I suppose, but the Cro Cop fight is one of the only fights ever where Fedor doesn't indiscriminately beserker his opponent. He did against Arlovski and AA frustrated him for a few minutes, until a ******ed flying knee and a glass chin did him in. Fedor swarmed Timmay pretty good, and he basically swarmed on Rogers as well. His base standing strategy is to let it all hang out very aggressively. He was more calculated in the Cro Cop fight, moving forward but catiously. He still had elements of "just swing baby" though.
I imagine he'd do something like that against Anderson as well. Cro Cop was the most feared striker in the world of MMA at that point, and Anderson is at this point. Fedor would be more cautious, but he can't change what he is fundamentally.
