Cormier, Miocic, Aspinall, Cain and Fedor: How do you rank them in their prime?

[DanDragon Machi]

These are probably the top five best HW MMA fighters all time (Jon did only one fight in hw). How you classify their level performance in prime? Did any of their reach a higher level than the others or in a lower tier?

If are they all faced each other in them best version, who would have more victories?

Fedor is the GOAT

 

[filthybliss]

But I have it in their primes:

Fedor>Cain>Stipe>DC>Aspinall

I think JDS should be on there or Werdum tbh to make things more difficult. Aspinall hasn't had enough opportunities yet to illustrate that he is on that level because of Dana and Jon.

 

[don't ask]

Fedor seems underrated in OP's punch and athleticism categories. Aspinall seems overrated at this point.

Fedor>Cain>DC>Stipe>Aspinall

What stops me from putting JDS on this list is the fact that he got dominated so badly twice by another guy on this list when he was supposedly at his peak. Cain made it seem like there was a considerable distance between them

I have the impression that Aspinall is faster and stronger than Fedor in his better days. As for stamina it's difficult to say since Aspinall's fights rarely go past the second round.

what about Werdum? beat both Fedor and Cain

 

[HHJ]

Fedor - 10 million

 

[bng]

face of calvin klein:
Miocic - 0
Aspinall - 0
Fedor - 1
Cormier - 0
Cain - almost but mistakes in his name, 0

 

[Ozze]

Fedor, Mexican Fedor, Black Fedor, Aspinall, Stipe.

 

[Thepaintbucket]

How the hell do you logically rank Fedor a 7 in BJJ and Tom Aspinall a 8??

I don't think they were in them prime

That's a lot to think about.

In a fight ? Championship run Cain is favored and beats them all.

Fedor was renowned for his speed and strength In a way no other HW has been.

 

[Lawrence]

Fedor, Mexican Fedor, Black Fedor, Aspinall, Stipe.

lol I spit coffee.

Although I think if we are going by peaks... Mexican Fedor runs the table.

 

[Pitier of Fools]

Those are tough to rank.

I'd put Cain last though, because I think everyone on that list beats him in their prime - except for maybe Aspinall.

 

[World eater]

I would rank them all top 10, but not all top 5.

 

[gspieler]

In a hypothetical tournament, my money is on Fedor. Stipe/Cain/DC are coin flips. I'm not familiar enough with Aspinall to speculate

I think would all be close fights. Cain could beat all them but I wouldn't be surprised if he lose for the four
