I'd like a rematch with Heath Herring. Herring always brings it and it would definately showcase Fedors skills to the ufc fans..

I really don't care what happens as long as we get to see Mirko Cro Cop v fedor part 2, maybe part 3 and part 4.

I'd love to see Fedor/Mirko 2 obviously.
I reckon they'll have him fight the UFC heavyweight champ ala Hendo/Page, which could mean Fedor vs. Randy, i would love to see that fight.

LOL, it's a slap in the face by the UFC if Fedor doesn't immediately get a title shot. Fedor will fight the current title holder if he comes to the UFC, hands down. There is no need seeing him destroy fighters like Assuerio "Boring" Silva.
UFC is most likely going to try to throw CroCop at him if Mirko has success. The rematch would headline the hell out of anything going on in the MMA world at the moment.
Fact is, he dominated Big Nog like a little kid. Mirko vs. Fedor was an unbelievable fight, but Fedor controlled all 3 rounds with the GnP. Herring would probably get submitted in the 1st round without breaking a sweat. I think a Barnett matchup would be ideal as well. Two submission fighters, would be fun.
I forsee Syliva retiring if Fedor comes, lol, he's already dodged him once. I don't see Sylvia getting far in HW anyways.

the hendo reference is a good one, theres no reason to have fedor fight anyone but the champion in his ufc debut. i really wanted to see him and barnett, but i guess that wont happen now just because of barnetts statements about ufc in the past. couture and fedor is a fight i want to see, i see it be a close matchup stylistically, and if fedor were to win and CC gets past kongo finally CC/fedor 2 should happen and thats the biggest fight you can put together in mma(except maybe chuck/wandy but thats lost some appeal with some people)

If he fights the winner of Randy/GG then that would mean the fight wouldn't be until Nov/Dec at best that is a long lay off between fights

Based on what they are doing with Henderson, he should fight the winner of GG/Couture.

Fedor has stated that Couture is one of his MMA idols. But the fact is, I think Fedor would submit Couture inside 3 minutes.
CroCop is a different situation. Fedor comes in, takes the belt, but CroCop has been saying he will retire after his fights are up. Would the UFC risk the belt possibly being taken by CC and then retiring, setting up a possible vacant championship spot? Doubt it. UFC hates to do that, and it's happened in other divisions with fighters signing with different organizations.

fedor should get the loser of couture/gonzaga. i dont think he should get an imediate title shot. he should fight at least once before. sylvia would be a good match up as well. cro cop would be unreal but i dont think would happen right of th bat.

It wasent Heaths Fault What Could you do if you had a 265+ guy on top of you doing nothing but lay and pray. you must not have see heath's pride fights go back and watch them then tell me he is boring. i dont know how much he would bring out fedors skills because there aint many people in MMA all together that will bring out fedors skills thats for sure
