Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Ricco Rodriguez thinks he's the man to beat Fedor. Ridriguez lost the UFC heavyweight belt to Tim Silvia at UFC 41, a guy who Fedor knocked out in 36 seconds. Rodriguez at the time had a 5 fight win streak at the time which include wins over Randy Couture, Andre Arlovski and Jeff Monson but after losing to Silvia, he lost another 2 straight and never fought for UFC since. Rodriguez (36-11) may have sick BJJ but if Fedor was able to beat Nogueira twice, Rodriguez has no chance. Same for him against Lesnar. Mir couldn't do the job, Ricco wont either. Also keep in mind this guy was on Celebrity Rehab for an addiction to weed and the coca,...“I’m serious about being a factor in this division. First and foremost I want my belt back. I know Lesnar is a huge guy but I’ve noticed several holes in his top game during his last fight that I could capitalize on. Yeah he beat Mir, but Frank Mir doesn’t possess the level of jiu-jitsu I have, which is really needed to neutralize the size advantage of Brock. Personally I don’t get the hype, I think I was more impressive against Randy than Lesnar was, it looked like Randy was breaking him mentally until he landed the last shot… Yeah I’ve been approached about [fighting Fedor Emelianenko], nothing’s final yet but that’s a fight I would definitely want. I know people will say I don’t have a chance, but I destroyed the guy who handed Fedor his only loss. Fedor is a great fighter but, the training I’ve done at Wolfslair has improved my game tremendously so I think I’ve got a great shot at beating him.”
I think he sucks
