How can you call Fedor the best fighter in the world (right now) when in his last against the Middleweight Matt Lindland he had to grab the rope in order to not get taken down. I think he probably would have still won the fight, but it would not have been in such convincing fashion.

Not to mention the fact that he has been fighting less than impressive opponents in the past two or three years. Sure he has beat some of the best fighters in the world in the past but that is in the past. His managers want to be able to have final say in who he fights because they don't want him to loose. He signed to a promotion that basically bowed down to his managers wishes and will have his Red Devil partners fighting on the same cards as him.

I think 2008 will be an important year for Fedor. We will all get to see what M1 is going to do and who they will match their premier fighter with. I get the distinct feeling that they are more interested in inflating his record and building him up to be some kind of super hero than actually testing him against real competition.

My call for the best p4p figher out there right now is Anderson Silva. I would put GSP right up there too and certainly he would be the recognized best fighter had he not been caught by Serra.

That's just my two cents.
