This looks like a Lesnar-Mir scenario where one guy fucked up on the ground and should still be favoured in the rematch.

What do you think Warlord, does Fedor come back to put a hurtin' on Werdum or does the Brazilian have his humber?

I think on paper Fedor wins the rematch. But we've never seen the man on the losing end, so we really don't know how he is going to respond to this loss.

Physically, from a skills point-of-view, Fedor is still the best heavyweight in the world. But his biggest strength has always been his mindset. If he truly believes the philosophy he is always talking, I think he will be fine. But does he? That's the real question.

I'll say it again. He panicked in that triangle. That's just the god's honest truth. He should've slammed his way out of it. I would've picked Werdum up and dumped him, just like Rampage did to Arona.

Even if you have to spike a dude to get out of a triangle, you do that shit. Better to lose by spiking your opponent and getting disqualified than to lose by tapping out. A DQ loss would've kept the Fedor mystique alive, and would've made future opponents think twice about slapping that triangle on.

A tap-out loss dis-spirits Fedor, and heartens the competition. Now we'll really see what he's made of.
