I wasn't talking about the Hendo fight, Hendo isn't a journeyman

Prediction: Mitrione  |  KO/TKO  |  Round 1

Reread it. Fabio Maldonaldo carries around a lot of fat and is a natural middleweight even if he has always fought at light heavyweight.

The ref didn't stop the fight, though pretty much any competent ref would have. He sustained a lot of unnecessary damage. The decision was shady as hell and it shows how far gone Fedor is. His prime is long past and I am worried that a larger, faster, more athletic heavyweight is going to hurt him. 

This is not a popular opinion, and that's fine, but he shouldn't be fighting in 2016. 4 to 5 years ago he still would have destroyed Mitrione, but based on how he's looked and his age and wear and tear I have no faith in his ability to get the job done.

Yeah I see Mitrione stunning him early but could go either way.

But

How can you say it was a bad no stoppage when he came back and won the next 2 rounds? Was Browne/Overeem a bad no stoppage? was Smith/sell a bad no stoppage? Edgar/Maynard? Leben/Martin? Lesnar/Carwin, Berry/Kongo? Duffee Russow? Lawler Manhoef? Rua/Henderson? C'mon man use your head.

It was a bad non stoppage because Fedor took 9000 significant strikes and wasn't defending himself. He literally stumbled across the cage with his back to Maldonado. Can't say that about most of the fights you listed.

Each fight is different and arguments can be made for many of those fights.

Prediction: Mitrione  |  KO/TKO  |  Round 1

But we are not talking about those fights. We are talking about a fight that very clearly should have been stopped.

Uh, what? Fedor took one big shot against Fujita and wasn't dropped. Against Maldonado he got dropped, took a ton of follow up shots on the ground, then barely got back up and stumbled across the cage. The two fights weren't similar at all.

That's just like, your opinion, man

We can all agree to disagree. But at the end of the day as long as Bellator makes Fedor vs Wandy this signing has been a success.

StreamFan68 .... what? It means I think Mitrione could knock him out early but I could also see Fedor winning?

Fedor is definitely not the same as several years ago as the maxima exponent of the MMA, but definitely still has much to offer and will be a fight that no one wants to miss.
I think that Fedor will be the winner, he has more resources at his disposal at the time of combat and if he loses, it will probably be for a strong KO.

I haven't picked against Fedor yet so I guess I will keep rolling with that but would not be shocked if meathead gets a finish

Prediction: Mitrione  |  KO/TKO  |  Round 1

I favor Mitrione here because Fedor nearly got finished by a decent LHW last time in Maldonado. I know it's a small sample size, but it's enough considering his only other win since coming back was Jaideep Singh. It'd be cool to see Fedor win, but I can't pick him in good confidence. 


I think if Maldonado nearly KO'd him, Mitrione can do it fairly easily if Fedor can't get him down.

Has he signed for more than one fight?

yes

2 fight deal with Mutual Option for a 3rd. He's not getting any easy fights.
