DC´s Best Win...

[gono btw]

His win over Jon Jones... oh wait... he didn't beat Jon Jones...

It's hard to say, DC has incredible resume...

Gus, Prime Rumble, Stipe, Barnett, Prime Bigfoot, Roy, Mir, Prime Volkan, out of prime Anderson...

I'd rank his victories this way:

1. Stipe
2. Rumble
3. Gus
4. Barnett
5. Bigfoot
6-8. Mir/Roy/Volkan
9-10. Anderson/Hendo
11-13. Tony Johnson/Palelei/Cummins

Barnett will probably be ranked higher than Rumble or Gus, even perhaps Miocic, in the ATG lists, when it´s all said and done.

 

[IIIIIIII]

DC has some amazing wins.

- Barnett

-Stipe

-Gus

-Rumble 2x

-Anderson

-Bigfoot

-Mir

-Hendo


Legendary resume.

the hendo fight was almost unfair. threw hendo around like a lightweight.

Barnett will probably be ranked higher than Rumble or Gus, even perhaps Miocic, in the ATG lists when it´s all said and done.

Stipe is greatest or second greatest heavyweight of all time. Gus and Rumble are top 10-15 in LHW history rankings for me. Barnett is 8, 9 or 10 at HW ATG.

I havent seen it in years but didnt DC absolutely ragdoll him ?

yeah, all about context though...

"Stipe is greatest or second greatest heavyweight of all time"

 

[Workaholic]

not into betting, but checking in google, found other references that contradict this one...

Barnett opened as the favourite and dropped steadily because money was coming in on DC. Opening odds aren't what determine the favourite it's the closing odds. What you found would have been opening odds. DC closed as the favourite on fight night

The line moves dependant on the money coming in. For example, if lots of people are betting on DC and not Barnett, DC becomes he favourite

Yeah, you´re probably right, Im not into betting..

The way I see it, DC couldnt be realistically the favourite, too rookie for someone like Barnett..

top 2 is a lock, dude...

 

[gono btw]

Rumble, Stipe, Gus

Barnett bigger name than Gus or Rumble imo, all-time

 

[Melas Chasma]

According to Jones it's Gus since he's better than DC



Oh Jonny.

Well, based on opponents skill level Gus is his best win. It is not a coincidence Gus was by far the toughest fight of his career that he won. Legacy wise his biggest win is Stipe ofc.

 

[Deleted member 510653]

In terms of physical performance the Hendo fight was his finest work imo

@gono btw

I think this is pretty accurate:

1 Fedor
1 Stipe
3 Minotauro
4 Werdum
5 Cain
6 Junior
7 Cormier
8 Cro Cop
9 Overeem
10 Barnett
11 Arlovski
12 Mir
13 Couture
14 Coleman
15 Bas
16 Severn
17 Hunto
18 Royce
19 Frye
20 Vovchanchyn
21 Sylvia
22 Rizzo
23 Randleman
24 Kharitonov
25 Taktarov

1 Jones
1 Cormier
3 Liddell
4 Hendo
5 Shogun
6 Wand
7 Ortiz
8 Rampage
9 Machida
10 Evans
11 Couture
12 Lil Nog
13 Griffin
14 Rumble
15 Gustafsson
16 Belfort
17 Frank Shamrock
18 Arona
19 Mezger
20 Bader

based on:

• top wins
• number of defeats (against who and which time)
• titles (defences, which promotion)
• way of winning

Also, DC beat Rumble and Gus in their absolute primes.

Stipe > Barnett, Rumble & Gus
Rumble, Gus ~ Barnett

Stipe > Barnett, Rumble & Gus
Rumble, Gus ~ Barnett

nah, the OGs know about the top2, a lock

On a sidenote, Rumble retired b4 realistically reaching a potential [technical] prime, especially on the ground...

Barnett´s resume is arguably better than Miocic´s, imo

"Rumble, Gus ~ Barnett" : puh-lease....

 

[Sapp]

Barnett will probably be ranked higher than Rumble or Gus, even perhaps Miocic, in the ATG lists when it´s all said and done.

I don't think a higher ATG ranking means necessarily a better win though. Just look at someone like Bisping, who'd rank well above people who are much more difficult to beat. Rumble wouldn't rank too highly on ATG lists but he was a complete monster at his natural weight class.

depends on the context, Barnett was on a tear then,and DC was still technically a rookie.

 

[ANIM4L]

Stipe, although poking him in both eyes before the KO soured it for me.

 

[Sweater of AV]

Barnett imho. I'm also not a big fan of DC's win over Stipe. I'm critical of how Jones eye pokes people and DC deserves the same criticism in that fight (as others have mentioned). This shit is pretty weak:

As for all-time HW rankings the top 2 are Fedor and Big Nog.
