if he wants to be goat he has to beat sea-level cain.

LOL...I didn't fully understand Fedor fans mentality until one just openly admitted "I don't care what any HW does, no one will ever be as great a HW as Fedor."
Which of course interprets to "I've closed my mind and no new information will alter the static state in which it exists."

It's pretty hard to come up with an argument that beats "10 years undefeated fighting bigger, heavier guys."

Even with a Cormier win he'd still be ranked at #6 all time as a HW.
I know this bothers people but based off his accomplishments he's still way behind guys that fought for 15+ years. His body of work is too small.
