there is no need for this fight now randy does not have the belt anymore. so there for it wuld be pointless and not so say a one sided match. the fight now would be brock on fedor that would be the best heavey wieght fight to date
Look im not A Brock fan either but he has F'd up enough top guys to gain a little of my respect. I think Fedor would do him in but I have to agree Fedor vs Brock or Mir would be the best heavyweight fight to date.
rejects is an interesting word. for starters we have no idea about contract clauses or content.the ufc is a high turnover company unless you are a cash cow 1 or 2 fights go south and your done.i would say fedor has destoyed all former ufc competitors met and a fighters ability should not be called into question if they dont fight for the ufc. they have done a great job convincing the world they have all the best. open your eyes and look at the fighters not the company.randy and mir should fight in my opinion and brock should be happy he cought a break as a begginer,also fedor should be proof fighters exist outside the ufc....
Arlovski was paid half a million to fight Fedor with Affliction. There is no chance he would have got that much money in the UFC so why wouldn't you go elsewhere than the UFC for that kind of payday. Arlovski is still a world class fighter so I wouldnt exactly call him a reject maybe just smart enough to get paid $$$
Fedor has beaten some great fighters, it's just that most of the "ufc fans", who in my opinion aren't true MMA fans, haven't heard or seen them. in his last 2 fights he has beaten 2 of the worlds top 10 mma heavy weights and he will fight another one in the "babyface assisin". so fedor is a proven fighter. start judging him because of the way he fights instead of the company that he fights for.
Throught Fedor'scareer he has beaten the best of the best. When Fedor fought for pride the best fighter ( who went for the biggest payday) were in japan. PRIDE paid 3-10 times what the UFC paid back then, and they had the best money could buy.. and he beat them all. When Randy was still considered the best HW in the UFC, it took him a Dec to beat Tim sylvia. It took fedor less than 60 seconds. Arlovski's standup looked better than when he was UFC champ, yet he didnt make it past the 2 min mark with Fedor.
I guess he'll have to KO superman twice to prove to UFC FAN-atics that he is worthy of the #1 HW in the world title bestowed on him by ever MMA ranking site on the net.

who has fedor beat that is any good in the best 3 years?
i think you mean past, not best and i would say he has not beat anyone of any competition. He has beat UFC rejects.
