well that kinda ain't fair, Fedor is the goat so....as is...

Was BJJ ever really his nemesis? he powerbombed Arona through the ring,and didnt get submitted all that much in his prime. His problems were cardio,motivation,and stubbornly refusing to check leg kicks.Imagine Rampage with a BJJ game.
He didnt have a lack of training back then,neither did Fedor.

Well,the sky was the limit. He really took it to Barnett,and only way Barnett could win was to constantly come forward,even if he had to eat hits,Diego Sanchez style,until Alex couldnt take the pressure anymore,tired his ass out. Thats experience for ya.Fedor said Aleks was a better athlete than he was and lazy AF.
???????I think Jose Junior probably would've had the most natural potential. .

What training is there now that wasnt available to Aldo when he was champion?
What the fuck is you talkin about son?When training improved, Fedor went down, not up.

BJ Penn was as good as he ever needed to be with his skillset. Motivation was his enemy. Young BJ runs through most of the LWs of today easily.
Oh please,people just train the way they feel like training. What works for them,and their fighters. There is no real right way. Fedor's training worked for him. If he trained anywhere else,he wouldnt have been the fucking GOAT. His style was completley unorthodox. You cant change him into a normal fighter,and put him through run of the mill generic training that some experts said is the way to do it...that would be missing the whole point.better training, larger camps, more sparring partners, more science on when to peak, when to take a day off.
Fighters and coaches that learned from the mistakes of the previous generation, what works, what doesn't.
Its an evolution as the fight game evolves.

You don't think Olympic medalist competing in sports with FAR larger pools of competitors already have this figured out. While I agree that a young Yoshida would have been a beast, there isn't really any advances in technique or training from then until now that would have been much benefit.better training, larger camps, more sparring partners, more science on when to peak, when to take a day off.

New moves, oblique kick to keep distance for example.
