Fedor VS Lesnar (comparison)

This photoshop (if you can call it that) was made by one excited fan of Brock Lesnar following his first MMA fight against an unranked opponent.

 

This happens all the time; Any fighter who wins a high profile fight is instantly compared to the No. 1 fighter in the world.

 

Remember when Tim Sylvia called Fedor Emelianenko a p****, and claimed that he'd match-up well with Fedor? How about Chuck Liddell promising a KO over Fedor (you can view all the above interviews on youtube)?

 

How about Gonzaga hype? Even Mike Whitehead claimed he'd beat Fedor after his win over Mark Kerr. The latest in this interesting and 100 percent idiotic trend is the comparison between Lesnar and Fedor. Well, here are facts:

 

 

How did Fedor fair against world class wrestlers?

 

 

Mark Coleman

 

Coleman used to be around 250lbs, only about 15 lbs smaller than Brock Lesnar. Mark was an NCAA wrestling champion just like Brock, except Mark was also a World Champion wrestler (not the fake kind), and an Olympian (both of which Lesnar is not ).

 

Mark was also ranked top three in MMA at the time of his first fight with Fedor, while Lesnar is unranked and was recently defeated by an unranked fighter.

 

Fedor made Coleman submit in a couple of minutes—twice.
