Fedor would be a great foe to Brock's heel image. Interesting point Greg. Fedor would be a great foe to Brock’s heel image.

I think that Dana will get Fedor into the UFC this time. The last big push was to put him up against Couture. Dana was correctly not interested in taking his most popular fighter, Captain America, and putting him into the cage with the big bad Russian. That narrative only works if Fedor is the bad guy, and that's not the case. With Brock, we have a certified villian, hated by fans and disliked by fighters. The narrative is changed now, and I think it makes sense to bring Fedor in as the quiet, unassuming knight to slay the big bad dragon. Providing he beats Barnett, Fedor will make his UFC debut in the first half of 2010. Nice article Steve. I think that Dana will get Fedor into the UFC this time.

I think Fedor will sign with affliction again and be allowed to fight in Stikeforce as an affliction fighter if they go under soon. Dana White has been bad mouthing Fedor so much over the last year that I think Fedor is going to stay F-U and be with Strikeforce/Affliction. Great article!
