Which version of Sergei is prime? The one who was KO'd by a smaller Overeem and Aleks back-to-back? Or the one who got north-south choked by a past-his-prime Monson in under 2 minutes?
After he beat Sergei, Overeem went on to lose to Werdum, Arona, Little Nog and Shogun within the next year.
An old, way-past-his prime Monson also subbed Sergei very quickly and easily. This was around the same time that Monson lost twice to Pedro Rizzo, who was also way past his prime.
Again though into the era were Sergei working towards a kickboxing career(that was his main focus from 2009-14), if his grappling always sucked how do you explain being fine on his back vs Werdum and Nog?
