5 nightmare HW match-ups for Daniel Cormier (past & present)

Where's my "Cheers?"

Fedor went 4-4 in the U.S.

And I guess you mean the CroCop who beat Dos Caras Jr. and a bunch of 190 lb Japs. That guy was a killer. Weird that he was totally shot and getting KO'd by Gonzaga at 32. Who was that top 5 HW that CroCop beat again? DC bodyslammed the same Josh who was Mirko's best win. He also easily defeated 2 guys who flatlined Mirko.

Delusion is bliss.

Cherry-oh!

I can see it really bothers you when I say cheers.

You're not talking about Fedor and Crocop circa 2003-2006 as the thread especifies, so your post is irrelevant. Sorry.

Oh and cheers.

Thinly veiled Jones hate thread. I like Fedor too, but his fan-boy's with the unhealthy man-crushes can't come to grips with the fact that Jones has subjectively surpassed him.

Also DC handling Barnett is proof that he could have hung with the top tier in Pride. In a cage I think he handles them all. In a ring I think would have troubles especially with Fedor and Cro Cop, still pick em fights though.

Jones fans need to ease their paranoia. Not everything people says about DC is to downplay Jones. DC is a very overrated fighter himself and posts like yours prove it. He's never defeated a top 5 HW and you think he could have defeated the best Pride HW's.

Prime CC would be a horrible matchup for DC. The rest of those guys he could be competitive with though.

I love Pride as much as the next guy, but DC is a fucking beast himself. He could hang in there with anyone from any era.

He's a tough guy but he has too many flaws. I don't think he would have been able to hang with the best Pride fighters. He gets hurt by strikes pretty often at LHW. Forget about the elite. Seeing how he did against Gus I think a guy like Kharitonov would have eaten his lunch.

Fedor and Nog are my fav fighters ever. But DC is elite too. You are assuming he would get caught in subs based on nothing which is a big part of your post.

Based on his terrible habits while on top.
 
The only fighter who is a nightmare matchup is Cro Cop. The rest, Cormier has a good chance in beating.

20 year old Nogueira probably had the best cardio in the history of HW. Cormier slows down in every single fight he's fought in.
Nog would win by the end.

Yup.

I think Nog would've worn him down.

Cormier is great, but he's also severely overrated at HW. He doesn't have a single top 5 HW win, and some people think he could beat the best HW's ever.

Wasn't Bigfoot top five after beating Fedor?
 
DC fucks up most of those guys.

Those are basically the best HWs you could find too, I was expecting some style clashes.

DC would kill Noguiera and Crocop. Overeem and Fedor, not so sure.

Ever seen how Cormier takes liver kicks? Ever seen how he defends head kicks?

Old Andy made DC squeal with a liver kick and he doesn't kick like CroCop.

And Considering DC's cardio, striking and game on top, Nogueira is a terrible fight for him.
 
Real men dont block body kicks LoL


Apparently not a damn fighter on earth checks a leg kick anymore either. They just eat them, like a man would do.

This has to be the biggest let down in modern MMA
 
DC would absolutely blast Nog, Reem and Werdum

Fedor and CC would be tough matchups stylistically
