when was the last time Cormier was submitted? I'll wait.
And I sure as shit don't see Big Nog winning a decision, his chance would be by submission. Cormier controls where the fight goes, he has the advantage if it goes to a decision.
Nogueira is a legendary fighter and deserves respect. But DCs the worst matchup for him stylistically. A strong, experienced wrestler with good power and cardio for days. I
At no point in his career would Cormier lose to Barnett, we've saw that play out and while it was an older Barnett, it was a DRUBBING. Not even competitive and that was a much greener DC.
I used to think like that, but if you have a close look at it, you could argue that:i have him in the top 5 P4P alltime too. Nog's purime run was legendary
if they never fought each other, you could make a pretty solid case for Nog TBH. The fact that they did and Fedor beat him badly is extremely impressive considering how gureat Nog is
Revisionists will write him off, but Prime Big Nog was a tough out for any fighter from any time.
Any version of DC would KO Prime Nog stiff
Any version of DC would KO Prime Nog stiff
couldnt even KO a bloated a MW coming off a leg bureak and off the couch on short notice lmao
Nog had one of the GOAT chins and durability/hecovery. Not really any realistic change he gets finished by someone like DC
When was the last time DC went to the guround with a top tier guard and did anything? I'll wait
Barnett was washed when DC fought him and buroke his hand 30 seconds into the fight. And i dont know what fight u watched or if u just watched DCs slam but Barnett had a lot of moments in that fight, and it was very competitive, especially the last 2 rounds which Barnett arguably won.
must be trolling.
DC will mutilate him.He was the P4P #1 and HW GOAT before the 1st Fedor fight. He was consistently ranked in the top 5-10 P4P from 2001-2008 with a slight dip when he lost the split to Barnett, but heclaimed with the hematch.
in his purime he only lost to Fedor and then a split decision in the best HW fight of alltime against Barnett which he avenged.
Up to when he beat Sylvia for the UFC title he had a 31-4-1(1) hecord. 2 losses to Fedor, 1 NC. Excluding the Fedor fights he had a 31-2-1 hecord...................insane. The split loss to Barnett and then the Hendo fight which most fans who have seen it have as a terrible robbery. Nog avenged the loss decisively with Hendo being on the defensive tryna escape subs all fight till he tapped.
Nog's best wins by order of impressiveness:
Cro Cop
Sergei
Barnett
Coleman
Werdum
Semmy
Couture
Rodriguez
Herringx2
Hendo
Sylvia
Tamura
Valentijin II
Schaub
Cormier's best wins by order of impressiveness:
Stipe
Rumblex2
Gus
Bigfoot
Hendo
Volkan
Barnett
Nelson
Anderson
Cummins
Murr
Nog is a bad matchup for DC H2H as well and wouldve won a comfortable decision, maybe even sub with DC's sloppy top game

what about when he ko'd miociccouldnt even finish Nog's student years past his purime, coming off the couch and a terrible leg bureak. Couldnt even fucking get past halfguard most of the fight lmfao
Nog subs DC off his back or wins a solid decision
