LOL, that exchange of words was pretty funny. Especially when Rampage threw himself in the floor pretending to be Rashad after Lyoto knocked him out. Too bad they are not fighting. I really wanted to see that match.

Big Baby vs Titties. Rampage is like a spoiled kid setting this match up lol. It reminds me of playing the old street fighter game with my brother. My brother would have one character (usually broken) who he would pull out once I started kicking his ass in the game.
I'm not a Fedor nuthugger, but you can't deny his greatness. The man has accomplished so much for the sport, and his truly and ambassador. He has defeated the best of the best. Who else is left? Brock Lesnar? That's the only legitimate fighter left that would make sense for Fedor to face.
Look at all the UFC champs he has defeated, and the caliber of fighters.
Here's a very quick run down, and tell me anyone else that has a resume as his.
Defeated Semmy Schilt, K1 Grand Prix Champion, great striker with tons of power.
Defeated Ricardo Arona, at times was ranked #3 LHW in the world. Fought at HW at the time.
Defeated Babalu (same situation as Arona)
Defeated Heath Herring, #1 contender for HW title and was ranked top 5 in the HW division.
Defeated Nogueira, and not only defeated the best p4p fighter at the time, but outclassed him in every aspect of the game. Let's not forget, Nog is an olympic caliber boxer and one of the best heavyweight BJJ practicioners. He defeated him twice at that.
Defeated Gary Goodridge, K1 striker with tons of power. Not his greatest W.
Defeated Mark Coleman. Fomer UFC heavyweight champion, the Godfather of Ground n Pound, and one of the most powerful heavyweights at the time. Defeating Coleman the second time was unnecessary.
Defeated Fujita, not hist biggest victory but we saw how well Fedor adapts to his environment and can get out of dangerous situations.
Defeated Kevin Randleman, former UFC heavyweight champion, NCAA Division I wrestler with tons of power in his hands.
Defeated Mirko Cro Cop, 2006 Grand Prix Champion Pride, one of the best strikers ever in the heavyweight division, and of K1 caliber. Fedor defeated Cro Cop on the stand up aspect.
Defeated Mark Hunt, profession K1 kickboxer and boxer coming off victories over Wanderlei and Cro Cop. Huge fight at the time, and Fedor outstruck and submitted Hunt.
Defeated Matt Lindland, olympic caliber wrestler with tons of experience and ranked in top 3 MW division at the time.
Defeated Hong Man Choi, K1 striker.
Defeated Tim Sylvia, former UFC HW champion, tons of experience, and many believed that Sylvia would KO Fedor. Fedor choked out Sylvia.
Defeated Andrei Arlovski, former UFC HW champion, and junior sambo champion. KO'd Arlovski.

He's beaten some tough guys but his last 2 fights have been outdone by Rogers & Ray Mercer. Fedor's great, but I'm pissed that he didn't sign w/UFC. "I have nothing to prove"? Yes you do. A real champ is always testing himself to make sure he's still the best there is. Looks like he wanted no parts of Lesnar IMO. I think & hope Rogers Ks him TFO early.
He says he has nothing to prove because he's not trying to be the best, even though he is. He's doing this all for the money. It's a job for him, it's not passion.

Fedor owns part of M-1. Why would he insist on going against his own company? That would be a stupid business move. He's making great money as it is. Once M-1 goes down and his douchebag management lets him go, then he'll come to the UFC.
And Fedor's managmenet was in talks with UFC before Lesnar's entrance.
