Strange Famous makes a fairly valid point, hell, looking at the Sylvia fight you'd note that he has only 6 KO's in his 27 victories. Granted he has posterized Arlovski, and completely rocked Sylvia, but Fedor really is more into using his Sambo to take the fight to the ground and ripping people's arms off.
Fedor isn't an elite striker. He is not a Muay Thai style striker, he has an un-orthodox boxing style which is serviceable, he has very solid ground and pound.
I don't know how that would play against Brock, as Lesnar would have 50 pounds on Fedor and be virtually immune to any takedowns. I don't know if Fedor's striking would do much against Brock unless he employed Couture's dirty boxing/clinch techinque, as he is probably giving up at least 6 inches in reach minimum. I think you are delusional if you think Fedor is going to be able to submit Brock. Fedor really doesn't utilize Ju-Jitsu style submissions, he is just a calm fighter with a granite chin, when the fight between him and Lesnar gets to the ground I see a repeat of what happened to Mir; Brock controlling him outside guard and mauling him like a grizzly bear.
