Which GOAT had the better performance when UFC and Affliction went head to head?

[Deleted member 549255]

On July 19 2008, Affliction’s Fedor vs Sylvia was counter programmed by UFC’s Silva vs Irvin.





Fedor was riding an incredible 24 fight win streak when he faced off against former UFC HW champ Tim Sylvia. Fedor dominated Sylvia on the feet before submitting him in 36 seconds.




Following his destruction of P4P GOAT Dan Henderson is less than 2 rounds, Anderson’s LHW debut was against feared striker James Irvin after 4 LHWs (Rashad, Thiago Silva, Vera, Jardine) declined to fight the Spider. That seemed to be the right move on their part as Silva bloodied and KO’d Irvin in 61 seconds.




Which GOAT had the more impressive performance on this stacked night of MMA?

You got the year wrong bro it wasn't in 2018.


But to answer your question both were great quick finishes. Fedor showed a bit more since he connected and submitted his opponent imo

Beating Sylvia at the time is alot more impressive than beating Irvin.

Both great performances

The Sandman was never the same after that loss... Anderson and Fedor took many souls.

He had epic KOs. One of my all time favourite fighters before the opiates got to him.

My personal favourite:

Then this happened...

Then it all went to shit...

(he kicked him afterwards too but I can't find it)

Anderson took Irvin’s soul.

Fedor took Sylvia’s soul.

At the time Fedor still had godlike status and that aura of invincibility.

 

[Stevanchez]

Sylvia was 24-4, the #4 ranked HW in the world, and a former 2x UFC HW champion. Beaten down and submitted in 38 seconds.

Irvin was 14-4, an unranked LHW, and his biggest claim to fame was KOing Houston Alexander. Sniped and TKOd in 60 seconds.

Going with the first one.

Fedor imho
