Ive seen it but I cant even compare Hunt and Lesner. Lesner is a completely different athlete with a differnt skill set.

LOL - we can literally go all day with this. It's just a match I would pay top dollar to see...but Fedor will always get my vote until proven otherwise. It's no different then the Manny vs. Floyd debate in boxing.

Agreed....you gotta admit a guy that's been only training in mma for 3 years to do what he did to Mir and Couture is something only a freak of nature could do. He fought guys that have been doing mma all thier lives and made them look bad. Didn't matter how much more they knew about mma.

I don't really see it, either. I don't mean Fedor isn't good, he is obviously great, but he has beaten up on prior UFC HW champs who were on top when the division was terribly weak.

I didn't mean it to be a shot at Dana, and I'm glad the UFC is so well run so it's not as decrepit as boxing's become.
But Dana comes across as a Czar at times and I wonder how long it'll be before some fighters become tired of being so heavily under his foot.
