Monson to Fight Fedor?

Will Monson be the first to take on the #1 fighter in the world Fedor Emelianenko? How will these two match up if they fight?

Fedor's first challenge in M-1 Global will probably be Jeff Monson, according to Monson. Jeff has stated that he is in talks with M-1, and the two parties are very close to cutting a deal. I personally can't imagine the two sides not agreeing on a deal due to the many times that Monson has stated that he wishes to fight Fedor.

Although Monson has lost 2 of his last 3 fights, he will not be an easy opponent for Emelianenko. Irish Whip Fighting ranks Monson the number five submission artist in the world (as seen here). However, in the end I think Fedor is just too much for him to handle. Fedor is the best in some aspects of MMA, and what he's not the best at he's really good at.

I'm looking forward to Fedor's M-1 debut, and I think that Monson would put up a good fight against him. How do you think "The Snowman" would match up against "The Last Emperor"?
Post your thoughts.

I don't see Monson faring well. He's large, yes, but he struggled against Tim Sylvia, who is JV compared to Fedor.

Ways Monson wins: Lucky punch or submission opportunity, uses size effectively, Fedor is killed by lightning on way to arena

Ways Fedor wins: every other possibility
