the 2013 join dates arguing against former greats and legends of the sport, what a surprise.
You totally got them schooled, 2011.

Meltzer is a retard and his analysis is really idiotic.
As the greatest HW in UFC history, the only one in his path would be Fedor for the greatest HW in history of MMA. While this match will never happen, I think Cain would beat prime Fedor with no problem.
In his prime, no. Clinch prime Fedor, get your ass tossed to the ground and get relentlessly GNP'd
yes. i saw him need to use the ropes to defend lindland, be dumped on his head by randlman, and totally controlled by bigfoot. you have to understand, the previous generation of LHW's didnt have that happen to them by randleman or lindland. cain made bigfoot look like a child twice. lets not pretend that fedors amazing wrestling just disappeared at 33 years old. cain is 31 now and fucking wrecks bigfoot, prime anyone fedor fought, wrecks guys fedor avoided like barnett and overeem, and wrecks fedor himself
fedor was the best fighter for an era. he gave up size and wrecked people. he was exciting. at no point has he ever displayed elite wrestling. he has actually displayed wrestling nowhere near elite hw status. cain has wrecked and badly outgrappled/cardio'd everyone hes faced. his only blemish has been decisively avenged twice and nobody has come close to his level of grappling. im honestly not even a big cain fan. i could list 20 guys no problem that i cheer more for. hes just the best mma HW of all time and its not even close. you can argue other accomplished more over their career but cain murders prime any HW from any era
I get you are trying to make a pint but seriously? Fedor ducked Barnett, b/c Barnett failed a drug test? Nog controlled Feodr- Fedor is the only guy to own Big Nog both at their PRIMES.
I do not get the Randleplex reference- yeah Fedor got dumped on his head and recovered to sub him.
Skills do depreciate that quickly- Hughes, Chuck to name two.
Clearly Cain is a beast but I give Fedor this fight.
Your only as great as your opponents, and I'm sorry but none of those guys he's handling with ease would be worth anything in today's MMA landscape.
Yes, that includes Mirco. The thing that qualifies my belief in Cain, is the skill level of people like JDS, and how easily he's handling him.
JDS is on a completely different level to anyone that is on Fedor's resume. Yes those people Fedor fought were ranked, but it was at a time when the HW division was terrible.
I'll say this again, we had a person such as Tim Silvia ranked high. That guy was TERRIBLE. He didn't know what to do in the stand up department, and outside of his size he has nothing to offer anybody. The fact that he was even champion is crazy to me.
This is probably going to hurt a bit, but fighters look really impressive when they demolish lesser skilled fighters. You have to ask yourselves how great were any of those guys really? How would any of them fair in today's HW division?
Again this isn't being disrespectful. You cannot have a Cain without first having a Fedor for him to look at as a path to success that could be improved upon.
Yours is far better...
I said Cain would beat fedor after his 2nd win in the ufc people called me crazy but look now
