I would agree with this…so I assume you meant Brock would do same to Fedor? 
I don’t think Randy had much to offer Fedor at all though, personally. Hell, Randy didn’t have much for a broken Nog.

I don’t see any path to victory for Randy against fedor. Specially not in the pride ring. There’s literally nothing he’s doing to fedor lmao

Randy was walking around Affliction like a badass trying to hype the Fedor fight. Then Fedor beat Tim in 36 secs after Randy couldn’t do shit to hurt Tim for 25 mins. Then did some chicken shit, got lawyers and promoters involved, completely dodged and never talked about the fight again.

Would’ve just looked like Cain v Lesnar with an easy Fedor win

No way Fedor defends Brocks takedowns like Cain did. Fedor was taken down by every wrestler he ever fought basically. Middleweight Chael dumped him. Fedor doesn’t bounce up like Cain did.
Now the punches to Brocks face and sub attacks are a different story.

I think a prime Fedor lands on the button the first time Brock shoots in and swarms him for the TKO. I don’t think Brock even gets a chance to take him down. Even if he did, Fedor was a Sambo world champ for years and one of the best Combat Sambo practitioners in history, a sport he did as a hobby lol. I think he’d do just as well as Cain from a grappling standpoint.
Fedor was wayyyy out of his prime when he fought Chael. We’re talking PRIME Fedor here. People forget, man! Prime Fedor is a different beast and would’ve shit on Lesnar, imo.

How the Fight Likely Plays Out
The fight features two highly probable outcomes, deeply dependent on who survives the opening two minutes of the first round.
Scenario 1: Fedor via TKO or Submission (The Majority Consensus)
Most analysts and hardcore MMA fans during that era favored Emelianenko due to his composure and Lesnar’s known weaknesses.
- Exploiting Lesnar’s Striking Weakness: Lesnar famously hated getting hit and reacted poorly to striking pressure (as later exposed by Shane Carwin and Cain Velasquez). Fedor possessed some of the fastest, most explosive casting punches in heavyweight history. If Fedor landed a heavy right hand early, Lesnar likely would have panicked or turtled up.
- The Sambo/Submission Threat: Even if Lesnar used his massive size to take Fedor down, Fedor was incredibly dangerous off his back. He had a lightning-fast armbar (which he used to submit giant fighters like Hong Man Choi and Mark Hunt) and elite sweeps. Lesnar’s submission defense was still rudimentary at this stage of his career.
Scenario 2: Lesnar via Ground-and-Pound (The Size & Wrestling Factor)
Lesnar’s path to victory relied purely on overwhelming athleticism and a massive weight advantage.
- The Weight Discrepancy: On fight night, Lesnar would have had a 45-to-50 pound weight advantage over Fedor.
- Smothering Top Control: If Lesnar secured a double-leg takedown early, he had the wrestling pedigree to pin Fedor to the canvas. In his prime, Lesnar’s ground-and-pound was devastating—his giant hands (requiring size 4XL gloves) shattered Frank Mir’s face at UFC 100. If Fedor couldn’t find a submission from the bottom early, he risked being smothered and stopped by strikes.
The Verdict
While Lesnar’s physical attributes made him a threat to anyone, Fedor Emelianenko would have been heavily favored to win. Fedor was in the tail-end of his legendary 28-fight unbeaten streak and possessed the exact tools—elite submission skills, high-level judo hips to defend takedowns, and ferocious power—needed to expose Lesnar’s lack of striking experience.

Pride Fedor wins 8/10 times.
Fedor swarms him to win most of the time.
Brock gets in a dominant position on the ground to win by top control and GNP the other times.
Brock has to level up and use the cage like Khabib not a ring
Send him 2-3 years in Dagestan and forget

Sylvia fought like a moron. Rushed in and tried to brawl close quarters.
Should be called artificial retardation instead
Prime Brock beats more of the fighters that Fedor lost or had trouble with than the other way around. A tough call in a direct match up IMO, Fedor may get smothered, Brock may get caught…

Only intrigue about that fight was Randy being UFC Champion at the time.
As an opponent, fairly boring match-up TBH.
