Who can knock off the Fab 4?

I was contemplating doing the judging in MMA as my blog today but decided to go in another route. Which one of the Big 4 in MMA (Anderson Silva, Georges St. Pierre, Fedor Emelianenko, BJ Penn) is most likely to get knocked off there perch at the top of there weight class.

For Anderson "The Spider" Silva, he has already dismantled the entire UFC middleweight division and has crushed both James Irvin and Forrest Griffin at LHW. The next guy he faces is Vitor Belfort, who looks like he has gone back to the Vitor of old. But I still think Silva will get through "The Phenom" and look for other people to destroy, his biggest challenge actually may come from Welterweight kingpin Georges St. Pierre.

The next I choose to examine on this list of four is Georges "Rush" St. Pierre. GSP has not lost a round since he lost to Matt Serra at UFC 69. If he doesn't finish you he will wail on you for five rounds and dominate you where you are strong. GSP's next match up is against Brit Dan "The Outlaw" Hardy (Good luck Dan, your going to need a couple truck fulls of it f you want to hang with GSP). GSP has pretty much done what Silva has done in clearing out his division and is now against fighters that are not up there with guys like Fitch and Alves. The only challenging fight I see that would get a big crowd is Anderson Silva vs GSP because that will be close to a push on the betting lines.

Next is "The Prodigy" BJ Penn. As long as Penn is at 155 he is unstoppable, however this is one of the divisions that many people feel that the UFC does not own the majority of the Top 10 fighters, but anyone in that weight class knows that they are probably going to fall to Baby Jay.
BJ's next fight is against Diego "Nightmare" Sanchez, this will probably be a bit faster than his last fight vs. Kenny Florian, he won't mess around and will stop Sanchez quick.

The last guy on this list is "The Last Emperor" Fedor Emelianenko. This may be the person most likely to fall, but not soon. Fedor ducked the tougher competition of the UFC and went to Strikeforce to take on what little resistance the guys there can mount. Also, in Fedor's last two matches, he has looked less then stellar until he landed a huge bomb to both Andrei Arlovski and Brett Rogers. The match everyone wants to see at Heavyweight is Fedor vs Brock Lesnar, however, this will have to wait until Strikeforce destroys itself due to the black plague of MMA M-1 Global. M-1 Global insists on co-promotion and it has been a downfall of where ever they have been.

That's the way I see it and have fun watching these guys fight
