Could prime Fedor(2005) finish current top 5 MWs in one night?

No. Romero as the first fight would be hell. I think Fedor would eventually starch him but that isn't going to be a 2 minute fight.
Luke could potentially keep Fedor at range for a long time making it a long night for Fedor trying to get inside.
Kelvin would probably get submitted quick.
Jacare has the best chance as his finishing moves could catch anyone at anytime.
Israel is a bit too light for Fedor not to walk thru his range and get lit up inside.

Fujita almost KOd Fedor but Gastelum would get submitted ASAP?

He folds Weidman like a cheap tin chair,
He smashes Rockhold, Ade and Gastelum.

Romero and Prime Jacare would cause problems though, He wreck current Jacare.

Prime Anderson would also cause issues, would have been the greatest fight of all time if those guys fought in 2008 - 2009.

Only 5, is that it? Prime Fedor could probably take on the whole UFC roster in one night. FFS
There should just be one thread made that Prime anyone could beat anyone ever and end this foolishness

Remember the 2nd Coleman fight? Fedor stuffs all Romero's takedowns and starches him
Souza- Do you think Souza's got anything for Fedor that Big Nog didn't? Souza is in every way inferior to prime Big Nog, realistically
Rockhold- Luke uses a style similar to CroCop's, but is inferior. Add his boxing weakness and no one punch KO power, and Fedor walks through him

Luke has a dominant ground game and top control. Fedor beat cro cop in large part because he took him down and was in his guard for half the fight.

Not if Dan Henderson is his first fight. Then it is one and done, good night Fedor.

Pride rulez, the middleweights have to cut weight as usual, Fedor doesn't. Also, half an hour breaks between fights.

Romero
Rockhold
Souza
Gastelum
Adesanya

. . .

Bonus round: Whittaker

I think he beats them
Insane flurry on Romero
Boxes up Rockhold
Boxes up Souza
Ragdolls Gastelum and Israel
Whittaker is a tough one, but he still ourstrikes him

Also, I get that 5 or 6 fights in oneonight is A LOT, but Fedor would outweigh them all by about ~30lbs, and he has that KO power to end most fights early

Edit: I'll explain my rationale even further


Romero:Good wrestler, but he wouldn't be able to stand up to Fedor's pace or skill on the ground. I see Fedor boxing him up with hooks, maybe knocking him down and submitting him

Rockhold: Fedor beat CroCop, who is a better striker than Luke, and a lot stronger. Also, Fedor would exploit Luke's chin/boxing issues

Souza: Too stationary and predictable. If Whittake's striking could confuse him and knock him down, Prime Fedor would have a highlight reel moment before he KOs/TKOs him

Gastelum: Too small/short. Fedor finishes him however he wants

Israel: Fedor is too strong. Closes the distance, enters the clinch and ragdolls him

Whittaker: If a ~205 lb Romero with not-the-best striking could wobbles him multiple times, a 235 lb Fedor would send him packing

This is the type of thread that stirred the wildest conversations in OG forums 10-15 years ago.

Not sure if ban hammer or promotion to black belt.
 
Jacare gives prime Fedor hardest fight out all those

Rockhold isn't anywhere close to the striker Crocop is though, his boxing defence is highly questionable and I think Fedor copuld potentially finish him quickly as a result.

Romero is the most dangerous of these IMHO, he's dangerous to anyone on the night.

5 matches in one night against quality opponents is really an unknown, that's going to be hard on the hands/legs of anyone although I spose he could get a few sub wins instead(not vs Jacare though). Size wise I would say a prime Fedor is more like a LHW by todays standards as well, it was really more latter Fedor who was carrying less muscle and could potentially have made MW without the fat.

agree that rockhold isn't as good as crocop on the feet. just pointing out a flaw in the analysis that simply paints rockhold as an inferior version of crocop.

but it's high level trolling to suggest what ts is suggesting and does a disservice to fedor and his fanbase.

You really have two debates don't you, could he beat all of these guys and could be beat them all in one night? the latter is really a big unknown as we've never seen anyone even try that, a few fighters have fought 4 times on one night but not against quality opponents.

I would say that if anyone could potentially do something like that it would be prime Fedor, the ability to finish matches quickly in many different fashions and not just with his hands/feet as I suspect broken bones would probably be the biggest risk in that kind of thing. A prime Mirko for example would have the finishing ability but putting 5 people down without messing up his legs? injuries were always his problem in K-1 WGP's.

If you start getting into prolonged fights then likely it becomes impossible, maybe less so if your taking 3 rounders.

Usually posts like these are too absurd for me but when Fedor or Romero are mentioned it gets me excited so fuck it...

I know everyone rags on Yoel’s cardio but the smart money never sleeps on 3rd Romero. Romero cracks Fedor with a flying knee in the 3rd and if he can’t launch a finishing move then Fedor melts him.

Fedor for sure beats any version of Rockhold via speed and boxing prowess.

I can see him cracking Jacare and sprawling out of TD attempts, he certainly wouldn’t be foolish enough to enter a grappling exchange with the alligator though.

Israel is the kind of guy Fedor would use his striking to close the distance on and hit one of his judo throws or trips, maintain a heavy top game and rain down bombs to a TKO GnP victory or chokehold.

Gastelum can tank some impressive hits so I see Fedor piecing him up to a UD

Whittaker... that’s a tough motherfucker and he’s far more crafty and slick than people give him credit for. Fedor by SD or UD.
