Nog has more people to fight then Fedor who just has Sylvia, Arlovski, Barnett, Rothwell, and freakshows.

& Couture when he's through with all the legal shenanigans. I think it's more quality than quantity for Fedor. Buentello & Aleks give the division a bit more depth & even Rizzo as I don't think he can be counted out.

I forgot about Couture, but even though I think it will happen I've kind of lost interest with it because of the whole court battle with the UFC and what happens if the UFC wins? I don't thik Fedor would fight his brother and I guess Buentello and Rizzo could fight Fedor but Fedor would win those fights easily most likely.

They are good, but are several levels below the competition Fedor can face outside the UFC, Sylvia beat Vera, Kongo just lost to Herring, Mir has two wins over a rookie and a kickboxer, that doesn't impress me much, Gonzaga got beat by Werdum, who was beat by Arlovski. Beating Arlovski, Sylvia and Barnett is much more impressive than beating the above mentioned. Also, Fedor has Randy when the legal battles are over, Mirko has already shown interest in fighting Fedor again, you also have outside the UFC Sergei Kharitonov, Roy Nelson who could fight Fedor in a copromoted event or when the IFL folds, Buentello who is no can, Rizzo, Monson, etc. There's much more impressive competition at HW outside the UFC right now.

Edit: Oh yeah I frogot Antonio Silva too, and... KIMBO!!!! Joking, but I would like to see Fedor pounding his face
