coz ure forgettin´ 2 things:
1/ When Tom went to Pride, he was already past his physical prime (35-36 yrs old). This partly explains his sub-par performance against Heath (but Heath had been developping/changing his game too, since World Vale Tudo Championships)
2/ Since it was the "early" days of Vale Tudo/NHB, Tom E. had access to few tournaments. His draw against Bustamante was his 3rd bout of the night (Bustamante was an underrated ol´school fighter), Bustamante was younger than him, and had spent less time in the 2 previous bouts)
Now ure sayin´ Ben´s victory over Josh (past-his-prime) is greater than Tom´s victory over prime Randleman?
Well hey, when im wrong, I say I'm wrong. I have nothing to rebut with.
