why Fedor can't be the GOAT HW.

[ReasonableMMAFan]

Fact of the matter is this, he never beat the UFC's elite heavyweights. Sure he beat some good to great fighters in Pride, but you can only beat Big Nog so many times before people start getting better more relevant wins. So there's guys like Cain, Werdum, JDS, Overeem, heck...even low level guys like Barnett and Rothwell who Fedor blatantly ducked. He doesn't have any wins over these guys and that really hurts his legacy, especially compared to fighters like JDS or Miocic who have these crazy records with everyone from Pride and the UFC on them.


Fedor is a good fighter with several wins over former UFC HW Champions, but if you notice those five heavyweights are some of the worst Champions the UFC ever saw.

Cain, Stipe, JDS and Werdum can't be the GOAT either, because there's a fighter coming up right now who will be better in 10 years

Don't mention all those top fighters your going to scare Fedor.

#JDSbless you delusional nuthuggers

1) poor tim

that fight fucked him up in so many ways. there was no way he would ever rule any Org that Fedore might have fought in, and there was no way that UFC would take him back after being demolished.

2) why is cain in teh discussion as an elite HW?

 

[Bill Laimbeer]

Barnett failed a round test to get their fight canceled and both guys you are saying he ducked both have multiple positive steroid tests. I dcan't be even like Fedor but I don't like your garbage posts even less.

And Tim is still the best UFC HW champion. Nobody can beat his number of defences.

Emelianenko is without a doubt the GOAT.

Actually, the term "GOAT" was invented to refer to Emelianenko.

You noobs understand nothing. And never will, because you don'twant to.

At this point I just hope you're all trolling.

Tha GOAT shit was originally half in jest. Loong time ago BTW.

Who is the best ? Who are we comparing Fedor to?

These were among the champs during his era, albeit not in the same organization, but in the same time pool.

So who should he have beat?

Cain, JDS, etc. can't be GOAT because they never fought in PRIDE. See how that works TS? There is such a things as eras, runs and promotions. PRIDE was bigger than the UFC at the time. It would like asking Cain to go to Bellator to cement his legacy.

Ya'll talk about GOAT's so much it's like this is a fucking livestock auction on here.
