO. Couture vs. Fedor would have been great a few years ago but now it makes no sense. and Buntelo, and Fedor. Or Evans and Fedor make even less sense...

How does Fedor and Evans not make sense when he first started in Ultimate Fighter he was campaigning at HW? I said Buentello would be a good tune up fight not a main event fight. I'd rather watch Fedor fight Buentello than anybody else in Affliction other than Barnett. I wasn't serious about the Couture fight that was just for fun.

Why delay that for Buentello and have the possibility of Fedor somehow getting injured or something. Its already been stated that Barnett/Fedor will take place next. Evans/Fedor makes NO sense because Rashad Evans has always been a LHW even before TUF it was said by him on season 2 that he moved up a weight class to get that once in a life time chance... Alot of fighters do that... They move up or down so they can get on to TUF..

Yeah but the fact of the matter is that he did it and he became the Ultimate Fighter winner as a HW now how would it be far fetched when he fought much bigger fighters than Fedor plus he's blowing out the competition in LHW. No I don't want Fedor to fight Buentello now I want him to fight Barnett first then a tune up fight just to keep him busy.

No I don't want Fedor to fight Buentello now I want him to fight Barnett first then a tune up fight just to keep him busy. And he was a VERY small HW. Beating Brad Imes doesn't exactly mean Rashad Evans should be fighting a guy like Fedor. And how do you see that being a "good" fight? Evans is an improving striker, but primarily a wrestler. If you're a fan of Evans, fine...but Rashad Evans and Fedor isn't exactly a great matchup at all. Fedor would murder Evans. I'm also very curious how Barnett is a "tune up" and what he'd be tuning up for? Josh Barnett is a top 3 HW...he's using him as a tune up to face...himself?

Who said Barnett was a tune up I was simply agreeing that Barnett should fight Fedor now and to avoid a long period of inactivity get in the ring with Buentello in there as a tune up afterwards. I'm no fan of Rashad but he is well composed and can move well avoid big punches, counters well, has excellent ground skills, and it's more of in shape factor that differentiates the two. Rashad is 5'11 at a fit 205 where Fedor is 6' and 235 with a tire around that waist. I think this fight has more potential than you're giving it. Maybe not right now but I'd say with a couple more wins against top names Rashad will be a viable opponent.

He moved up to be on TUF before then he was a LHW just like he is now.... Who else is there for him to face he is the LHW champion of the world?!?! The fight makes NO sense...

Oh an improving striker! I mean he not only gave Liddell fits trying to land punches but he KO'd him and for that he's just an improving striker come on man you could do better than that. Chuck may not be in his prime anymore but he was still very dangerous with his striking ability and he beat him at his own game. Fedor is def. a bigger better fighter than Chuck Liddell but so is Rashad. Based on your argument who else do you have in mind that should fight Fedor because as far as I'm concerned there's really noone out there that's proven other than Rashad at the lower weight class.

secondly it's become apparent that you never seen open weight fights because if you did you would understand this fight makes sense in so many ways. Oh but you're constricted by rules so you can't think outside the box. Name me three better opponents and I'll shut up.

Dana white has said many times the UFC wont have openweight fights and Fedor will ntot be signed in UFC anytime soon. I have seen openweight fights in Pride but that was Pride. Dana states all the time openweight fights will not take place in the UFC. AlsoI will name 3 opponents that make ALOT more sense for Rashad.... Rampage Jackson Lyoto Machida Wanderlei Silva why?? BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL IN HIS WEIGHT CLASS DOUCHE BAG. UFC wont do open weight fights get over it...

Oh but you're constricted by rules so you can't think outside the box. Name me three better opponents and I'll shut up. 3 better match-ups for Fedor than Rashad Evans? - Josh Barnett - Brock Lesnar - Frank Mir - Randy Couture - Gabriel Gonzaga - Alistair Overeem - Brett Rogers ...I can keep going. Seriously...Rashad Evans is far too small to stay in a fight with Fedor. He is STILL an improving striker. Catching Chuck Liddell with a great shot was impressive, but he's OBVIOUSLY still improving on his striking. Evan's isn't a great counter puncher, he's not a great boxer. He's improving. (see: Josh Koscheck. A great wrestler that's working on his striking and improving each fight) I get it...you're a big Rashad Evans fan...but this argument is ridiculous. Rashad Evans would get murdered by Fedor. In fact, I don't see Evans getting by Rampage.

Name me three times when a light heavyweight (or anyone in a lighter weight class) has beaten a top-10 heavyweight, let alone the No. 1 heavyweight in the world.
