I think there are so many different ways this fight can play out that it's hard to say one for sure.
I have read on different sites such as sherdog where a lot of guys are expecting for Fedor to "Zulu" Bigfoot.. now I think it's possible that Fedor could Zulu Bigfoot but I don't really see it happening like that. I don't expect Bigfoot to come out and stand in front of Fedor like he did against Kyle. I think he will learn from his mistakes. It's pretty much safe to say there is a difference between getting tagged on the chin by Fedor and getting tagged on the chin by Kyle. If Fedor hits Bigfoot like that Bigfoot is done for.
A lot of credit isn't begin given to Bigfoot. And I understand it. But I expect Bigfoot to take this fight to the ground. He is going to want to duplicate what he did in the second round against Kyle. It's easier said than done. But there are big guys who are big and then there are big guys who know how to use their size. Bigfoot knows how to use his size and I expect him to try to take Fedor down and mount him/pound him/sub him. That has to be Bigfoot's focus for this fight. He is going to try to impose his will and win the fight by finish or decision. Something tells me Bigfoot would be happy just to get the win. If he wins 2 out of 3 rounds by cage control I think it would have been a successful fight for him..
Bigfoot could also try to press Fedor against the cage and use knees like Rogers.
Now on to Fedor!
We have covered it already but I expect Fedor to be very aggressive in this fight. I expect him to try to "Zulu" Bigfoot. Fedor is going to have a major speed advantage. He needs to use footwork and come at Bigfoot and try to tag him quickly and tag him hard. Fedor punches in swarms and bunches and if he tags Bigfoot I think the fight is over. I think Fedor is going to want to keep this fight standing. Bigfoot isn't going to be as big of a threat of his back as Werdum was but I imagine Fedor would still be cautious. Fedor could try to implement a takedown or two but for the most part he's going to try to take Bigfoot's head off as quickly as possible.. and I think he will. And if Bigfoot takes Fedor down he needs to be careful because Fedor has been known to pull crazy submissions off his back.
Winner = Fedor TKO Rd. 2
