I have seen Fedor fight when I was staying with a mate in the US and they had UFC on the TV, and also on Youtube.
In my judgment he wasnt much of a puncher, and seemed to rely on trying to frustrate the other guy into over attacking so he could put on a submission hold. These guys box with very light gloves and yet Fedor couldnt hurt most fighters I saw him against, nor could he throw combinations.
He struck me as a clever, good defensive fighter.
Probably a good tactic in MMA. But if he goes into a fight with a big lump like Lesner and tries to trade with him the chanes are he wont hurt him and will be hurt first. The guy has a decent record so he isnt going to fight a stupid fight - he wouldnt be 25-1 or whatever he is if he tried to stand toe to toe with bigger stronger fighters. He has to tie Lesner up, clinch a lot, jab and move - and let the big man wear himself out.
