Now the winner of Lesnar and Carwin will be the undisputed #1 heavyweight.

I'd love to see it. This gets the loss monkey off his back. He's no less dangerous and I still think he has a lot to offer.

I've always had a soft spot for Mirko as a fighter - I think he just wasn't too into fighting with UFC early on, and his style doesn't flow well with the UFC which tends to be more grappling oriented. not that i'm denying he got knocked the F out...(badly) in that one. It was a sad day.

I agree he coasted on a mythical status too long and the dangerous thing about that is when you fail to back it up there isn't many places to go but down. At this stage he's at the twilight of his career and chances to evolve are slim. Its a crying shame M1 stood in the way of some potentially great fights.

That we did Campbell...that we did...but when ur mythos is the Unbeatable Fighter and u loose...what's that do to credibility! The problem with Fedors popularity...is thay only true MMA fans know who he is...the average MMA fan is stuck on the UFC fighters...and aren't convinced of his reputation for the simple fact he didn't fight for Dana White...honestly I think Fedor needs to loose M1 (but doubt it cuz he a part owner of it) and fight in the UFC to bring him back to the limelight....

Yeah he does....I wouldn't mind seeing the rematch of him n Werdum or simply fight Overeem...but don't wait a whole damn year to do it...get back in the ring quick...I ain't gonna lie I would definitely pay to watch Fedor fight Brock!

I think its crazy to build any fighter up as 'unbeatable' its just setting someone up to fall. There hasn't be a fighter yet who has lived up to that. M1's game plan was always going to blow up in their face. Honestly I thought cracks were showing in Fedor's game when he fought Arlofski. But I still agree, I think he could do some damage in the UFC. I just worry the fans have been robbed of some of the better fights...I mean 3 years ago him and couture? Money. Now......hmmm not sure on that.

Don't blink....

Pff..you guys are all reading too much into this loss for Fedor. He's still the best in the world. He just got too eager in finishing the dude and got caught by a BJJ expert. It was so early in the fight, that it means nothing...not to take anything away from Werdum.

Kung Li was beast..Cyborg destroyed that chick....good stuff. Fedor made a rare and stupid mistake...not so good stuff.
