In time perhaps, he is on his way to the top as we speak. Of course if he loses tonight everyone will say he is just overrated like they always do.
No, because he isn't beating JDS tonight.
You arent even capable of correctly naming Fedors opponents, so go back in line and climb up the knowledge ladder before anything else.
lol, Im naming them all just fine man. If you mean spelling, yeah, might be a missing or wrong letter here or there, but the guys are spot on.
Ive watched all his fights except for the 3 Russian rings matches at least once, if not two or 3 or more times. You should do the same.
Get on the ladder baby!
If you don't even know who I meant...lol
Fugita? Fajita? Choi Hung Man? You sure know your MMA...
Werdum
Barnett
Cormier
Hunt
Overeem
Those are some guys Fedor didn't even get to fight. Werdum also beat Fedor.
Yes its absolutely essential we all know Hong Man's proper name as he was such a big boost to his ledger right!?!?!
Wtf are you even talking about???Do you think Fedor forced that fight?
Have a thought crossed your mind that some how some way organization is catering to the fans? Do you know that Japanese fans wanted to see freak show, humans that are different from the norm in terms of weight and height? Yes and you can even say that black peopel are away from the Japanese norm like Rampage said about his first fights and how he was looked at by the Japanese fans.
Beside that, Hong Man Choi was a someway decent K1 fighter and won some fights (some of them with the help of the judges to get him to the 16 men tournament for TV ratings in Japan).
Wtf are you even talking about???
So because Japanese fans like seeing a big stiff idiot being lead to slaughter means it's a legacy enhancer?
no.
Quote me on "legacy enhancer". Where did I write it?
So what was the point of that rant? Or is all you have, pointing out the improper spelling of a no name fighter as grounds of MMA knowledge ???
Are we still going to argue about Fedor's legacy? Though I don't see any real Fedor hate on here. All the belligerents were short term I guess.
As far as comparing divisions, I hear some people on here claim Pride had prime Nog, Barnett, and Werdum...
Werdum is in his prime now, Barnett is finally back in the UFC and doesn't look too bad for the years, Nog is old but still a good fighter, and then you have guys like Cormier who I wonder if Fedor could EVER have beat. This Heavyweight Division is the best MMA HW division ever. I think Velasquez IS like a young hungry Fedor so; he should be pretty dominant, though he has massive, skilled, determined Heavyweights in his division that Fedor just never had to really worry about, like Bigfoot and dos Santos. Not that I don't think "Prime Fedor" wouldn't have put Bigfoot down like Cormier did.
I never bought the "new breed" of giant HW's were too much for smaller faster HWs and Cain is proving that again today. Could he go undefeated for a decade? Yeah but I seriously doubt it. Not only that, but I don't think he has to in order to eclipse Fedor's record. To do that I just want to see him dominate his division for a good three or four years. That would be something! If he beats Barnett, Werdum, the next up and comer (maybe Jon Jones), and continues to do so in exciting fashion (remember, Fedor was exciting!), then he should take his place along Fedor in the GOAT discussion.
What is your point of accusing me of something - which you know I did not write - and I calling you on it why you are asking what my point is?
My first post in this thread was about your initial post how you compare fighters in different points of their careers to make an argument for Cain being HW GOAT. This argument is flawed, because the win over the consensus No 1 in Big Nog in 2003 is different to the Big Nog of 2010. Very different.
