Anderson Silva would annihilate him and he's a MW.

I have been only reading here for a while, but this comment brought me out of my slumber at the keyboard.

I have to argue that you are blinded by the media. Mir and lesnar has not fought an opponent any better than Fedor has fought. In fact Mir lost to Ian Freeman, yea I don't know who he is either.

If you watch the fights and keep a non-media infused mind, You will see that the heavyweight division is week around the world. ****, the UF show had to recruit pro-football players with almost no fighting experience to fill the show. The fights have been week and a bunch football players with minimal talent. However, baby boy has some skills. he really earned some credit in his last fight in my eyes. That arm bar was Fedor like.

To wrap up, If you watch the other fighting contests Fedor competes in Sombo and another I forget the name of--but it is when you only submit guys with no strikes to the head allowed--you can still see that he rules those worlds as well as the mma world. Fedor is no Joke, and to quote NCradioman, still the emperor.

They filled the show with x-football players because they did it in a short time frame for ratings to get Kimbo on TV. This season was supposed to be all the guys that are gonna be on season 11. How can you be #1 if you havn;t fought a true #2 in years.
A. Silva walks around between 220 and 230 BTW. Lesnar would out muscle him and hold him down and smash him. While Mir poses a significant threats on the ground and has much improved striking and won't have a size disadvantage as he did with Lesnar.
