Who is the better opponent for Fedor ?

[Hey Soos]

Since Fedor is going to return to Moscow this year in October. Rumors have been circling around that he'll face either Alistair Overeem or Junior Dos Santos. I feel as though the tougher opponent would be Overeem since he had a decent run in the HW division recently defeating Oleynik and Sakai in brutal fashion meanwhile JDS seems washed up and is on a 4 fight losing streak. If I was Fedor I would probably choose JDS since it will be another UFC champion on his record and IMO more easier since his chin is paper mache now.

 

[Draxton]

I think JDS is more his speed at this point. Overeem is still good and all and I think would dominate him.

 

[Pitier of Fools]

Agree. Right now JDS is the easier fight. Either of those fights would have been phenomenal like 8 years ago. Right now, nobody cares.

 

[2004 account]

I want barnett or jds for him. Imagine he beats both by ko and retires , that would be a sweet ending to his career. Ideally he would have retired already though imo. He has nothing left to prove and already set the goat bar so high with his championship run that i doubt anyone will beat it soon.

 

[BFoe]

I agree. JDS is probably the more favorable fight.

 

[executionermma]

Idk about JDS being washed, it was just about 2 years ago that he stopped Lewis, who has been on a hot streak since and is now fighting for the interim belt.
JDS loses: Ngannou (champion), Gane (fighting for interim, elite striker), Jairzinho in a fight in which he looked good early and Blaydes. Nothing but top 6~ there. I love Fedor, but i have to favor JDS here.

Josh Barnett has to be the easiest and most stylistically favorable big name match up out there.

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

He should prolly try and get Liddell at this stage

 

[Dan Torrance]

JDS

I still care.

 

[scottjoebob]

Overeem has the threat of a takedown , so JDS would be better as Fedor wouldnt have to pay attention to the threat of a takedown .

 

[Dan Torrance]

I'd like to see Fedor continue to beat former UFC champs until the end of time.

 

[ExitLUPin]

JDS or Sergei. Sergei is the one HW from his era he missed out on. Barnett pissed hot and fucked up the fight. Ricco never happened. Couture ducked him. He basically fought every other top HW from his era.

 

[Unfinished]

Fedor vs winner of Conor McGregor vs Dustin Poirier and at 220 lbs catchweight would be crazy.

 

[Kono dio da!]

Fedor vs overeem please.

 

[Surveillance State]

I'd prefer Kharitonov or Barnett. I'm too big of a Fedor fan to watch him fight Overeem at this point. JDS would be interesting but Fedor's chin is gone. I think JDS would catch him late in the 1st.

Overeem signed to Glory he isn't doing MMA anymore at least now

 

[Dan Torrance]

GSP vs Fedor 2023

 

[Slaikkaaja]

Overeem. That's the fight I want to see, it's also the tougher fight for Fedor.

 

[HHJ]

Hasnt the REEM gone to Glory?

so sergei or barnett would be fine w me

Would Barnett fight him? It sounds like they were good pals once on Rogan's show.

Damn Sergei would get that revenge for Team Red Devil

He signed to fight him during Affliction so I assume so
