Oldschool HW Top 10 VS Currently Ranked

[Verace]

Who would win this battle?

Old School Top 10:
Fedor
Nog
Cro cop
Lesnar
Barnett
Arlovsky
Sylvia
Sergei
Mir
Couture


Current:
Stipe
Werdum
Cain
Overeem
JDS
Rothwell
Ngannou
Hunt
Lewis
Struve

Suppose these were randomly matched up 10 times. And each time we count which team had more wins.

How many times does the current roster beat the oldschool guys (or vice versa)?

I don't think Brock Lesnar fits into old school.

New school wins about 80 % of the time.

Lesnar hardly belongs in the sport. Scrap him with Igor

Going with the order that TS put, I know it doesn't mean that much but I just wanted to do this.

Old School Top 10:
Fedor vs Stipe - Fedor wins
Nog vs Werdum - Werdum wins
Cro cop vs Cain - Cain wins
Lesnar vs Overeem - we saw what happened
Barnett vs JDS - JDS wins
Arlovsky vs Rothwell - Arlovski wins
Sylvia vs Ngannou - Ngannou wisn
Sergei vs Hunt - I don't feel like Hunt is new gen but I think he takes it, very even fight tho
Mir vs Lewis - Mir wins
Couture vs Struve - Couture wins

I'd say is pretty even

 

[BigMuffler]

New school has maybe slightly better top few guys but old school is more consistently solid, pretty even.

 

[faustian]

Old school via murder

I would switch Lesnar with Alex Emalianenko he was legit.

Ngannou is still mystery to me. He seems very good but he didnt fight anyone ranked high yet. I think he wins against Lewis easy, I would like to see Ngannou vs Roy Nelson. He is probably best HW gatekeeper of all time.

Cain beats cro cop = new wins
Overeem old school beats brock new school=old wins

Mir beats Struve = old wins

I'm glad my post started a thought that sparked this thread.

The fact we're even having this conversation shows how utterly badass fedor emelienenko was
