Pick one fighter from the history of MMA with current MMA training....

[JustOnce]

I pick Hidehiko Yoshida.

Was a Judo Olympic champion at 23.

This guy went toe to toe with PRIDE Wanderlei Silva at his very peak, with no single fuck given.
The best Judo one trick of all time
Fought Barnett, Wanderlei, Crocop
This guy fought at welterweight in Judo then fought at heavyweight in MMA years later, so if he transitioned after the olympics like maybe Ishii, this guy could have fought at welterweight.

If he could have trained some BJJ, because I think this guy just didn't train BJJ at all, and actually striking coach, this guy could have held his own against anyone, I think. Granite chin + Best Judo + Mental Toughness , some extra striking coaching and BJJ training = the world champion.

[I WILL CUT YOU]

Fedor for sure. GOAT training on a playground in the Russian foothills.

 

[JustOnce]

[John makfresshi]

Igor with a nutritionist

 

[Khabib Fan]

Prime Frank Shamrock with current MMA training would be GOAT

 

[THEfightsAREfixed]

Fedor for sure. GOAT training on a playground in the Russian foothills.

I dunno man if you watch his training montages from his prime he was on that high level Russian shit and he was in the military so learned from their regimens I would imagine

 

[Ananth]

Fedor in his prime would be HW champ and P4P no.1 even in todays standards. I can't imagine him with the science of training today.

He probably wouldn't be as good with all the science and modern training, but thats what made him so good.

 

[Bumblebeef]

Tony Ferguson

 

[jojoRed]

Bas Rutten.

 

[neXt leVel]

 

[JustOnce]

Tony Ferguson

But hes like prime right now lol

 

[Readybodisready]

Fedor with modern training would get knocked out by even more MW´s.

 

[Killashaw]

Ronda Rousey's Judo + Valentina Shevchenko's Muay Thai + Cris Cyborg's Strength and Conditioning = move over DC there's a new baddest (wo)man in town.

 

[SCTwins]

Imagine Rampage with a BJJ game.

 

[HHJ]

Its really a nonsense thread. current mma training? what does that even mean? If a young Pedro Rizzo fought today hed still knock alot of people out with only just what he had back then. Yoshida would probably fight exactly the same now as he did back then. The guy didnt have a lack of training,he fought exactly how he wanted to fight.

 

[90 50]

Pat Smith with current training and a good life coach lol

Fuggin’ Explosive

 

[Xaero]

Fedor's brother Aleks.

 

[HHJ]

Fedor's brother Aleks.

He didnt have a lack of training back then,neither did Fedor.
