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

Prime Nog would be an easy fight for Cormier. He'd keep it on the feet and box him to death like Cain did.

Werdum's chances against Cormier aren't good either I think. Werdum might land a knee or a devastating body kick, but that's basically a "puncher's chance."

The rest I agree with.
 
With his limited striking, cardio, poor ability to defend and take body shots and bad habits on the ground his chances would be extremely slim.

It's a simple matter of styles.

We havent seen anyone at hw even challenge DC.

Many of the guys DC beat to pulp were brutalizing Fedor.
 
Yea cause Mir was in his prime, nice forgetting that Mir smashed nog before when both were in closer to their primes
Bet you're the type of retard who also thinks Cro cop is some mythical creature that can KO anyone.

LMAO reminding me that he lost to Brendan schaub FFS, not even no chin nog lost to him.

Further proving my point that no juice Cro cop was terrible.

Yeah... because Juicing sure teaches people this kind of technique. Can you point me to what kind of steroids will help me become like Crocop? Lol



How many MMA fighters at heavyweight or even light heavyweight do you know, who can strike like that?

Also, you're using logic here and there to try to come to the conclusion he sucks. Now, you're being dishonest to logic by using half truths. If you want to explore this with all its facts, (which I'm sure you don't) you'll see you're wrong.

I'm not gonna write a whole story since I don't expect sherdoggers to sit through a couple of sentences but here's a quick rundown.

1.it ain't cheating if everyone was Juicing, everyone he fought was Juicing too, no advantage whatsoever in that regard
2.When you stop Juicing, your body is WAY WORSE OFF than if it never did, if anything he fought handicapped in the UFC with very low testosterone levels
3. He fought many younger guys in the UFC, and even the guys he fought from his era, don't even have one fourth of the fights and training camps Mirko has accumulated throughout his career. People only take age into consideration for prime, but they never take the amount of wear and tear.
4. Being a kickboxer, with his best weapon being a left kick, he's unable to corner people in the cage, his best work came from cornering people in the ring.
5. Fabricio Werdum who was barely a top 5 guy in Pride, wasn't even CLOSE to a title shot, he couldn't even get past Sergei Kharitonov or Nogueira. This was back when Fabricio was much younger and in a physical prime. Now at 40 years old he became a UFC champ. And not by beating a crappy old UFC heavyweight like Arlovski or Mir, but by beating the younger new generation.
6. Crocop absolutely destroyed a prime Hunt and Nogueira in the feet. These same guys Crocop tooled have funnily enough beat ALL the guys Mirko has lost to.

Nelson, Kongo, Schuab, Gonzaga, guys who Fabricio (Crocops striking coach for a couple of years mind you) and Hunt took out with ease.

Proof that Crocop dropped out of his Prime in the 2006 grand prix .

Damn it I couldn't help myself. I wrote a whole story.

The rest I agree with.

Here are the problems:

1.Comier isn't that good of a striker; he's sloppy and gets punched a lot in the face and body. He does hit hard but Nog had an iron chin. He wouldn't KO Nog out cold. Cain KO'd a past prime Nog who no longer had the chin, so that's irrelevant. Also Nog had pretty decent hands (outboxed guys like Kharitonov) and he would be mixing striking with TD attemps, which could led to more openings.

2. Nogueira's cardio was insane. The fight would most likely go to the distance and Comier would be breathing heavy in the later rounds, which could led him to get punched more or even taken down.

About Werdum, I think you can't give him a puncher's chance at this point. He's been hurting people with his strikes in the last few years. He's KO'd guys like Hunt and gave Overeem a run for his money in the stand-up. On the other hand DC has been getting hurt by knees and body shots. ObjectiveIy, if there's someone who would have a puncher's it's DC.

That's because he never actually fought the best HW's. He never fought Overeem, Werdum, Cain, JDS, etc. Those were the elites at the time.

MMAth doesn't work. Much less without taking timing into account.

You need something a lot better than that.

Cheers.
 
DC destroys grapplers. Just watch his HW fights. He has excellent positioning on the ground.

CroCop was so dominant in a ring where he could cut off fighters who had no idea how to defend his kicks. Fedor's style was much better in a ring as well. In the cage DC beats them.

DC competitors were all top 10. But keep in mind those fights werent competitive.
DC never even lost a round or was taken down. Some of those guys stretched guys like Overeem.

That said, they all knocked Fedor out, even a 45 year old MW Henderson

You're still using MMAth and without considering timing.

Try again.

Im not only considering timing, im considering, records, performance against common opponents athletisim, skill and fight iq.

Which places DC ahead of just about everyone.

Then you don't understand fighting. It's that simple. Timing is crucial.

Common opponents = useless. Fighters match up differently with each other. It's been proven countless times. This is basic knowledge.

No offense, but you need to learn a lot about fights before you try to get into an argument with me.
 
I think DC could have won any of those fights, not to say that Overeem might not land a fight changing knee or Fedor hits a submission, but Cormier was very solid at heavyweight. If he wins this next fight with Rumble he should get back to exploring his options there and look for a dual title opportunity.

Well as you present no cogent rebuttals your claim to be erudite in fighting in null.

The facts are overwhelming. If every single fighter in a sanctioned organization (wihout fixed outcome) whips Fedors ass, and DC whips all their asses.

The "evidence" is overwhelming.

That's just plain old common sense.
 
i thought that, based on his fans, he had knee injuries the minute he lost a fight.

you think 14 year old shogun causes dc fits?

Nah, he has knee injuries based upon when he has knee injuries.

He fought Forrest with a pre-existing knee injury, had surgery on it immediately after the fight, then reruptured the ligaments a few months later and had surgery again.


I dont know what you mean by your last question. It is absolutely retarded and has nothing to do with what we are talking about.

it just happens, according to his fans, to coincide with ever fight he has ever lost. ok

and its pretty shitty of shogun fans to try to diminish forrest's achievements.

I dont really care about these so-called "Shogun fans" you keep trying to bring up.

Nothing you are saying changes the fact that a 2005 Shogun vs DC would be a great fight, especially if it was in Pride.
