Well, its correct that I dont know how long championship bouts are fought over... but I assume its more than 3 round exhibitions!
On topic about this fight, I believe that Fedor will carry the big American into the later rounds, and you will be able to see for yourself how well weight lifting prepares you for a real fight.
The fact that Lesner won ONE college championship in 4 years (a great achievment for an amatour and a kid, but not exactly marking his as the greatest ever) shows he has potential
But anyone who play or follows sports knows that even great potential as a youth doesnt always migrate into success as a senior. I have quite a few mates you played youth team football attached to professional teams... I have one mate who went on to have a professionl career, and he wasnt the best youth team player by a mile.
Lesner had potential... and he turned his back on it, became an actor rather than a sportsman when he couldnt make it in the pro game... through some "mysterious" training method he came out absolutely huge (but he never failed a drug test!) Tried to play football, showed some potential but got cut, ended up in MMA, and went 2-1 against real fighters and beat a couple of tomato cans and got given a belt.
Thats what you get for being a succesfull actor. He still plays the part in MMA - making silly promo's and playing the heel, even though he is in a real sport he is playing the part he learned in WWF (assuming the two wins he had were legit of course, and that Mir or Coutre didnt lay down)
Fedor ISNT a big puncher, and he isnt a strong man - but he is a clever awkard Russian with that slippery upright style - and he will pick Lesner to pieces. I repeat that I generally fear that Lesner is so bulked up, and his physique is unsuited to a real fight, that he will put his health in serious danger against a real fighter like Fedor unless he has the common sene to quit on his stool when he knows in his heart he has nothing left to give (expect this will happen round 8 at a guess), or the "MMA Equivalent" of round 8 if the UFC have some "5 minute round rule"
In 5 min rounds I predict he taps out or quits at the end of round 5 on his stool
