who would win and how?
and can this matchup ever happen?
impossible matchup cause of the size difference, even if they were the same Fedor would kill him
the guy is just too talented
Yeah, Matt would visit a hiospital.
But I do think Matt would hold up pretty well in a heavier weight class. He’s freakishly strong. I don’t know if he’s ready for Franklin but I think he’d destroy most 185ers.
Matt isn’t rangy enough to strike with someone like Franklin…he’d have his moments but he’d eat to many punches trying to get to Rich…And in the world where Fedor and Matt are the same weight ..matt just doesn’t hit hard enough to tangle with fedor…
Fedor would destroy him. Fedor is the best fighter in the world. Period.
Fedor is a complete animal and as the poster above has said. The best fighter in the world BAR NONE.
Fedor and Matt are the present and Future of MMA but there is a hell of a weight difference and Fedor is way to explosive and dominating period…
You could drop Sylvia and Arlovski in a cage with Fedor and I bet you Fedor is the only one who walks out of there
Hughes is a beast…haven’t seen Emelianko though so I can’t give an informed opinion…damn Hughes…he killed my Gracie…

[/quote]ok…it’s oficial…Emelianko is a superbeast!!! The man is intense!!! if he misses he just slams you…His recovery time is phenominal!!! he knows he misses instantly and its like he stops and slams dude to the mat…that is crazy!!! :coolclick: thanks…
i reckon a lot of US MMA fans are not very familiar with Pride FC and its fighters such as Emelianenko and so on. Check out this highlight of Pride FC..in my opinion its the premier organisation in MMA at the moment.

What out even watching I know that Pride is 2nd to none Cool Click for the footage
Fedor is way to sloppy, he’d get dominated by boring hughes
And things like that are why noone takes Sheps seriously 
Your a bit of a nob aint you?
Grow up little boy.
;D
As tough as Fedor is, I still think Tyson or Holyfield would win the stand-up exchange.
the whole boxers equal great strikers thing just doesn’t compute…Yes I understand that to train in boxing helps ones striking, but to me the styles used by a professional boxer in a boxing match is completely different than the striking styles used by many of the top MMA strikers not to mention being punched with 12-16 ounce gloves is totally different than being hit with 4 ounces or bare fist.
that’s true, but stand-up exchanges between mma guys are always so much sloppier than between boxers. A boxer would be far tougher to hit with and would connect far more…with 4oz gloves. MMA guys just flail away aimlessly. Boxers strike with far greater precision and control. Remember, I’m only talking stand-up…
I agree to the casual fan people think that you can teach a Boxer a Few subs and takedowns and they will be unstoppable…People who are avid fans or people like me who train in it or do it understand its a whole other dynamic.
Remember Boxing Equals Punching with the fist only.
MMA striking by defenition is Punching ,kicking, knees, elbows, headbutts(when allowed)etc..
