Fedor is out of prime and shouldn't be fighting. Prime Fedor vs. Cormier however? this is how it would go down:
Assuming Cormier doesn't get Zulu'd by Fedor (i know i know, chances are very slim, but still) and he manages to take Fedor down, this is what happens next: he's get armbarred. End of story.
Why? because there is no freaking way Cormier survives on top of a prime Fedor the way he fights on the ground.

Guess who else makes the same mistake?
Fighters these days....
Careful where you put your arm boys. It might get broken when you fight someone competent on the ground, such as...
Real pic. Not kidding.
Prime Fedor > all. If you try to debate this, you don't know the sport well enough.
