Let's just bring back Scott Smith and Evangelista Cyborg to fight one another in BKFC. I'm only half (maybe 3 quarters) kidding.After Johnson, Fedor has one more fight on his contract. I’ll cross my fingers that they can make a deal with Evangelista Cyborg or Scott Smith for you
Jokes aside, it really depends on who the opponent is. People say that if Fedor loses to Johnson, he’s losing to a no-name fighter. Personally, I think losing to an actual highly ranked HW is preferable than losing to an old MW like Machida. And Machida, being very elusive and a great counter-striker, is more problematic in some ways for Fedor than slowass, plodding Johnson is.
But yes: I’d rather he fought Werdum or JDS. But that horse left the barn, and Johnson makes a hell of a lot more sense than someone like Machida does.
We'll just have to agree to disagree on this one. I think the only route for Fedor at this point is to be fighting other guys in their 40s with no aspirations of becoming champion. I think giving him anybody else was a mistake and an injustice. I don't think I can get off that opinion.
