    i think fedor vs. rogers, and vs. overeem are both big draws, especially on free tv.  if he can survive those (should dominate @ least rogers), who knows.  maybe he'll reconsider the ufc in a year or so.

    in my opinion, cro cop vs. lesnar would be huge!!!  i'm hoping cro cop becomes a star again.  also, shogun is +350 against machida.  would you consider that bet?

    i read the rumor that said, vitor vs. fedor.  i'm almost shocked!!!  fedor vs. lesnar seems like a worthy final chapter to his legendary fight career.
