Who's going to be the first to beat Fedor?

The Arlovski fight coming up has got me thinking. I don't think Arlovski has what it takes to win, and personally think it's a terrible stylistic match up for him. But Fedor has got to lose eventually (anyone that counts that first 'loss' is an idiot), who do you think is going to be the one to beat him?
I personally think Barnett has all the tools to beat him. If he can mentally pull himself together(he already ducked Fedor once), he could definitely put up an extremely competitive fight and come out with a win. Physically, the guy is a monster. One of the few that Fedor would not be able to muscle around, and he's not exactly slow, I don't see Fedor having much of a speed advantage here. While his striking does have a lot of holes in it, he has knockout power and I don't think would be absolutely dominated by Fedor standing. If he tried to keep the fight standing for some reason, Fedor would undoubtedly knock him out. Barnett would be able to get the fight to the mat with superior wrestling, and Fedor isn't exactly known for great take down defense. On the ground I really think Barnett could sub Fedor. He has good enough ground control to stay on top and drop a couple bombs to soften him up, and then go for one of his famous leg locks. I know Fedor comes from a Sambo background, but I think the way to submit him would be with a leg lock.
Of course there is always the problem of Barnett's cardio, and Fedor not being human and all. I'd say Barnett via Kneebar late in round 1.

Arlovski. Fedor would break Barnett because he's already beat him mentally.

Also, I'm obligated to say that Bart Lesnar would beat him.

Why do you think Arlovski can beat him?

Also lets be serious here, Lesnar wouldn't make it out of the first 30 seconds with Fedor.

Honestly it's just a gut feeling. I think that AA is definitely capable of beating Fedor if he comes in properly prepared, and I feel like he's going to come in to this fight that way.

Also Brock would eat Fedor.

You're delusional. Brock has no chance against Fedor. Fedor isn't a 45 year old with a suspect chin. In what aspect of MMA is Brock better in? Striking? Not a chance, Couture outstruck Brock. And Brock doesn't have nearly enough power to KO Fedor with his sloppy ass striking. Fedors been hit by the biggest and best in the game (Fujita, HMC, Crocrop, etc) and has never been beaten. Fujita even essentially knocked him out, and he was still able to recover and win the fight. Grappling? Brock has better wrestling of course and would be able to take Fedor down, but then what? Fedor has faced better wrestlers(Coleman, Randleman) and has come out on top. Fedor would submit him, or sweep him and pound him out. There is absolutely no way Brock could win this fight. Why would you think someone as new to the sport as Brock even has a chance against the best fighter in the history of the sport while he is still in his prime? Give Brock a few years of getting better and Fedor a few years of getting older and he might have a shot, but right now there isn't a chance in hell that Brock would make it out of the first round.

Brock would destroy him in the first round via gogoplata while simultaneously knocking him unconscious with him lunch box hand.

(On a more serious note Randleman and Coleman are not better wrestlers than Brock, maybe on par with him though.)

Fedor can't lose. Fact.

Fedor has a loss. Fact.

I don't care if it was bullshit or not, it's a mark in the loss column.
