Arlovski has the best chance?

Best Chance? AO. Do I think any of them will do it? Hell no.
Haha why is Mike Whitehead on this list?

I think anyone CAN beat Fedor, but they're going to have to fight a perfect fight with no mistakes. Fedor has shown time and time again, that the smallest opening will get you KO'd or subbed. The biggest threat is probably Overeem.

Best chance? AA, but he blew his only shot by commiting suicide into Fedor's right hand.

I think the guy with the best chance would be someone who's been in there with Fedor before. So out of this list I'd go with Grim or AA.

I really like AO's chances against Fedor. AO would still be the underdog, but he has a unique skill set that will present a lot of challenges for Fedor.
1) He's an excellent striker, especially from the clinch.
2) He's f---in' strong as hell. Speculation aside, the dude is a beastly man, and that helps out his clinch-game.
3) His wrestling is really underrated. He's won matches before based on his TD, notably the Buentello bout and Bazigit Atajev bout- who is a f---ing badass that nobody talks about. Gave Cung Le his only ever San Shou loss, and fought in K-1. Now, I know these guys aren't Fedor, but he has shown that his wrestling is quite good, something you need to stay out from underneath Fedor.
4) Best guillotine choke in the business. If he gets ahold of your neck on a TD you're going to go nighty-night.
Now, Fedor would still be the favorite undoubtedly, but can anyone say that there is a more compelling match up in the HW division besides Fedor v. a healthy Brock Lesnar?

Id like to see Fedor hand Overeem his roided out ***, which he would undoubtedly do stylishly, just so people would shut up about Fedor not fighting enough top contenders.

Where is the no one option.
There is no one at SF that can beat Fedor. That's why all the "haters" dont like Fedor at SF, because it's the easy way out. Of the guys that was listed I might say AA, but that would be foolish.

This thread is stupid. The fact that the number 1 fighter in the world isn't a champ is a f---in joke.

but neither is UFC, there is no HW that represent a real threat to fedor right now in the UFC, so it will be a debate all this time but botom line is neither the UFC or Strikeforce right now has to much diference in his HW divisions for fedor sothere you go

+1 He has as much a chance as my Aunt Flo. You are insulting Fedor by even uttering his name in the same breath.

I think Mir, with his new size and strength, could pose a threat. As would any of the 280 pound "athletes" over at UFC (Brock, Carwin).
And let's not forget that Rogers DID pose a threat to Fedor. Not from the jab that opened his cut, but from being pushed up against the cage, from taking knees to the legs, from guard. Rogers impressed me.
Fedor is virtually unbeatable if his opponent is his weight or less. Spot the guy 50+ pounds of quality size with rounded MMA skills and I guarantee you it's no sure thing for Fedor.
I'd be less worried if Fedor fought Anderson Silva that if he fought Brock Lesnar. I'd say Fedor would be a 4 to 1 favorite to beat Silva, but would be 1:1 against brock. Fedor's demise will come from a big guy who can ground and pound him.

sorry but i would bet more on anderson silva than brock lesnar, silva has alot more of fights under his belt, has fought top competition well lesnar just have 4 wins, it has to count for something with anderson silva favor over lesnar, i know weight is a factor to take under consideration but talent is as well and anderson silva has way more talent in mma than lesnar so for that i will give the edge to silva over lesnar in a match against fedor

i dont like brock but have you seen who he has fought compared to AS
Frank, Randy, Heath aren't top competition?
With the exception of hendo, marquardt, and franklin AS hasn't fought top competition either. I guess you could throw forrest in ther as well
