a bad dude. I would love to see him in the UFC. Matching him against Florian, Penn, Edgar or Maynard would be huge. He walked through Huerta like no one has. The dude is a beast.
Just shows how there is plenty of other good talent outside of the UFC, no matter what Dana White would say.
With Shields in the UFC now, I would say Alvarez is the guy I would rate highest among non UFC fighters. Obviously I consider Aldo part of the UFC. And I think Ben Askren would give anyone in the world trouble at 170 including GSP. I would love to see that fight. Can GSP stop those take downs? If he does, he wins easily but it wouldn't be an easy task. Maybe we should start a thread. Best P4P non UFC/WEC fighters: 1) Eddie Alvarez 2) Nick Diaz 3) Fedor Emelianenko 4) Gilbert Melendez 5) Ben Askren
Probably. Having Diaz ahead of Fedor is probably stupid. But I honestly think Fedor is at the end of it.
He is definately at the tail end of his career, although he really hasn't looked BAD as of late. Just made a dumb mistake and he paid for it.
Fedor has very little upside at this point in his career. Not that he isn't a great fighter, he certainly is. I just doubt he's interested in fighting more than a few more times. The end is near for Fedor.
I agree with this. It must me hard to get motivated for fights after being in the business for over a decade, having accomplished so much, and having all the money you need.
