Yessss! I've been waiting so long for Fedor to enter the UFC! 
Hell no, Fedor has already proved himself.
Yeah, it upsets me Dana White didn't put any effort into the Fedor vs Randy match-up.
Damn man, what are you smoking? They aren't even in the same weight class...
Have you actually watched Fedor's fights? Or just "heard" about him? He is very good at what he does. Regardless if he beats Lesnar or not he is one of the best.

I dont find Fedor to be one of the greats just yet, there are alot of guys he hasnt fought yet. Im not the biggest fan of his style but it seems to work well for him so props for that. I think there are a couple of guys in the UFC that would take him down. I think Couture would pick him apart and If Brock gets a good hit or two in I could see where it would be hard to recover from.

Oh well, if he wants to fight in the UFC he knows what he needs to do, whether or not that means new management idk. Otherwise he can fiddle around with meaningless leagues and waste his talent and time.
edit: In other news Tito's officially back.

Dana's a little pissed.

Dana's a little pissed.
“He got offered a f---ing assload of money,” White said. “A ton of money, everything he wanted. He can go fight in sambo every f---ing Thursday night if he wants to. He can do everything he wanted to. We showed them nothing but respect.”
“It’s insanity to turn down a deal like this,” White said. “To turn down a deal like this, you don’t care about proving you’re the best in the world. You don’t want to fight the best in the world. You don’t care about money. How do you deal with something like that?”

yes I have seen many of his fights, not saying that he's not good but it almost seems that he gets lucky a lot of times, and lets admit one thing, he has never fought a guy like Randy Couture. This all goes back to the whole if you wanna be the best you have to fight the best. Look at the cro cop fight, yes he won and yes I think he won that fight but cro cop didnt lose by much, put a talented true mma fighter in there not just a boxer or just a ground guy and watch what can/will happen.
I think Fedor would beat Lesnar but I dont think he could get through a guy like Randy or Mir, and maybe even Kongo when Kongo's on his game he is a tough dude.
Anyone ever think the reason Fedor hasnt come to the UFC now or previously is he know's he will be dominated over there......

Yep, and Strike Forces #1 heavy weight (Overeem) lost to Nogueira 2 times in Pride...like I said he's wasting his time and talent. A funny fact is Overeem has said in 2008 he's ready to come to the UFC 
. Fedor might have to fight Fabricio Werdum someday since he's with Strike Force now too, my money won't be on him tho.
I'm siked for UFC 104.
