Mitrione, Rothwell, others would beat them both tomorrow.
That's because in those sports teams play the same number of games. If you habe more wins you have less losses.No sport takes losses into account until a tie breaker.
Example: NFL playoffs - 2 teams are attempting to get into the wild card position.
Team A has a record of 11 wins
Team B has a record of 10 wins
Team A gets in the playoffs because they have more victories. Easy right? MMA, boxing, whatever is the same.
Fighter A has 11 quality victories
Fighter B has 10 quality victories
Fighter A has the better resume.
Fighter A might have 20 more losses than fighter B, doesn't matter.
Hendo and Big Nog are perfect examples of that being the case.
not really a fair comparison.
cain has 16 fights. Reem has 60
its not a popular opinion because it isnt true-
most people know a resume is a work history.
Reem has a history of 15 losses,
including bums like Travis Browne, Chuck Liddell, and people youve never heard of.
Cain has 2 losses- JDS and Werdum, 2of the best 5 HWs ever.
dumb thread.

let's see who he has on his record. JDS, Bigfoot, Travis Browne, and Rothwell are his best wins.
if you think Chuck Liddell is a bum you need to check yourself
Facts.
Counting losses at HW with a guy who's stayed active since Pride and a guy who fights as often as an eclipse is simply ridiculous.
Quality is pretty simple honestly. Were they a top 10 fighter at the time of the fight, or were they not.And here "quality" victories is subjective. How much weight does beating frank mir on a four fight skid really hold? Or arlovski. The only win on reems resume worth mentioning when comparing him to cain is werdum
Who gets into college football bowl games, and who is ranked and who isn't, is based entirely on votes (BCS ranking). It's a totally different system that honestly nobody really understands.they absolutely take losses into account- its a zero sum game.
this isnt even debatable- there is never a team with 10 wins,
a 2nd team with 10 wins,
but 1 team has 1 loss and other team has 10 losses and theyre trying to decide who gets in the playoffs.
back to your first point- see college football- they absolutely count losses.
IF THEY ARENT UNDEFEATED, THEY HAVE NO SHOT. EVEN WITH THE SAME # OF WINS
