I can't wait to see how the small weight cut will make him look.  He really could rejuvinate his career if he changed camps and faught in the proper weight class.

@Kalibo: I don't think there has been any official indication that Fedor will be making a weight cut. From everything I've seen, the fight with Henderson is going to be at HW, so I would guess they're both going to weight in the 220-230 range, with Fedor having maybe 10lbs on Henderson.

I would like to see him attempt a cut to 205lbs while he still has a few years of good conditioning left. I don't want to see him fighting guys like Velasquez, Dos Santos, or Lesnar.

To the topic at hand, however, I think Fedor would beat Randy pretty handily at this stage of their respective careers. Randy's career is obviously over, but even a year ago I don't think he could've done much to threaten Fedor. When this fight was first being talked about back in 2007-08, I had them closer to even. Randy was a beast in 2007.

@Skelliher The contracted weight is 220lbs which would be 10-15 pound cut for Fedor.  I thought I posted an update on that.

@Kalibo: You very well may have and I just missed it. I thought the contracted weight was at least 220lbs, meaning the lower limit, but I haven't done any research on it.

@skeet: It had a lot more to do with offering Fedor cash. Neither side can be completely believed in a situation like this, but overall the main point of contention in Fedor negotiations with the UFC has been M-1's desire to co-promote with the UFC, something that is never going to happen.
