Id love to see Fedor Hendo. I think Hendo has a similar style but is a lot more dangerous and exciting then Randy Couture. I know Hendo isnt a heavyweight but neither was Matt Lindland. I think Hendo has the chin, wrestling, ko power, and sub defense to give Fedor his toughest challenge yet. With them in the same org, unless Hendo gets a quick title shot, this could happen. Thoughts?

Henderson is a beast. But I cant imagine him beating Fedor. I think he'd give him a tough fight, but Im fairly sure Fedor would do away with him easily.

A good deal of Fedor's fights have been against light heavyweights. I'd really have no interest seeing him fight another. Especially a small LHW.

A good deal of Fedor's fights have been against super heavyweights.

Also, Fedor is a relatively small hw.

The weight difference between him and Hendo would be very small (much smaller than say the weight difference between Brock and ANY of his opponents to date)

Fedor fights at the same weight that a lot of light heavyweights fight at (after rehydrating from a weight cut0. Guys like Forrest and Tito weigh as much than Fedor in the cage.

Fedor's too slick with the subs. Hendo would probably pull off a few swank escapes, as per his fight with Noguiera, but he'd tap eventually.

yeah maybe but rogers got out of fedor's infamous arm bar, so i think henderson can too.

that armbar wasn't really locked in. had it been... Rogers would be missing a limb today

but did he or did he not get out of it? rogers didn't let fedor get it locked in, he got it out before it was too late

What we all know about what happened is that Fedor appeared to attempt an armbar and Rogers succumbed to the manuver, losing his otherwise advantageous position.

You say he got out of an armbar... he was never in it. Had he been, he'd have lost to it by my, and i think any reasonable statistical, estimation.

i think you read far too much into Roger's jits def. Your entire argument is based on him losing a superior position and Hendo is no where near as strong as Rogers by any reasonable assumption. And while he is far better a wrestler than Rogers, Fedor would be a terrible fight for Hendo who could otherwise dominate competition at MW and LHW if he got through Garard.

This fight would be awesome. I would actually be rooting for hendo. I see Fedor winning but if Hendo can connect one of those overhand rights, Fedor might be in for a rude awakening. Same if Fedor connects also. Would make for an interesting matchup for sure.
