DC the best fighter acquired from Strikeforce?

[Evangelion]

There were a lot, I mean a lot of great fighters acquired from Strikeforce but imo DC has outshone all of them

3 categories imo

The hype
Nick Diaz- more hype than results
Melendez- same as Diaz
Nate Marquardt- awful in his return
Bigfoot Silva- decent wins but thrashed in a lot of fights
Feijao

The very good
Josh Thomson
Derek Brunson
Josh Barnett
Miesha Tate
Osp
Lorenz Larkin
Jake Shields
Hendo

The elite
Ronda Rousey- hate if you must
Luke Rockhold
Fabricio Werdum
Alistair Overeem
Tyron Woodley
Gegard Mousasi-
Robbie Lawler
Jacare
Yoel Romero

I know I'm missing a bunch but I think thats most of them. IMO Woodley, DC, Rockhold and Werdum all separated themselves when they won gold. Dc, Woodley and Werdum all defended so they are a step above Rockhold. Dcs opposition, decisive victories and big wins in 2 weight classes seperate him from the other 2.

Anyone disagree?

KO'd by Uriah Hall hmmm. Every time he faced one of elite mws he lost. Not even close

Ohhhhhhhh you
Mean that flukey spin kick to the body

What happened in the rematch?

Mousasi in the USADA era is the best MW

Don't hate just accept

 

[Rampage_Jackson]

Strikeforce was such a dope company

Did you see his bellator debut? Biggest robbery ever.


Of course its DC. He's arguably GOAT FFS.

Honda made them them the most money. DC accomplished the most in the long run.

Did you miss when Mousasi got ko'd by a fringe top 15 mw, or when he lost to a mw Machida who couldn't beat anyone else? Or finally when he did get a shot at an elite mw and got absolutely torched by Jacare.

Love Mousasi but he's not on DCs level

Yeah but how well did my boy shine the minute USADA stepped in
Come on

Melendez I don't think was hype, I think he was legit, but just coming out of his prime just as he transitioned. Definitely an elite fighter. Hypothetically would have been like Chuck or Hughes transitioning to Pride in say 2007. The rest is pretty accurate

Strikeforce guys were equal to that of their UFC counterparts, just slightly more shallow division wise

And the whole he was on steroids/ Usada thing ... Elite? That's like saying Miguel Angel Torres was elite. It was proven false.

Dude did you not get the memo?
Gil gets a pass on that because he's part of the cool scrap pack gang
Err west side ?

And FTR i would put Werdum over DC

Got beat up and barely won against an old, past his prime, unranked fighter.
