Size and speed yeah, he's an animal. Against the Last Emperor...he'd get ZULU'd

Maybe some day we can see the fight.

As far as better end of exchanges Rodgers was doing well and lost.

You really think he'd stand with Fedor.

I think he'd be forced to try as Fedor's ground game is far superior. His submissions would devastate Lesnar. And since I think Lesnar is a fairly intelligent fighter he would sense that and either be forced to stand or try the lay and pray method.

I think my overall point is that while Lesnar is good and has earned my respect, he's not on the same level.

I would have to disagree with you here. I've watched this fight about a dozen times and Fedor gave him rubber legs several times and of course, the big KO. Rodgers never phased Fedor and only landed about 7 clean shots and half of those were on the ground. That first jab Rogers landed looked more than it was because it opened a previous cut Fedor sustained while sparring with his brother during training a month ago.

I think Lesnar would try to take him to the ground. That is where he feels most comfortable being a wresting champion. Every fighter that Lesnar has fought has had a superior ground game and he took them down and smothered them. Granted, I think Fedor would be just fine if that happened but I don't see Lesnar trying to stand with him. I do agree with Dustin, Fedor is just on a different level.....than everyone.
